Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought two of these units when I moved into this house 6/1/10. The plan was to keep one in the living room, one in the bedroom, because I smoke in my house. I changed my mind and put the bedroom unit in the living room, because I do not smoke in the bedroom. I do keep them both in the living room now, running on high, because that is where I smoke. When I leave for work, I shut one of them off and turn it back on when I come home. When I go to bed, I shut the other one off for the night, power it back up in the morning. This system works very well for me, and I am not the least bit sorry I invested the money in them that I did when I bought them. I only wish they had both been assembled at the factory by the same person. : / This unit has two permanent hard filters inside, and another filter that covers those. The outer filter is like the ones you find in window a/c units, and can be vacuumed/hand washed. I usually vacuum these about every two weeks, as they become so covered in dust that it's quite visible from the outside. That's a lot of dust I'm not breathing! The internal filters are a bit more of a pain to clean, but by no means unreasonable. Just pop them out, soak them in some warm/hot water with a few drops of dish soap for a minute or so, then swish them around. I do this about once every 6-8 weeks or so, and within seconds of dropping them into the sink the water turns yuck yellow. That would be the nicotine from my smoking. I swish them, and pick them up and press them back into the water repeatedly, to force the water through the fins. The cleaning part is really easy, a ten year old can do it with ease. Then a very thorough rinse, and let them air dry. That's the biggest pain right there. The dry time takes quite awhile. That's why I do one at a time - I continue to run one unit while the other's filters are drying. BIGGEST COMPLAINT: These are oscillating units. One of them stopped oscillating at all after a about 3 months. No idea why. That same unit has a weird rattle on the lowest setting, it's actually less annoying on high. However, the other unit still performs as though new out of the box. And even the one that annoys me still does an excellent job of cleaning the air - I just have to keep it on High and stationary. Also, I have no idea if the lights intended to let you know when it's time to clean them even work. I've never seen them come on. I clean them when I look at them and see a good coating of dust. I think perhaps the sensor should be a touch more sensitive. I dinged the rating for Quality and Value for Price a notch because of these issues. HOWEVER, I did not buy these to be oscillating fans. I bought them to clean the air in this house. And at that job, this unit performs very well! My house does not smell stale, nor like an ashtray. Cooking smells disappear quickly. I haven't had a single sinus infection since buying them, and that is saying something. I haven't needed Sudafed or allergy meds. I rest better. I rarely sneeze at home, anymore. Sinus headaches have diminished by over 85%.

We bought two of the Honeywell Air Purifiers at the same time. The other is the oscillating type. Both do a great job - I have terrible allergies and they really help. The house also smells cleaner :) - which is an added bonus. I would definitely purchase this purifier again.

This unit immediately went to work. The room felt cleaner and being that I am in my home office more than in any other room due to work, I want it to be clean and have reduced dust. This unit is a definite must if you are in a room that collects dust and has frequent visits from a pet :)

I purchased two of these for our 100-year old home that always seems to be dusty. They were a little noisy, but I think any purifier you buy is going to have noise. We ran them for about a month and opened them to clean the filter. Obviously they were doing their job! They had trapped a lot of dust. We will continue to use them.

This purifier works well, doesn't cost a lot of money, and is easy to clean. But it's LOUD. On the high fan setting you would not want to be in an otherwise quiet room with this. And turning the fan speed down to reduce noise greatly reduces the airflow and the effectiveness of the purifier. The filters are fairly easy to clean since all you have to do is vacuum them out with a brush attachment, but it doesn't seem to catch as much stuff as I would have expected, probably due to the low fan speed to keep the noise down. I would suggest another model over this one in most cases.

I really like this product I put it in the living room during the day and the bedroom at night. Helps with odors alot.
