Review on Holmes Small White True HEPA Air Purifier by Alvin Ng ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Im not particularly happy, but basically everything is fine.

Like most buyers who returned goods, I expected that the air in my apartment was polluted and needed to be cleaned. As soon as I turned on the device, I found out that my air was clean. Although . The apartment was being renovated, the door to the room was closed, but the dust still penetrated in large quantities, settled on all surfaces, including the walls and swirled in the air. In the morning stuffy nose and throat. I bought the device because I was tired of washing the apartment every day, and I thought that an air purifier would somehow help. But no. And in the sunlight, it was clear that the dust continues to freely float and circle. The next day, while it was clean and there was a day off for repairs, I decided to check the device in different rooms, including the kitchen. The result is almost the same everywhere. There are homemade flowers in the kitchen - apparently, it worked a little stronger for their smell, and the purity index rose to 020, but this is still an acceptable norm - even ideal air. Then, I lit a match. The device hummed like a vacuum cleaner after 30 seconds. Air pollution turned red and rose to something like 300. Within a minute or two, it returned to 020 again and dropped to zero within 20 minutes. So, 3 pluses and 2 minuses = 3 points. I don't know what this device is for. It is better to fight dust with a vacuum cleaner and mopping. It is possible that somewhere in Hong Kong or in houses near the industrial zone the air is really dirty, but if you live in an ecologically clean area, then there is simply no need for this device. Basically, it's a filter fan. That's how this air purifier works. Maybe it is useful in cases where you live in a one-room apartment and your roommate is sick. But, it is cheaper to wear a mask, wash your hands and refrain from kissing. And yet, every year you pay 3 thousand for filters . Too expensive for a fan. Bought from Online Trade. Return without problems. I feel that in a couple of years the fashion for this trinket will pass or they will improve

Pros
  • +Plug it in and it works. + Can be controlled from your phone + Triggered by a lit match
Cons
  • - Does not fight dust - Mopping floors is more effective for dust control - All the time shows that the air is in perfect order,
