EcoUsable Ech2o 25 oz Stainless Steel Filtered Bottle - Lavender Review

EcoUsable Ech2o 25 oz Stainless Steel Filtered Bottle - Lavender

I was so excited in anticipation when I ordered this item. However, it quickly failed to live up to my expectations.

First, the water that comes through the filter tastes worse coming out than it did when it went in! Sure, the chlorine smell is gone but the water tastes very salty or something. Also, it's very difficult to suck the water through the actual filter and nearly impossible for my small child. I wanted to stop carrying around plastic sports bottles all day and switch to this but not so fast. While it's a great idea it's another over-priced, over-hyped, disappointing paper weight that makes me feel foolish every time I look at it because I spent that much on a stupid water bottle!

Blueair Smokestop Filter for 402 Air Purifier Review

Blueair Smokestop Filter for 402 Air Purifier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
You're probably completely shocked that this Smokestop Filter costs as much as it does. But trust me, if you have any problems with odors, it's worth EVERY penny.

I normally use the regular Blueair filter for the 402, but I purchased the Smokestop after my neighborhood was flooded with horrible fumes from a nearby methane gas leak. The authorities deemed the gases as harmless, so no evacuations were ordered. However, being very sensitive to fumes of any kind, I became very ill. With no other place to go, I put the Smokestop filter into my 402 and moved the air cleaner into my smallest bedroom, where I camped out for the next couple of days. A trip to any other room of the house left me feeling nauseous, dizzy, with a raging headache and difficulty breathing within minutes (but the fumes were "harmless"!!). The room with the Blueair equipped with the Smokestop filter was absolutely free of odor. It was incredible.

Since not everyone has methane gas leaks permeating their homes (thankfully!), you may never get the chance to test the filter in this way. But it no doubt works wonders with cigarette smoke and other offensive odors that waft into your home.

The filter has 2 "chambers." One filled with activated charcoal, and the other with the familiar Blueair patented white filter. So it doesn't just stop with odors, it still cleans particles from the air with great efficiency, and best of all, Q-U-I-E-T-ly. Just remember to change it after 6 months, even if it means going back to the regular (and cheaper) filter. Happy breathing!

SEPT. 2008 ADDENDUM: I had another fume problem, this time, toxic deck sealant fumes from a home repair seeping into the house. I purchased another Smokestop filter and this time I noticed an odor coming from the filter itself. It's not horrible, but I had become so sensitive to odors after a week of sealant exposure that it made me feel sick. I left the Blueair on high and it has reduced the smell after a few days. To be fair, despite the filter smell, the deck sealant odor was neutralized. And finally, I have a balcony-smoking neighbor, and as soon as secondhand smoke wafts into my bedroom, I turn up the Blueair and the smoke odor is gone in a flash. Just be aware of the initial odor from the filter itself. I'd say I'm dropping my rating to 4 stars, or 3.8 if I could.

Blueair 400 Replacement Particle Filter for Model 402 Air Purifiers Review

Blueair 400 Replacement Particle Filter for Model 402 Air Purifiers
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was surprised and not happy when I first looked into air purifiersand found the one recommended most often --Blueair--used filters that cost about $50 and had to be replaced every 6 months.That was a few years ago. Since then, I have not begrudged one dime of what I have spent for replacement filters.I have pets that shed, I live in Manhattan on a street that has been worked on constantly, creating lots of airborne dirt, and my building was repointed a couple years ago, providing more of the same.And I have allergies.

But I sleep well every night and wake up without a stuffy nose. These filters work, and so does the purifier-- as well as the day I first turned it on. So far it has outlived both the clock radio and a tower fan.
