From the Manufacturer
The TrueAir Compact Air Purifier cleans and freshens the air in 3 ways:
1. The permanent pre-filter traps pet hair and large particles
2. Two replaceable carbon zeolite filters eliminate pet odors
3. A permanent 99% HEPA-grade filter captures smaller particles. This filter simply vacuums clean for minimal upkeep.
Simply vacuum the HEPA-grade filter for minimal upkeep. The two carbon zeolite odor-eliminating filters should be replaced every 3 months. As a convenient reminder, a timestrip cartridge counts down the 3 months and indicates when it is time to replace.

Full review:
I needed an air cleaner for my office to help get rid of the smell of smoke (been cutting back, but still can't kick the habit). I've been using a Holmes air cleaner than helps, but the office is big enough than a second one was needed.
I saw this and the Hamilton Beach 04383 True Air Allergen-Reducing Air Cleaner and could not determine from looking at them what the difference was (other than a price difference). After doing some research on the Hamilton Beach web site it appears they are exactly the same except that the Pet model has the ability to use a replaceable carbon filter in front of the HEPA filter.
The unit itself is nicely designed, and I very much like that it can be used either upright or on its side. It comes with a base plate if you want to use it upright. The plate comes off easily (no tools) so you can position it on its side. It includes 4 non-slip foot pads to keep it stable when it is sitting on its side.
The unit looks very nice. It has a three speed fan. On the lowest speed I can't hear it at all. Granted, it's not moving much air either. The mid speed is still soft enough that I can keep it close to my desk and not have the sound be irritating or interfere with a phone call. At the high speed it is still quiet enough that I can have a conversation next to it without any problem, but the sound is grating to have in the background constantly.
The main filter is what Hamilton Beach terms "HEPA-grade." That often means that it is not a true HEPA filter, so it won't pull out the really small stuff out of the air. But it appears up to the task of basic air cleaning.
Hamilton Beach boasts that the HEPA filter is "permanent." While you can extend the life of the filter by vacuuming it, nothing is permanent. It will need to be replaced eventually, especially if you're using the cleaner for odor control as I am.
It also has a very thin prefilter than can be cleaned. The only purpose of the prefilter is to trap the real big chunks, such as visible dust from a litter pan.
The carbon filters go on top of the HEPA filter. Each is about half the length of the HEPA filter, and are held in place with snap-in plastic bars. You need 2 carbon filters per use. It comes with 2 and the cost of replacements is not too bad - about $12 for a pack of 3. Remember, you need 2 filters, so a 3 pack will only last 1.5 changes. They claim the carbon filter will last for 90 days. They offer standard carbon filters, pet carbon filters, and smoke-eater carbon filters. (I'll take the cynical view and assume that there really isn't any significant difference between them other than how they are marketed.) You can also buy generic carbon filters (search on Amazon for Universal Carbon Filters) and cut them to size to save even more on the filter cost. The quality of the generics can be hit or miss, however.
It comes with a rather novel way to remember to change the carbon filter. It's easy to use but hard to explain - there's a disk that you press, and it creates a red line that slowly expands over the course of 3 months. So, when the red line is full, it's time to replace the filter. I've not had this for 3 months so I can't speak to how accurate a time keeper the red line is, but it's a nice idea.
So, does it work well? I think so. It has cut down the smoke smell. Not completely, but it's doing a better job than other air cleaners I've used, some of which cost a lot more. Now, its intended task is for pet smells. If it can handle smoke, it certainly can put a dent in kitty litter odor (as a multi-cat household, I know first-hand what that can be like as well). Plus, the fan noise at the low speed is so soft that it certainly would not bother a cat even if the air cleaner was placed right next to the litter box. The mid speed might bother some cats, but only if it was right next to their box.
While this is not a hospital-grade air cleaner it is an effective way to drop the smell level down affordably and quietly, plus get rid of dust and some pollen/allergens. I'll give it 5 stars based on it's price-performance level and the fact that replacement filters don't cost an arm and a leg.
As I was searching through Amazon for the perfect air cleaner, I was looking for one in about the $50 range (after all, I had never even used an air cleaner before) for a medium-sized bedroom, that had a permanent filter. I was drawn to this Hamilton Beach model because of the price, the permanent filter, its light weight, and its quiet settings. I have been using this unit for four days now, and I am very impressed with it.
-It is extremely light - I move it around our bedroom every few days to make sure it is reaching all of the air. It is also small and does not take up a lot of space.
-In my opinion, it is very quiet. In fact, on the Whisper Clean setting, it is actually so quiet that I have checked a few times to make sure that it is on. The medium setting sounds like a fan set on low/medium, and the Quick Clean (high) setting sounds like a fan set on high. None of the settings are louder than the TV. We usually sleep with the air cleaner either on medium or Quick Clean - but my partner and I enjoy sleeping with the fan on in the summer, so it is similar.
-It also works as a fan. The filter blows a lot of clean air out, which can be cold. I didn't expect this at first, but now I like it a lot.
-The air feels a lot cleaner. My allergies seem to be significantly less since we started using this. I can breathe a lot easier. After three days, I opened the cleaner and looked at the filter - I was amazed at how much it had already caught in just a few days! By the way, we also bought the FURminator Short Hair deShedding Tool for Large Cats to remove any excess/loose hair from my cat. I think the regular use of the Furminator is also helping my allergies a lot!
-We can no longer smell the cat's litter box. WHAT??! This is definitely the best surprise. The cat's litter box is in the bathroom attached to our bedroom, about 10-15 feet away from where we keep the air cleaner. We have not smelled the cat's litter box at all since turning this on, which makes buying this worth it just for that reason alone.
When I first turned the air cleaner on, I was concerned that it was not working properly because air was only coming out of the back left air vent, not the back right. In case anyone else has noticed this, I contacted Hamilton Beach, and this is the response they sent me:
The model 04383 only has a vent on the left hand side, the slats on the right hand side are not open, they are there for aesthetics and symmetry.
So, no worries - everything is working as it should! I highly recommend this product and I will either buy more of this exact same model or buy a larger version for my living room.
Top reviews from other countries
Big bonus that this unit uses filters than can be reused. That saves a lot of money. Eventually, filter will need replacing but not nearly as often as others that are expensive.
Quiet mode is exactly that. Quiet. I held a kleenex up to the unit and it did draw it towards the unit and held it. So even at slowest speed there is air movement through the filter and will grab particles. I run it 24/7 as the room is filled with collectibles I do not want to have to dust regularly.
I found 2 replacement filters for $25 as opposed to others almost $40 each. The filters are exactly the same as the originals. I bought them to have when ready to eventually replace the originals as they were super cheap at $25 for 2 and will need them sooner or later. Currently they are up to $50 but keep looking for price fluctuations. These are the ones I ordered
"EZ SPARES 2pcs Replacements for Hamilton Beach True Air Purifier 04383 04384 04385 04386 Part # 990051000 Air Filter Hepa Attachment "
The original and the 2 extra filters I now have should last a few years. Instead of buying expensive filters every few months for other types of air purifiers that dont use re-usable filters.
Hopefully the motor running 24/7 will lasts
