This allergen reducer does the job well, it is effective in capturing dust, dust mite debris, mold, pollen, smoke and pet dander. However, consumers who purchased this unit were complaining about the loud noise it produces when the setting is switched to high.
Hamilton Beach TrueAir 04381 Allergen Reducer Air Cleaner uses a replaceable filter that needs to be replaced at least 3 times a year. While the cost of the replacement filters is not that expensive, some customers are still unhappy about it. Well, it is understandable to think that there are other brands that use washable and recyclable filters.
This unit may be affordable but this will surely cost you additional expenses for the replacement filters every now and then. What makes the situation worse is that the replacements filters are now discontinued. Customers are having a hard time finding these replacements filters in different stores. The customer service of Hamilton Beach was pretty useless as they do not have an explanation for the filter shortage.
