This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Holmes® Smart Air Purifier for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

This giveaway is CLOSED. The winner has been chosen! Comment #12.

When it comes to keeping the air in our home pure and clean, I have several things working against me. For one, I live in Austin, TX – one of the allergy capitals of the world. Two, I have a dog. Hello lovely pet dander. And three, we live in a world with airborne allergens and that’s just the way it is. How can you keep the air inside your home healthier for your family? With an air purifier (Isn’t my model cute?).

I recently teamed up with Holmes to test out the Holmes® Smart Air Purifier. I don’t often do just pure product reviews, but I have been so incredibly impressed with this product I had to tell you about it. I’ve heard about air purifiers and thought they sounded pretty cool, but not something I really needed. Until my husband started suffering from horrible allergies and asthma. Three sinus surgeries later and you can bet I’ll do anything I can to keep the air in our home as healthy for him as possible.

Setting Up Your Holmes Smart Air Purifier

Let’s start with how easy it was to set this up. In fact, I didn’t even set it up. The box arrived on my doorstep and my 15 and 11 year old sons set it up from start to finish. I was cooking dinner. Now if I can just get them to cook dinner while I sit on the couch with my feet up. Once step at a time right? To set up, you open the front cover and attach the two replaceable True HEPA Allergen-Remover filters.

Next, it’s time to download the WeMo app. Again, this was very self-explanatory on how to set it up and within minutes, we were running and operating our air purifier from my iPhone.

The WeMo app allows you to control your air purifier from any room of your home, using your smart device. The other night I was laying in bed scrolling through Pinterest and remembered I wanted to set a schedule for the air purifier. So I opened the app, set up a schedule and was good to go. You can turn it on and off, adjust settings and check air quality. The WeMo app will also alert you when it’s time to change the air filters and you just order them straight from your smart device. This, my friends, is your home + technology at its finest. 

But Does It Work?

Purifying the air in your home sounds great and all that jazz, but you want to know if it really works right? I can say without a doubt that I believe it does. I’ve not only noticed less dust on the surfaces of my furniture, but the air in our smells and feels cleaner. I usually have to dust every other day, but I went five days without having to dust my living room – which is filled with black furniture. When it’s dusty, me and every visitor in my home can tell. One of the downfalls of black furniture, but I still love decorating with it!

Here’s a handy dandy video I shot talking about the Holmes® Smart Air Purifier:

My “WeMoment” & A Giveaway

Being able to operate our air purifier from my device is a WeMoment for me. What’s a “WeMoment” you ask? It’s that feeling of relief in being able to use technology to manage your home. Whether you’re operating an air purifier, your crockpot or a number of other WeMo-enabled smart devices, combining technology and managing your home is amazing.

Speaking of amazing? How would you like the chance to win your very own Holmes® Smart Air Purifier with WeMo®? To enter, please comment via the comment section and tell me this: “What’s something in your home you would love to operate via your smart device, giving you your own little WeMoment?” For me, it would be my dishwasher because I ALWAYS seem to forget to start it until after I’m in bed.

  • The giveaway starts today (May 14, 2015) and ends May 29, 2015
  • You must be 18 years of age and reside in the United States to be eligible to win

    I would love to operate my thermostat via my smartphone. That would be great so I didn't have to constantly get out of bed or get up from the couch to change it..

    Is it too much to ask to push a button and have my laundry transfer itself? :).
  3. Carolyn Benson
    What a wonderful idea, my family has lots of allergies and this would be great for all of us
  4. Evie B.
    I'd love to control the thermostat with an app. It would make things so much easier and I could cool the house or heat it up even when we aren't home so it's perfect for when we return.
  5. Ann Fantom
    I wish I operate our thermostat via my smart phone so I change the temperature at home when I forget to turn down the thermostat
  6. Cynthia C

  9. Katie
    I would like to be able to operate my garage door. I always think I forget to close it!
  10. Nicole Dziedzic
    I would love for it to operate my window air conditioning unit in my bedroom.
  11. Andrea Clifton
    I am going to have to go with Dishwasher also. I am either in bed or at work when it pops in my head that I forgot to turn it on.
  12. Marty C.
    Diaper changer. Someone, please invent a smartphone diaper changing app!
  13. Christy Peeples DuBois
    Mine would be the alarm clock. I have it across the room so that I have to get up in the mornings to turn it off and I forget to set it until I've already laid down.
  14. Rebecca
    I'm sure my husband would love to turn on the coffee maker in the morning with his phone!
  15. kathy
    My coffee pot for sure I can't tell you how many times I forget to set it for my husband
  16. Christina Sparks
    I do not have a smart phone. But, I would like to work my thermostat if I had one.
  17. Deb C
    I would like to operate my slow cooker by wifi. I often get something ready to cook in it then realize I forgot to set it and turn it on.
  18. Jennifer Williams

    i would love to be able to control my thermostat with my smartphone
  21. Theresa Smith
    I would like to be able to operate the air conditioner in our bedroom with an app on my phone. We start out with it on at night but sometimes it gets too cold and then I have to get back up. My second choice would be our thermostat because we usually turn it down or off at night since everyone is in their bedrooms.
  22. Stephanie Larison
    I'd control the thermostat since we've starting to have hotter days around here.
  23. Laurie Emerson
    I would love to be able to operate my electric blanket and make it just the right amount of toasty when I am ready for bed,
  24. Lisa V.
    It would have to be my thermostat in the event of weather changing.

  27. tina d reynolds
    Its a tie between my coffee maker and the theromstat both would be nice to operate that way
  28. Carolyn Daley
    I would love to operate my thermostat through my smart phone because it would help save money and we would be able to turn the air down on our way home so the house is cooled off by the time we get there.
