Hoover Air Purifier - WH10100



Does great for many applications.
I am extremely allergic to dust mite and cats..I own 2 cats. So this machine has alot to live up to. I have owned this for 5 months, and it works just as well as day 1. I also have a bearded dragon and therefore have crickets and super-worms. I put this in the room. within a hr or 2 I didnt smell the bug smell that was kinda offensive..I love this machine and I am extremely glad I took the risk on buying it. Because its quiet and small size it fits in anywhere. I do not even hear it much at night..

Not well designed
Air seeps into the case from seams between metal panels. As a result, the fan pulls air from the filter (the intended way) and the seams on the case (unintended way) and blows the mixture of filtered + dusty air back into the room. I "fixed" the defect by taping the seams on the case. The Hoover engineers could do a better job.

Just what I was expecting.
The unit is small, light, and quite enough. The controls are easy to use and easy to see in the dark. I have yet to clean the pre filter. after about 2 weeks use it appears to be very clean. I will have to refer to the users manual on when to change the HEPA filter. I use the unit about 4 hours a day - and almost exclusively at night. Since moving into our new house I have had sinus congestion every morning. We had a HVAC technician come to the house and monitor the air quality with an air analyzer for 4 days. The results came back negative on mold/spores, excessive dust, or fumes. I figured its because of the new carpet they installed prior to us moving in. Once I got the Hoover Air Purifier and used it for the first night - the results were instant. Much more clear sinuses indeed. As far as for noise, I like to keep the fan level on 1 at night to keep it as quite as possible. The gentle humming is actually somewhat soothing. Level 2 and 3 on the fan does make a bit too much noise...
