5 star air purifier

I suffer from allergies and this really removes allergens from the air. It even removes cooking smells from the kitchen.

It's not quiet, but it works

I've had this unit for a week now, and I'm pleased with the results I have got out of it. My bedroom is only about 140sq feet, but since this is rated for larger rooms than mine, I am able to run it on Medium rather than High and still get some nice filtering from it. I run it on Low while I sleep, turn it off when I wake up, and run it on Medium or High for a couple of hours before I go to bed each night. I try to keep my door shut while it is on.

I'm an asthmatic and allergic to my two cats, and have been suffering for the last month (we have had them for a couple of years now). I haven't been able to figure out why I've suddenly begun having symptoms again, but it has been problematic to say the least, and I've had to use my inhaler daily, as I typically wake up with asthma symptoms. I decided that since I could not find the cause of my problems (we tried changing their litter type, brushing them daily, changing their food, and doing a thorough clean-up of my room), I would try to purify my bedroom's air while I sleep, since that is when I generally have problems. The first night I still woke with asthma symptoms, but since the second night I'm completely free and can breath much easier at night. I believe this has helped me sleep better, as I no longer struggle to breath each night.

The unit is quite loud in a room of my size, unless it is on Low (it's no louder than my room fan when it's on Low). My computer is in my bedroom, and I use headphones if I'm using it, so that I may run the purifier on Medium or High. Otherwise, after a day of getting used to it, I no longer notice that it's there. You would not want to put this in a medium or large bedroom, unless you purified during the day and turned it to Low or Off while you slept.

Honeywell claims that their HEPA filter is cleanable and only needs to be vacuumed every 6 months. The unit also requires an activated carbon prefilter to eliminate odors, and mine came with the initial prefilter and two additional free prefilters (yours may not have this, it appears to be a special offer). There is a small display on the unit where it displays your programmed settings (which I did not find as useful as I had hoped), and where it also reports how dirty your filters are. If the HEPA filter is truly cleanable, then this will be a very cheap air purifier to maintain, compared to other models which require you to purchase a $20-40 filter every few months.

Oh! I almost forgot to mention how convenient the remote is! I don't have to get up when I decide to take off my headphones or turn on my television, I can just hit a button on the remote and swap it to Low or Off. This is such a convenient feature that should not be overlooked, if you spend a lot of time in the room where you'll keep this unit.

room air purifier

This Honeywell Hepa Air Purifier is very good. Both my husband and I have allergy's and it has really helped us out. We leave it on low around the clock because we live in Oregon where people get a lot of allergy's from the trees, plants & shrubs. I don't know how it rates for economy but it is worth it if you have very bad allergy's. We like it a lot.

Exactly what we were looking for

As others have mentioned, it is quite loud when on high. It's no problem for us since we were looking for something to create white noise and to act as an air filtration device. You won't be disappointed with this product. The ability to program it is a bonus that I wasn't really looking for but actually like and use!

Good for masking city noises

It's true: this model is pretty noisy. But I find the hum soothing and it covers up the traffic noises outside of my apartment. It's pretty powerful, and I've also used it as a fan on hot days. I'm not really sure how well the purifier works compared to other models, because this is my first. It hasn't solved allergy problems but I don't think anything can.
