I bought the Holmes HAP242-UC HEPA Air Purifier because it had been recommended that I try an air purifier in my house due to severe allergies. This is an economical model, it runs fairly quietly (even on the highest setting it is a minimal "white" noise) and clears the air well in the bedroom that I placed it in. I like this model specifically for the bedroom because it is not as loud as the other 2 models (both Holmes) that I have that work for the same size areas (around 110 Sq Ft) The outer charcoal filer is easily wiped clean a few times before you have to replace it. It has a optional ionizer. The only real drawback between this and some other models is that it does not have the reminder option for setting the button when you change the inner filter in order to remind yourself to change it again in 3 months or so. But I usually check the inner filters on a regular basis anyway so this is not a big deal to me. Overall, very highly recommend this item for efficient air purification of an area 110 sq ft (or less) and quiet operation.Read full review
Item was as described. New in Box. I was lucky to find the exact same one as I had before. It lasted for a long time. Would be nice to get Positive Feedback.

I use this in my bedroom and am very happy with it. The only reason it only got 4 stars is when you turn it up to full speed on the fan it is a bit noisy, so I turn it on ahead of time full blast before going to bed and then just turn it on low just before going to bed. It takes a good amount of stuff out of the air. Have tried a couple others and found this one to work better than the others. Easy access to filter also.

Ok, so have 3 of these for about 5 months now , the charcoal filter can be washed by hand dried and replaced , the inner filter has a thin liner over it that can be taken off after the first month or so to allow full use of the inner filter. This works well in a small room , however the only draw back was the Hight EMF radiation given off by the working motor, So this air cleaner should be placed at least 5 feet from beds to lower exposure. I have a large floor model filter (different company) that produces 1/4 the amount of EMF. Pros: Over all price was good and works well enough. Cons: High EMF output

The most delightful part is it uses the Holmes replaceable filters selections which include true HEPA 99.97%. Or 4 other levels of filtration. We use true HEPA during fire season because we get pollution readings of 399. And in winter we are happy with the 99% pollen allergy filters. We have many of these scattered around our house. They are true life savers during fire season where it is said 33% of pm2.5 particulate seeps in even a closed house. I like the optional on off switch for negative ions. A closed up house is a negative experience and the negative ions help restore a better mood. Thankful.
