Beating Indoor Air Pollution with Febreze Air Purifier Review
This season our Canadian winter has been very up and down, the beginning of November we got a huge snow fall which left over 2 feet of snow on the ground in less than 24 hours. We thought winter was coming in like a Lion, except it melted and since we have had up and down temperatures since. We are spending more time indoors because the ground is wet rather than white and this means we need to take all precautions to keep our families safe from indoor pollution’s.
Did you know? Air inside our houses can be 2-5 times more polluted than the outdoor air. This could be the lingering reason for so many homes fighting a constant cold this season.
When I was asked to review the Febreze Air Purifier I thought this would be a great addition to the hub of our house. I placed it in the Kitchen and turned it on, for days, weeks I ran it. However I wasn’t noticing a difference in the air quality. The main floor of our house was far too big for the FHT170W Tabletop Febreze Air Purifier. Since the kids all have VICKS Starry Night Cool Mist Humidifier I figured placing it in our master bedroom would be the next room to benefit from an air purifier.
The results I noticed were quickly achieved; the air difference in our master bedroom was noticeably different and smelt fresh. I didn’t notice a difference in the air quality when the Febreze Air Purifier was placed in the hub of our home but I sure did now.
FHT170W Tabletop Febreze Air Purifier Review
Febreze Air Purifiers provide powerful air cleaning and odour elimination which will leave you and your family breathing cleaner air with each breath. Plus it is created in an appealing sleek design that fits any home décor, Febreze Air Purifiers use a HEPA-type filter to capture up to 99 per cent of airborne pollutants and allergens. The purifier not only captures dust, smoke, pollen and pet hair but also releases Febreze freshness into the air. Although you can control the scent intensity I did find the scent to be very weak even on the highest setting, which is where I keep my dial.
Here are some quick features of the Febreze Air Purifier:
- Combats the stale air in a home and releases a fresh Febreze scent in the air
- Uses a HEPA-type filer to capture 99% of airborne pollutants
- Has been designed to fit any home décor
- Febreze freshness scent control dial allows control of scent intensity
- Three air cleaning levels to provide the right purification
- Includes an electronic filter and scent replacement indicators to ensure a clean and fresh smelling home at all time • Replacement filters available
- Sleek design – great for floor or tabletop
- 3 year limited warranty
- CADR Rooms Size: up to 85sq.ft.
Do you have a room in your home where the smell of cooking lingers too?
We do and it happens to be my master bedroom :S. Typically, I crack the window a few hours before bed to freshen the air but of course during our cold Canadian winters at the same time I freeze our room out. Which can be good for late night snuggles but also just makes an uncomfortable sleep, especially when the temperature dips below 0.
Since placing the FHT170W Tabletop Febreze Air Purifier in our room I haven’t cracked the window once, I turn it on after dinner and it eliminates all the food odors by the time it is time to rest our heads.
Our Febreze Air Purifier has become a part of our daily routine now and I couldn’t imagine my master bedroom without the addition. Not only does it smell fresher with the help of Febreze it also is noticeably cleaner with each breath. The fact we haven’t been sick this season is another indicator that we have something working.
What keeps your home’s air fresh?

Thank you for reading In R Dream!
I find the air in my house gets stale when we close everything up for winter. An air purifyer may be on my christmas list!
Seriously, this has made a huge difference in the air of our home.
I hope Santa is good to you.
Oh wow.. I didn’t even know that Febreze had ventured into this sort of thing! I really like the sounds of the machine..
The most important feature for us is that this purifier uses a HEPA-type filer to capture 99% of airborne pollutants. Sounds like a great machine.
This would be great in the living room of my flat. I love that it is febreze and affordable.
