Works great,
The other reviews are very thorough. Just want to add a note that they are accurate.
We’ve had ours for a week now and it works great. Leaving it on low does a nice job of keeping our bedroom pure… well, the air at least…
Like someone else mentioned, the lights are rather bright on the control panel. We cover the top of the unit with the user manual at night to block the light.
One note for those comparing this one with the WH10400 model… the lower model does not have the auto-mode for the fan speed, does not have the fancy display, and it also does not have a remote. I almost bought the lesser model… but the auto mode pushed me over to buying this one. Its also interesting to see the display change color if the air quality is not great.
If you are looking to buy an air purifier, I would highly recommend this one.
UPDATE July 1, 2011 – purifier still works great… I’ve rinsed the foam dust filter on the back several times, that is the only maintenance so far.
The auto mode is great… if the air is clear the display is blue and the fan runs on low (very quiet). If we are doing something that stirs up dust (vacuuming, dusting, etc) then it will kick up to the yellow-orange color and the fan goes to setting 2. If you are really stirring up dirty air (like when I come in from mowing and take off my dusty shirt) then it turns red and the fan kicks to high (3).
It gets somewhat loud at settings 2 and 3, we usually keep at it 1 during the night. Sometimes if a neighbor (or a bat in our attic) is making noise we put it on level 2 just to create some white noise.
I’d recommend this as a great air purifier.

|Love It — Tossed my old Sharper Image Purifier in the Trash!,
I’ve been wanting another air purifier for a while now. I had several Sharper Image purifiers and one Rabbit Air. I still like the Rabbit Air but always wished it had a UV bulb inside. But my Sharper Image purifiers have been collecting dust and sitting unused ever since they started acting up — crackling, popping and making all sorts of annoying noises that no amount of cleaning can seem to remedy. Well, thanks to this Hoover, I finally got to toss out that old Sharper Image junk! I’m still using the Rabbit Air, but do consider this Hoover to be the better of the two.
Things that make you go DUH!
It wasn’t until I got this home that I realized this Hoover Purifier is the same brand as the vacuum people — DUH! Well, that little insight made me even happier about getting this unit. It’s only natural that the people who make some of the best vacuums are now making one of the best air purifiers I’ve tried. I guess now they’re in the business of vacuuming the air too!
I’ve done A LOT of research into air purifiers over the years. I have chronic respiratory problems including COPD, asthma and bronchitis. I use oxygen too, both at home and on the go, so breathing clean air is not only important to me, but critical to my well-being. And living in Los Angeles, I’m very aware of “good” air quality days and “bad.” It effects me constantly and I couldn’t get by without my air purifiers. And with my Sharper Image Purifiers acting up, this new Hoover arrived at just the right time for me!
Auto Feature – Set It & Forget It
One of the things I like best about this Hoover is the Auto Feature. The unit automatically detects the air quality, and adjusts the fan’s speed, accordingly. My Rabbit Air has this feature too, but doesn’t seem to be anywhere near as sensitive as this Hoover. I could be in the bathroom spraying on my deodorant, and the Hoover will detect the “pollution” from the next room and kick into high gear to clean the air. Cool! And even though I have respiratory problems, I do occasionally like to use smudge sticks and incense for cleansing purposes. Usually, I turn off my air purifiers when smudging, but as an experiment, I decided to leave the Hoover on and lit a smudge. It literally took no more than 15 seconds for it detect the “air pollution” and kick into high gear — and I watched as it literally sucked the smoke out of the air and got rid of it all in about 30 seconds! So all told, from lighting the smudge, back to clean air, was less than 1 minute. This Hoover REALLY SUCKS! And I mean that in the Best possible way!
Does NOT Create Ozone
Unlike the old Sharper Image purifiers, this Hoover does NOT create Ozone of any kind. Actually, even my Sharper Image purifiers were modified (by me with a pert provided by Sharper Image) to eliminate all ozone output. Those old reports by Consumer Reports are just that — old and out of date. The whole ozone/purifier issue has long since been addressed and remedied, with this Hoover being the latest product to offer ozone free ionization.
Additional Features
This Hoover also has an ionizer and something called a UV/TiO2 feature which is basically a UV bulb that kills airborne viruses and germs. Hospitals have been using UV bulbs for years, and they are highly effective at killing airborne contaminants. As I said, it’s a feature that is sorely lacking from my Rabbit Air, so I’m quite happy to have it on this Hoover.
LCD Control Panel
The display panel shows 3 different colors, depending on the air quality. Blue = Good; Yellow = Fair and Red = Poor. This color scheme is very easy to see from across the room, and gives a quick and easy to see visual gauge of the air quality. I think my only complaint is I’m not fond of the big, bright curved light that indicates if the UV bulb is on or off. It’s just a little too bright in a dark or dimly lit room. It’s no big deal; it’s just a personal pet peeve of mine. it seems every new piece of technology or electronics I get has a personality complex and wants its own big bright twinkling, blinking or glowing light on it to assert its own self-worth and importance. If we’re supposed to be more eco-friendly, then how about a few less bulbs on everything I buy??
Remote
I like the remote control because I can easily up the fan speed if I feel the need. Though honestly, the auto feature works so well, I may not use the remote much.
Bottom Line — this Hoover air purifier is a state of the art piece of equipment, and from a brand I know and trust. Some people might not think an air purifier is necessary, but use this for 1 month and then take a look at all the crap collected on the filter, and I bet you’ll think differently! This is the best air purifier I’ve personally tried and I…
