Rating: Recommend
We've posted about air purifiers before, but we'd never actually owned one. We were always curious about them, because friends of ours have told some pretty amazing stories. Still, we were skeptical. Recently, however, one friend's allergy success story sent us to our local Target to pick up our very own Holmes True-HEPA Allergen Remover...
So this friend of ours, she was suffering from terrible cat-allergies (the throat-closing up kind). When she started dating a cat-lover, she bought a Holmes True-HEPA Allergen Remover from Target. How'd she choose it? It was on sale.
Almost magically, she was cured. There was still a little stuffy nose, but she could breathe free and clear.
We haven't seen such drastic results, but there has been a significant improvement in our nighttime and morning allergies. We run the allergen remover in the evenings and through the night. We both have noticed an improvement in the air in our bedroom — it honestly feels fresher.
Has anyone else out there tried this particular air purifier? What are your thoughts?

I have the smaller version of this, also picked up at Target, also on sale, also use it in my bedroom at night, and it works great!
It's not super quiet (if that's a concern), but I usually fall asleep to a fan anyhow.

My aunt recommended this air purifier and it really does help a lot. She has crazy animal allergies and works at an animal hospital and has many cats, dogs, and birds that she lives with at home.
I only have two cats and just as allergic, but it really helps make the air easier to breathe at night. We have it running for most of the day and turn it off when there is no one home. It's a great purifier.
