Hamilton Beach TrueAir Plug-Mount Odor Eliminator with Carbon Filter + Green Mountain Scent Cartridge, Common Household-Tobacco, Pet, Bathroom, Trash, On/Off Fan (04530GM)

So far I like the product. I was expecting it to be smaller than it is but it works. It comes with a fresh scent I really like. Not too loud and it comes with a meter to let you know when you need to replace the filter. I use this for a restroom and I'm happy with this purchase.

A little background: my husband and I live with two large-ish dogs in a one-bedroom basement apartment with no central air and baseboard heat, in the DC area, where winter means the windows and doors stay shut and we have ZERO air turnover until the spring temperatures bless us with the ability to open the apartment up. The whole thing is carpeted and let me tell you, by February or so, the apartment becomes impossible to keep smelling nice - there's just way too many bodies and way too little air circulation. I vacuum like a madwoman, bathe dogs, clean linens, you name it, all on a regular basis, but I'd had enough this year. I got tired of smelling dog.I saw the positive reviews for this unit and thought, shoot, for the price, I may as well give it a shot. It arrived - I assembled it and plugged it in out in the hallway, which is one of the worst offenders in the apartment (lots of traffic, narrow space, and nowhere near any source of fresh air). 15 minutes later and there was a NOTICEABLE difference! Apparently (and this was such a "duh" moment for me) activated carbon filters really are the way to go. I literally went right back on Amazon and bought two more and they've been running 24/7 since - one in the bedroom, one in the hallway, one in the living room. The difference is phenomenal. The filters are not cheap - I anticipate just spending $18/mo on the three-pack, keeping the units running constantly and considering it money well spent. I am so happy coming home now and not getting hit with a wave of stale dog air.On the practical side - the units are not small for plug-ins, but not intrusive by any means. They are designed well with the weight evenly distributed so they rest nicely against the wall and don't slip out even with our older outlets that have lost some of their 'grabbiness' over the years. They are easy to assemble (just unwrap the filter, fit it into the cover and snap the cover on). There's a little dye spot that gradually soaks an indicator strip to give you an idea of the remaining lifespan of the filter. They are audible when running, but not at all bothersome - it's very low-level white noise. They include a scent clip-on, but I found the scent unpleasant and chose not to use them; if I want a scent, I'll use a wax warmer.Honestly, I'm just really impressed with how well these little things work. We put one in each room, and now our poorly-ventilated apartment smells like the doors are open in the spring or fall, even in the middle of winter. 100% worth the cost!

I really appreciate this thing. It does help a lot with keeping the smell down especially the litter dust. But it's not 100% perfect. Not if they have really stinky poops then no it won't work. But overall it does a good job. I have 2 litter boxes in our laundry room and my master bedroom is right next to it. So if they go and stink it up or decide to have zoomies on the way out I will smell it.i still recommended to buy it and the noise, it's not loud at all. It sounds the way a small fan would. Really not that noticable more like background noise

I like the Hamilton Beach Trueair filter and it works, when the filter is full my red mark tell me to change the filter you see how much dust is in the home. I have been using this product for over 10 years and it work. Thank you Henriette

The media could not be loaded. These things are packaged very poorly. the plastic is very sharp and brittle. It almost looked like my unit was opened but it wasn't, the edges of the package just busted open. The product itself didn't show any signs of damage though. Upon plugging it in and turning it on, then fan spun but made a loud ticking noise. Very annoying! I tried to take it apart and fix it but there was no obvious issue with the fan blade hitting anything so there was nothing I could do to solve it. I immediately initiated a return/exchange. The second unit arrived almost a week later and the plastic packaging again looked bad. Thankfully this one did not have the ticking noise and worked fine. I another thing I hate about the packaging is the annoying red sticker that the manufacture puts on the front of the vent. It does not peel off easily, and leaves behind a lot of residue that is hard to clean off. (happened on both units). I think the product does work, or at least help reduce odors, but the manufacture really needs to revamp this product as little improvements would go a long way.

I love this thing. I have a very sensitive sense of smell, so standard fragranced air fresheners are a no-go for me. This removes funky smells (that I am also sensitive to) very well. I use it in the kitchen to reduce the smell of the garbage can and also the lingering smells after cooking. In the bathroom, for obvious reasons. And in my bedroom to help with pet smells and diaper changes/Diaper Genie funk.I highly recommend these fantastic devices.

I was little hesitant about getting this..after having it for 4 days I can tell a difference in my living room! My husband hasn’t been as plugged up as he normally is!

This filter truly has made it possible for me to comfortably keep cats in a small apartment. The litter box lives in the bathroom, and before using this air purifier I was scooping 2-3 times a day just to keep the smell bearable.Now, I could leave it un-scooped for 3-4 days at a time and still barely smell a thing. (I don’t do that, but I COULD). I’ve been interrogating guests to see if anyone else can smell anything, and so far it’s been flawless.I leave the purifier on 24/7. It’s been a little over a month of constant use so far and the little meter says I’m about 75% of the way to replacing the filter. I bought a sheet of replacement carbon filter that appears all but identical to the one that came with it, and I intend to just cut it to size when the time comes.The purifier makes a ~little~ noise, but it’s way quieter than the bathroom fan. Not at all noticeable from other rooms. I don’t use the scented stuff so I can’t speak to that part.Overall, huge fan.
