Sunpentown SD-350TI Mini Dehumidifier with UV Light and TiO2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought two mini dehumidifier at once, this one and the Eva-dry EDV-1100 Electric Petite Dehumidifier.Hands down, the Eva-dry out performs this!They are about 7' apart, but yet the Eva dry can pull out about 8oz of water every 3 days, compared to the 2 tblsp or so this device does.

However, this device is much quieter than the Eva-dry.

As for the UV light, is it really necessary?Better yet...does it really even work?I wouldnt know....

Shipping was prompt from the company.

Product Description:
Easily remove excess moisture from the air with this mini dehumidifier. The unit not only helps allergy sufferers breathe easier, it also helps prevent problems often caused by excess humidity--peeling paint, damaged wood, and mold growth. The dehumidifier uses Peltier (thermo-electric) technology, which means whisper-quiet operation with no noisy compressor, vibration, or refrigerant to deal with. Water collects in the 2-liter transparent water tank, and the unit automatically switches off when the water tank needs to be emptied. Even more, it comes equipped with UV light and TiO2 mesh, which work together to eliminate germs and bacteria. The unit's compact size makes it a nice choice for in a nursery, small bedroom, closet, cupboard, or under a sink. Other highlights include "power" and "full tank" indicator lights, a life span of approximately 8,000 hours for the UV light, a washable filter, a 12-volt DC adaptor (UL listed), and a convenient carrying handle for simple transport. The 60-watt mini dehumidifier weighs about 3-1/2 pounds and measures 5 by 8 by 13 inches.

LightAir IonFlow 50 Style Air Purifier Review

LightAir IonFlow 50 Style Air Purifier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The LightAir IonFlow 50S Air Purifier is that rarest of finds; a product that is everything it claims to be and more. I have tried many air purifiers over the years with various results. I noticed over time that they fell into one of the following categories:
1. Essentially worthless- unable to do its job. Usually because of a poor design or by being underpowered.
2. Disposable- Quite a few air purifiers would be fine for a while and then lose effectiveness or stop working completely (usually within the 1st year of ownership). Typically the craftsmanship would be poor and the materials used would be cheap. Customer service would be a joke as well, so trying to fix one of these was a nightmare.
3. Overpriced- Very common category. The advertising would promise the moon, but the reality was that you were paying an extremely high price for mediocrity. Typically includes an ongoing cost for filters as well.
4. Esthetically Deficient- I mean seriously loud, ugly, huge, heavy, dirty, a hassle to clean, or all of the above.

I wish I had the patience to actually categorize each of the air purifiers I have tried so that you would stay away from them, but the best I can do is to say that the ONLY air purifier that I have ever owned that has done its job exactly as advertised while remaining totally silent, is easy to clean, has nothing to periodically replace and is actually stylish enough that many find it attractive is this one right here: the LightAir IonFlow 50S. Now that I have found it and put it to the test, there is no other air purifier that I would own. Period. It's in a category all by itself....Pound for Pound the Best Air Purifier on the market today.

Airfree Onix 3000 Mobile Home Air Purifier Sanitizer Unit System Review

Airfree Onix 3000 Mobile Home Air Purifier Sanitizer Unit System
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Having recently been diagnosed with asthma I was anxious to find a good air purifier for my bedroom.I opted for the Airfree Onix 3000 because it was not only rated highly but, amazingly, required no maintenance.Within a matter of hours after plugging it in I noticed that the air smelled a lot fresher and the first morning after having the purifier in my room I woke up with almost no congestion in my nose (a first!)so it must be doing a good job of getting rid of the allergens.The best part is that because I am a light sleeper it's wonderful to have a purifier that is totally silent. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about the anti-stress light but it's kind of a pretty so I may just leave it on.It's too early to comment on this product's longevity but I am extremely happy with it so far.So happy, in fact, that I am ordering 2 more for other parts of our house.

