The air in my new apartment was terrible when I moved in. I'd walk in the door and start sneezing and my nose would start running. Whatever it was in the air was driving me crazy. I finally caved and after researching some air filters and finally settled on this one - not too expensive, and large enough for my living/dining/kitchen apartment-layout.
The change wasn't by any means instantaneous, but i was patient and gave it two weeks. I forgot it was there (very quiet) and after a while I realized I wasn't sneezing like mad anymore!
I love it. Now I've been introduced to the world of air purifiers, I will never go back. |

| 3 big dogs live in the furnished basement when I am at work...imagine that smell. not only it has a permanent filter, it actually works very well [isn't it the whole point of buying one?]. the doggie smell is gone and the air is fresh. job well done. |

I bought an excellent slim and quiet air filter for my small home. It worked great but was soon overwhelmed by the amount of dust in the air. I live in Southern California on a dusty breezy property and I often keep the windows open. So I soon became overwhelmed by paying $50 for a "three year" filter that lasts me about 6 months.
This particular model has a nice oscillation function and that funny ionic smell one reviewer complained about left after the first day. I would give it a full five stars if it didn't make considerably more noise than my quiet quiet one- which kills this model on the dbs. However, the functionality of washable filters for my situation is king. The air is noticeable much cleaner and quiet mode is quiet enough for me.
Dork note: my cat was weirded out by the oscillation which was quite funny for several days. |

I am allergic to so many things in the air that I don't remember the last time I didn't feel one of the side effects of the allergic reaction.
While this nice Honeywell tower does not cure my allergies completely, it does make my sleep a lot more enjoyable, since it noticeably refreshes (and cools) the air and traps lots of dust. I don't have a stuffed nose when I wake up! |

I received my air purifier earlier this week. So far, the unit works extremely well. I don't know why other people call it noisy. Even on the highest setting, I don't hear it. I guess if you have no noise in the house, you are going to hear it, but it's much quieter than when you listen to your air conditioner running in the house. I don't even notice it. When the TV is on, or Napster, I never hear it, even on the highest setting.
I used to have to clean my filters on a cheaper unit(different brand) every third day, and both of them died after two months. I have been very impressed with the quality of this unit so far, and it works very well and removing smells. I am already a neat freak without allergies, so I purchased the unit to get rid of smoke smells. It work wonders for that.
The only problem I have had is that it has increased my dog's allergies. I have a Lhasa that has eye problems, and his discharge has increased. My vet says that's because the unit pulls the air from the middle of the room, and dispenses it near the bottom of the room, and some dust discharge does come out. I haven't noticed that, but again, I get rid of dust myself like nobody's business. I honestly don't think that his discharge is due to the unit. it's allery season for him.
I recommend this product. Since so many other brand units die after a couple of months, I feel confident that this one won't, and even if it does, I can return it to the manufacturer. After five days of use on low and medium, I have not had to clean the filter yet, and I run it almost the entire day.
Give it a try. |

| i never needed an air purifier until i lived in a rain forest area of Oahu and there is a mold issue, as well as occassional vog (volcanic smog) i didn't want to use air conditioning (we have wonderful breezes, there's no need for it) i noticed a difference in the first 24 hours i used this. i let it run 24/7 and i'm only in the room to sleep, don't have to close up the whole house, has worked GREAT and would recommend it. it did have an odd odor for about an hour (of course it was new) |

Product worked well for 4 months, then suddenly failed to power on. Product shows no sign of life whatsoever- extended service is through a 3rd party vendor, so I am guessing that repairs or service will be hard to acquire.
Summarized:
-product produced cleaner air than no filter at all, yet air quality seemed inferior to other true HEPA filters
-clean air produced by filter had a consistent faint metallic smell
-product was quiet, providing great white noise at night
-oscillations were fluent and gentle
-brief product lifespan severely limits quality- I simply cannot recommend this product |

| I knew I wanted a permanent filter because I didnt want to buy replacements. I read reviews for this one (along with a ton others),i decided to ignore the bad ones and took a chance on this filter. Can I say it is GREAT, I love the long tower desing and the fact that it oscillates. I live in a city apartment and all my windows face a high traffice avenue, on top of that I have a dog. This filter has made the air in my apartment so much cleaner, and I def. stopped waking up feeling stuffy. I keep in on high most of time and its actually very quiet. And it has not had any effect in my electricity bill. |

| I've had this air purifier for 5 days so far, and I can already feel the difference in how clearly I'm breathing. I can actually breath through both nostrils, something I haven't been able to do for months due to dust and pet hair allergies. Another nice perk is that we don't have to dust the apartment as often, we usually dust every 2 days or so, and so far, I've seen no need. |

| I recently moved into an older apartment and developed a cough from the dirty air being circulated through the vents in our heating/ac system. I was unsure if buying an air filter would help and after ready review after review I chose this honeywell. Not only is this as quiet as a fan on low but my cough of 2 months was gone after using it for only 3 days. Another thing that I think I should mention is that I feel like I have more energy in the morning and generally feel better. My wife says I haven't snored as much lately either...lol. |
