Compact, Lightweight, Smart Decor Designs – Hamilton Beach Air Purifiers

Hamilton Beach air purifiers asold under the TrueAir brand name come in two sleek models: the 04163B and the 04161. The former is suitable for an air purifying coverage area of up to 350 square feet and is available in an unconventional black color, while the latter is perfect for a 200 sq ft room. Both TrueAir purifiers deliver clean air through 3 filtration stages which include a charcoal pre-filter, a HEPA-type filter and also an ultraviolet light for germicidal effects.

TrueAir Air Purifier Features

The carbon pre-filter works well in reducing odors and large dust particles in the air, whilst the HEPA filter provides filtration for smaller particles.
Additionally, the optional UV light can be turned on to kill mold and bacteria that are airborne in the air you breathe.
The downside to having three different filters is the need to replace them at different times of the year. In order to make up for this, Hamilton Beach purifiers are accompanied with a Filter Check that performs checks on the air filter conditions automatically.
Apart from that, TrueAir air purifiers are relatively light, weighing at only 12 lbs and standing only 18 inches. This size and weight makes this Hamilton Beach Air Purifiers easily movable between the rooms in your house.
Its neutral colors and six feet long power cord lets you place it at any strategic corner of the room without clashing with the interior decor.

Air Smart Sensor

Multiple user reviews have applauded the Air Smart Sensor which comes with each Hamilton Beach air purifier. This sensor works by analyzing the surrounding air composition and delivering the information to a display panel that rates the quality of the air. Based on the indicator, users can then choose between the three different fan speeds to purify the air in the room: Whisper Clean (good), Medium (fair) and Quick Clean (bad air quality). If users find the Quick Clean noise annoying, they should then leave the Quick Clean mode on for a couple of heavy-duty air purifying hours, and then switch to either one of the two slower speeds to maintain air quality.

Breathe Clean Air Anywhere With A Portable Air Purifier

In recent times, indoor air quality has deteriorated and is a major cause for emerging health problems. Health problems such as asthma and hay fever are more and more prevalent these days as a direct consequence of poor indoor air quality. Environmental agencies have even warned that indoor air quality is usually 2 to 10 times worse than outdoor pollution. As a result, portable air purifiers have been introduced and are increasingly used in cars, homes, and offices to elevate air quality. Some portable purifiers include the Hamilton Beach 04163, TrueAir HEPA Air Purifier, Ionic Pro Ionic Air Purifier, and Sharp FP-N60CX Plasma Cluster Air Purifier.

Basically, all air purifiers function by trapping smoke, pollen, dust, animal dander, dust mites, mold spores, chemical fumes, bacteria, viruses, and odours within the filters, thereby cleaning the air. Some portable air purifiers are even equipped with UV germicidal light to kill microorganisms in the air. Usually, there are three or four fan speeds to circulate air through the air purifier to be filtered and purified, depending on the level of air quality. A number of air purifiers have sensors that adjust the fan speed automatically by detecting the amount of particles trapped in the filters. In addition, some special air purifiers even have timers that can be set up to eight hours in total.

Generally, the filters are easily cleaned. Most of the time, the filter may just be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner or hand washed with the cleaning process repeated once every six to eight months. However, for portable air purifiers that are used in automatic mode 24 hours a day, then the filter may need to be cleaned more regularly, probably once every two to three months with lukewarm water solution combined with mild detergent.

In summary, ‘Prevention is better than cure’. Get a portable air purifier for yourself and avoid the risk of getting respiratory health problems linked to low indoor air quality!