Product Description:
The most tested air purifier. Airfrees exclusive patented Thermodynamic Sterilizing System (TSS) technology has been independently tested in real life working environments by world renowned institutions and ISO 17025 laboratories in six different countries including the USA, Sweden and Germany. These tests prove that Airfree totally destroys up to 99.99 per cent microorganisms that pass through its patented TSS no matter how small or hazardous they might be. Airfree emits no ozone (considered an asthma trigger by the EPA). Airfree TSS technology generates no dangerous emission, NO ions, NO UV Light and NO ozone. In fact, independent tests in laboratories in Sweden demonstrate that Airfree actually reduces ozone by 26 per cent. Be aware that some manufacturers claim that their products generate ozone within the limit established by EPA of 0.05 ppm. Nevertheless, EPA warns that these devices are not guaranteed to maintain their ozone emissions within such level. However, it is important to note that the 0.05 ppm concentration limit is for an 8 hour exposure period and that air purifiers are used 24 hours a day, which may exceed that limit. Would you be comfortable having your family and yourself breathing such poisonous gas? No need to change dirty contaminated filters nor to clean dirty blades. For allergic people, contact with infected materials can be very harmful, possibly resulting in a severe allergic reaction. Airfree

Sanyo ABC-VW24 Air Washer Air Purification System with Electrolyzed Water Technology Review

Sanyo ABC-VW24 Air Washer Air Purification System with Electrolyzed Water Technology

The thing I like best about the Sanyo Air Washer Purification System (besides that it does a great job of purifying the air) is that it has a nice sleek look to it and doesn't detract from the room decor.It has a handle built into the top, making it easy to carry (15.9 lbs.) and it's pretty quiet as air purifiers go.It has a 4-stage HEPA filter removes 99.97% of airborne particles and allergens. The other thing I really like is that the filters can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner and are supposed to last for about 4 years.(You'd want to use a HEPA vacuum cleaner or you'd defeat the purpose.) I called customer service to ask about the price of replacement filters and they told me the suggested retail price is $69.That's pretty much in line with other filters I've researched.The customer service people were very helpful in answering questions about the unit which I count as a big plus.

I don't know if the electrolyzed water technology is just a gimmick or not, but the unit does a good job of cleaning the air and removing odors from any room that I place it in. There are several articles on the internet about electrolyzed water technology and electrolyzed water being used to sanitize water and possibly use it to kill bacteria in a number of applications including using it as a non-toxic way to clean fruits and vegetables in the food industry.It would make sense that it could be useful to kill bacteria and viruses in the air.With pets and all their dander, not to mention all the pollen and dust in the air this time of year, it gets a real workout around here.I hope that we find that we have fewer colds in the winter.

Just a few details that I didn't include in the video:I measured the watts that the unit takes at the low, medium and high speeds with a P3 International P4400 Kill A Watt Electricity Usage Monitor device.At low speed it uses 4 - 8 watts (the higher number when it's emitting the electrolyzed water.You'll see that in the video.), on medium 13 - 17 watts, on high 57 - 63 watts, and if you use the "power" setting, 63 - 65 watts.This compares favorably with other air cleaners that I've used in the past or use now and it seems to work more quickly at removing odors.

BTW, another reviewer had mentioned that the "Device contains a chemical known to the state of Caifornia to cause cancer, birth defects, etc."Living in California I'm used to seeing these warnings on just about every piece of electrical equipment I buy due to the "Prop 65" laws here.Nonetheless, when I called Sanyo, I asked about this warning and what part of the unit had the chemical.As I expected it is the lead in the electrical cord connection, the same as my computer.When handling electrical cords it's always a good idea to wash your hands afterward.

I hope the video is useful.It's difficult to tell from a small photo what the unit looks like and I wanted you to have a better idea of how it worked and what it sounds like.

Product Description:
Sanyo's new Air Washer air purification system suppresses airborne bacteria and germs utilizing an exclusive electrolyzed water technology, removes dust and allergens, reduces pollen and neutralizes odors. Sanyo's electrolyzed water technology has been tested and proven effective in suppressing airborne germs, bacteria, odors, allergens and mold through third party certification institutions including RTI. In addition, electrolyzed water has proven effective in significantly reducing the level of viable airborne germs and bacteria, according to an independent research institution in the United States. Simply add tap water to the water container and the chlorine ions in the tap water are molecularly split through an electrolysis process in the unit into electrolyzed water. The electrolyzed water attacks the protein spikes in bacteria and inactivates the spikes so they are unable to attach to human cells. The units' 3 directional (upward, leftward, rightward stream) airflow emits the purified air and extremely fine electrolyzed water mist to quickly clean the air throughout the room. A High Performance 4-stage HEPA filter removes 99.97% of airborne particles and allergens, reduces airborne pollens with allergy blocking filter and fights common odors including pet dander and tobacco smoke. The sleek design is simple to operate, has an automatic timer function and filter replacement indicator.
