Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Holmes HAP75-UC Smokeless Ashtray
Customer Review: Holmes-horrible company
Summary: 1 Stars
This review is not much about the product as it is about company Holmes. I ordered this ashtray directly from the Holmes company and it's been a week and a half and still no ashtray - they did NOT even ship the thing yet!!! I will be moving out of country in couple days and will not receive the item in time. I tried to cancel the order and they say it's NOT possible (the order is still in processing,why can they not cancel it? Every other company can!!). Horrible company-do not order from them unless you have forever to receive the item. Not only it takes them forever to ship the item you do NOT have the option to cancel it? What kind of bussiness is that? I order thru internet a lot and I NEVER had this issue. Every other company on the internet ships within couple days and you are able to cancel the order, but HOLMES? NO! Very unhappy with the ridiculous Holmes company.Customer Review: It was a good idea.
Summary: 3 Stars
I got mine. Just as I suspected I ended up not using it. The tray is small and you really had to pay attention to when you put your cigarette in. It only filter smoke if the cigarette was in the try. I knew this already but bought it anyway. I found myself trying to blow smoke out my mouth into the unit but just ended up blowing ashes everywhere. I dumped ashes everywhere everytime I tried to empty it because you need to 'snap' the tray out of there. I had to turn up my TV because it is so loud.
It was more of a hassle than anything. It felt ackward and I smoke to relax, not to have some gadget stress me out. I think I'll buy an actual air filter.
Customer Review: Loud, awkward, and shallow
Summary: 1 Stars
In a nutshell, you can cross this one off the list if the following issues are things that will bother you:
*It is extremely noisy.
*The tray is very shallow - I had trouble with tumbling cigs and ashes. Also, unless you empty it after two or three cigs, it is over-full, so that when you extract the tray to empty it, butts and ashes leak into the workings underneath.
*The lid, which hovers over the tray, is in the way. I kept hitting it with my hand or the cig.
In short, this ashtray is poorly designed and loud. I threw it away.
Customer Review: it works - I found a trick
Summary: 4 Stars
I have owned this for about 3 weeks - it works well but you have to keep the filters clean and they are expensive (around $8.00 for two filters) So I got vent filters at Lowes (they are very thin and white-the brand is WEB Vent Filters) They cost about 4.00 dollars I cut them into small squares using the original filters that came with the unit as a templete and they work perfectly ! You can cut 12 small squares per sheet and there are 12 sheets in the package.So you can see this is a rather inexpensive replacement. I love it when a plan comes together !!Customer Review: Best I have found yet

I have tried many different ashtrays that claim to draw smoke out of the house but, they just don't have the power to do as claimed. This one does. I am trying to quit smoking but, as of yet have only cut down a whole lot. In the winter it is going to be hard to go out in the cold to smoke and I don't want my house to smell again. This is going to help alot. I have smoked one cig. using this in the house and the family never knew I smoked one. lolol Not a laughing matter but, atleast my house can not tell everyone if I do smoke one. Finally.
