Holmes HEPA-Type Air Purifier Review

When it comes to small home air purifiers, they really don't come any smaller than this. Resembling more of a fan heater than a home air cleaner, the Holmes HEPA-Type Air Purifier is ideal for small spaces where you need clean, pure air. Places such as a small bedroom, wardrobe, attic, or home office would benefit greatly from such a machine.

We stripped the Holmes HEPA-Type Air Purifier back to reveal what was under the covers, and we also put it to the test in a number of difficult scenarios. Here are the results.

Holmes HEPA-Type Air Purifier Specifications & Features

Filtration Functions
The first stage of filtration on the Holmes HEPA-Type Air Purifier is a HEPA filter, which eliminates and traps over 99% of all particles which are currently blowing around in the air. Breathing these particles in, such as dust mites, pollen, and animal dander - have all been scientifically proven to cause allergies, and annoying symptoms such as a runny nose, itchy eyes, and sneezing.

After the HEPA filter, the air passes through a carbon filtration stage, which works on a micro level to rid the air of smoke residue, and tiny chemical particles - which again can cause the symptoms above.

Finally, an ionizer gives the air a fresh smell and feeling, and helps to indirectly eliminate dust by making it stick to household surfaces - instead of floating freely around.
