We tried 3 of these Holmes models from Target --- each one loud and squeaky. Also, 2 out of the 3 seemed to look refurbished or used. We tried one of the Bionaire models that is made by the same manufacturer. Loud and this time LEAKY -- the canister leaked all over the floor. Took this model back to Bed, Bath & Beyond to find out that these models are on recall by the manufacturer. We loved the idea of the tower design with the remote control, but this design is still very flawed.
