I do keep the box cleaned daily but it still smells when an animal eliminates. The odor has a way of lingering in the air. It works as far as it goes for sucking any particles floating through the air and I have found dust collecting on the filter. But it does not help in the area of eliminating the smell of cat feces. I made my decision based on another review that said it was purchased to help with litter box odors. For the price I basically bought an expensive dust collector and even then there isn't that much dust found on the filter (which is hard to believe considering that I have 80% carpeting in my house).

Delivers a lot of air at minimal noise. I purchased one of the units for our guest bedroom was very impressed with the performance of the unit.

Although it has a permanent non replaceable filter that is cleaned by vacuuming the unit it is money well spend for a quality product.

I just ordered another for our computer room to replace a very noisy Honeywell desk model.

I give it five stars easily..

Haddad Thu, 18 Feb 2010 03:15:19 +0000 http://filters-n-purifiers.com/315/hamilton-beach-04383-true-air-allergen-reducing-air-cleaner/#comment-718 I ordered this air filter after dealing with my friends' allergies to my newly-acquired longhaired cat (himalayans are giant poofballs). His hair and dander combined with my shorthaired cat created a knockout effect on my allergic friends. As I like being around them AND my cats, I got a filter. Instead of immediately sneezing up a storm, my allergy-inclined friends can last several hours before being affected. <br /> <br />The filter also eliminates smell from the litterbox. It's very powerful for its size and takes care of my entire one bedroom apartment. Having it plus using a carpet deodorizer every few days keeps my place manageable to those not super duper allergic to cats but allergic and sneezy nonetheless. <br /> <br />For full effect, I suggest using it in a room with the door shut on full blast for two or three hours. Afterward, for dander management keep it on the quiet setting. If I know people are coming over I turn it up higher and put it back on quiet when they're around. It's very quiet background noise, barely noticeable. <br /> <br />I haven't had to clean the filter yet, but it is very easy to remove to do so.

They tend to aggravate my sinuses, which in turn affect my sleep quality. <br /> <br />I used to have a different Hamilton Beach filter that was ~$50 retail, and required new filters every 3 months. A couple months ago when I went to replace it, I saw they didn't offer the replacement filter anymore at a reasonable price. That's when I stumbled upon this filter. I wouldn't recommend this for someone suffering from dust allergies. <br /> <br />You can still hear it on quiet mode, so I usually leave it off until the evening hours...and then I crank it to high for a bit in my bedroom before turning it off. It seems to do the job well enough, but if you suffer from dust allergies the way I do, I'd recommend more environmental controls rather than plunking down money on a low end filter like this. <br /> <br />Encase your sheets and pillows with mite-proof coverings. Vacuum all surfaces regularly, and wash sheets regularly. These will be more effective than this filter. And as a side bonus, your room will always be clean :) <br /> <br /> Rating: 2 / 5 I’ve been waging a long time battle with the dust mites in my room.

It a filter made of nylon or something like that surrounded by cardboard. It would have be far better to have made the filter washable and better quality. I do not believe that this filter will continue to work well just by vacuuming it, just will not hold up and I am not sure if the filter is replaceable.
