Honeywell - True HEPA Console 465 Sq. Ft. Air Purifier - Black

so we've got this one and the smaller smarter bluetooth version. this one came with the filters included - our bluetooth one bought a while ago, apparently was supposed to have all the filters needed but didn't. this one was good to go from the get go. it isn't as noisy as we expected but we haven't used it on full out mode yet. it has fewer features but that isn't a problem for us. it is bigger - quite a lot bigger but seems to fit in the dimensions they stated. we got what we were expecting, it came promptly, it survived the shipping process so nothing to complain about. I don't give it 5 stars because I prefer the bluetooth version which is smaller, but this one was cheaper and less full featured and I got what i expected and I guess what we paid for

This was on sale for the Deal of the Day. I paid less than Two Hundred after taxes here in CA, which is no higher than I would pay for this unit. It does clean and filter the air amazingly well. The pre-filter is made with activated carbon, and it def helps get rid of some smell pretty well. It also helps preserve the hepa filters to make them last about a year. Yes, the hepa filters (3 of them) are VERY expensive to replace every year, but they really are worth it if you have an old home like mine without any central air system that filters the air inside your home. On other online websites that Best Buy will price match, you can get a three hepa filter pack for about $60. Not a bad deal for better health and a cleaner house.

This is my first air purifier. I did some research this one seemed the best for my needs. I'm using this for a room a little smaller than 465 sf and I run it on ALLERGEN all day and the lowest setting GERM at night. I run it on GENERAL CLEAN if I am light dusting, vacuuming, etc. and on TURBO when I'm doing heavy cleaning. I have noticed less dust, it's not completely gone, but I don't have more than I used to. The air seems fresher, it makes me a little sleepy which is a good sign that it is clean air. I want to get a smaller one for my bedroom, but Best Buy needs to come down more in price for the next size smaller HPA250 or get the HPA200 and offer for a decent price.

Just make sure to double check the dimensions of this monster; I was somewhat shocked when I came home from work and my husband had set it up. It’s a substantial black box that takes up a good amount of room. It’s actually hard to say whether it’s effective because there’s no air purification gauge. I guess I hope it’s working? Bought it during all the terrible northern CA fires a few weeks back. It’s quiet on low but sounds like a jet engine on turbo. Got a good deal but definitely wouldn’t pay the sticker price this week (about $100 more than I paid). Only wish there was some sort of lock on the buttons so my 2 year old would stop messing with it!

We did some research on this and it compared closely to the blueair purifiers that we already had and was on black Friday special, so thought we'd give it a chance. The knock on consumer reports was that it was noisy. The fan was loud on the high level and with the turbo. . . much more so than our blueair 211+. Couldn't really determine if it was as effective as it stopped working after about a half hour. Not certain we want to entertain a replacement, probably will return and go with another blueair for the downstairs.

My wife was having allergies due to pregnancy. and its a lot damper in the house. We have an American Eskimo. plus a yard. (pollen and damper). and she was having all day running nose and problem breathing a night. I bought it as a test and I worked fabulously, As soon she is stepping into the house all her symptoms disappear. Installed 6 hours before she came and I didn't tell her. (just to prove my point, she didn't want me to buy it... JAJAJA..)

I read the reviews about the smells, but thought for sure Honeywell would have fixed the issue. Why does the HPA give off a oil like smell? I have had the unit for 2 days and choke on the smell each night. I am going to let it run outside for a day and if it fixes it I will update my review. If the smell does not go away, the HPA300 will go away back to Best Buy.

I have had this on for 24 hours a day for several weeks. I was worried about noise, but it was a non-issue. I have it in my garage where it does great, but filters are going to need to be replaced much more frequently because of activity in the garage. We are considering another for the bedroom (what it was built for!)
