Hamilton Beach TrueAir Room Odor Eliminator 04532GM review
- Low entry-level price.
- Compact and portable.
- Utilize 3 carbon filters that would neutralize odors and also capture minimal dust.
- Optional addon scent to enhance the room smell.
- Reasonable purifying coverage given its size.
- Not great in capturing smaller micron size particles.
- Not very effective against strong, chemical odors either.
- Replacement filter cost is cheap but if you multiple by 4, it will cost close to double of the air purifier price.
- Plain vanilla set with no added features.

^ Hamilton Beach TrueAir Room Odor Eliminator 04532GM filters/ technologies/ lifespan
Instead of masking the odors like most air freshener do, Hamilton Beach TrueAir Room Odor Eliminator 04532GM has a very simple filtration setup which consist of 3 smoke odor filters. The TrueAir filters would trap and neutralize odors from kitchen, tobacco smoke before releasing fresh air back out. Hamilton Beach TrueAir Room Odor Eliminator 04532GM TrueAir odor filters can also capture airborne dust but at an minimal tier. For a more focus effort against pesky pet odors, choose the optional filters upgrade instead. As a final touch, you can include pleasant fragrance such as Green Meadow scent via the optional scent cartridge. On odors, smokes and fumes, Hamilton Beach TrueAir Room Odor Eliminator 04532GM filtration is weak in tackling cooking odors, radon, ammonia chemicals, VOCs, tobacco and cigarette smokes.
Keep it down
Regardless of the speed selected, Hamilton Beach TrueAir Room Odor Eliminator 04532GM would quietly pull air to the filters without you noticing it. Great for all occasion from cooking, smoking and even night time. Power consumption is also very low which Hamilton Beach stated it will use less energy than a 15-watt light bulb. The above noise/ power output is similar with or without the optional scent cartridge add-on.At what cost

More on Hamilton Beach 04532GM
Extremely portable and compact in size, Hamilton Beach 04532GM boxy, plastic shaped body is unique in many ways. The weight is light as expected for its size even with all the filters added in. There are air vent surrounding the air purifier and a top manual knob located at the top. Overall the unit is solid but expect a slow airflow pace due to the small inlet/ outlet.
