Product Information

We also did not like that the HoMedics Professional air purifier does not have any carbon filtration for removing odour, gas and chemical pollution (such as from cigarette smoke for example) from the air. We are therefore also uncomfortable that the manufacturer is marketing the HoMedics Professional HEPA air purifier AR-10A-GB as being good for removing second-hand smoke – as it will not be. You’ll have to replace filters regularly and clean your machine from time to time. When you’re considering the type of air purifier to get, think about the filters you’ll have to use with it and the ease of replacing them. Now, the part you are interested in. Did it work? In short, Yes. After taking it out of the box and blasting it on 3 for a few hours, I felt better already. I let it run in our bedroom all night, and woke up on Monday with a negligible amount of bile in my throat where there was previously a canyon of snot. It was clearly having an effect. My breathing had improved, and I could even 'taste' the air being a little cleaner and without the taste of dog I have become accustomed to.

Many air purifiers advertise quiet operation as one of their best features, and it’s no surprise why. You probably don’t want a loud air purifier running constantly, especially if it’s in your bedroom or the living room. The manufacturer states that the HoMedics Professional HEPA air purifier is a HEPA air purifier as it uses a “HEPA” filter as its main filter - even calling the unit “HoMedics Professional HEPA air purifier”. However, a true HEPA filter retains 99.97% of airborne particles at 0.3 microns. HoMedics, however, admits that their air cleaner has only a 99% filtration efficiency. Therefore, the filter of the HoMedics air purifier is either only a HEPA-type filter (so not an actual HEPA filter) or alternatively the air purifier is not leakage free. Either way, we find it very misleading that they have the words “Professional HEPA air purifier” in the title when the unit – by the manufacturers own admission, does not give a HEPA performance. Energy Star: a label indicating up to 40 percent better efficiency than non-approved air purifiers.

The manufacturer markets the unit to be a “super quiet operation for bedrooms” and boasts an “ultra slim design”[3]. The manufacturer also claims that the “cleanable HEPA filter will last 5x longer than conventional filters” if the filter is vacuumed every month[4]. The main reason for me buying it, was due to the virus. I keep it on the windows sill, so draw clean outside air, and let get purified through the filter. I have people walking outside my windows and children playing outside, so I wanted to make sure, when I leave the window open, it does not blow someones sneeze, cough or micro-droplets which get carried in the window into my home.

After a few days I can say for certain it has helped significantly. I still have a slight irritation in my throat some mornings, but nowhere near the full blown illness which forced me to diet on "beechams cold and flu" tablets for a fortnight.
