 | Honeywell HHT-011 Compact Air Purifier with Permanent HEPA Filter
Good but not clear about safety of ionizer -- 2010-08-30
The filter seems to do a good job. It is not nearly as quiet as some reviewers mention, the sound is quite audible at night, but not irritatingly so.
The ionizer switch lights up just as much as the built-in "night light." Ionizers are known to create ozone (see Consumer Reports.) The manual says not to use the ionizer if you suffer from asthma. Put all these together and it sounds like the ionizer is not completely safe. I recommend not using the ionizer when the room is occupied, or only for short periods of time. If it has been on for an extended period of time, let fresh air into the room before spending some time in the room.
Compact Air Cleaner -- 2010-08-28
This small air cleaner is best for very small areas. It sits atop my cat's litter box located in the bathroom and does an adequate job of controlling litter box odors between changes. It can also be mounted on a wall if you don't have a place for it to sit. Replacement filters are relatively expensive at $42.00. It's fairly quiet on low and has strong airflow. I think it's a too noisy and too small for the average bedroom. Permanent filter doesn't really mean permanent however. Permanent filters do become clogged over time and simply must be replaced. It's a decent little unit for very small areas.......recommended!!!!

Good Unit: Can Be Used As Tower or Desk Unit in Horizontal Position -- 2010-09-02
I got this in the midst of the ragweed season and have it on most of the time. It definitely helps banish the allergens since I am allergic to ragweed, mold and dust, among other things. It is super quiet on the low "Whisperclean" setting and simply soft quiet white noise on higher settings. There's even a "Quickclean" setting for more severe times: and this is the high speed. There is no ionizer, but I have no problem in not having one. The best part is that one does not need to buy filters. Just vacuum the permanent filter every 3-6 months. It can be set upright as a tower as well as horizontally and it has four adhesive feet with soft material on the outside that can be put on the unit for the horizontal position so it won't scratch furniture. There is a base for the "tower" position that can be easily removed if you place it horizontally. Very ergonomic and an excellent investment. They were really thinking when they designed this.
Works well and is quiet -- 2010-08-24
I wanted this for my bedroom. It was even more quiet than I expected. I've bought a few air cleaners over the past couple years and this one is the most quiet. On whisper setting I could barely hear it at all. It doesn't get much louder on medium setting. I like that I don't have to buy filters and can just use the vacuum when it's time to clean the filter. So far it works as advertised and I am happy with it. I am purchasing a second one for my son's room.

Works Great! -- 2010-08-26
Had this thing for a couple months now, and it works great. Loud, yes - on medium or high. Solution - we run it when we're at work, and when we're sleeping upstairs. When we're in the room, it's on low or turned off.
The reduction in dust in our living room is significant, especially considering the space exceeds the maximum rating for the machine. Cuts down on allergies, stuffy nose, etc - overall works great. You can see from the accumulation on the pre-filter what the machine has saved you from breathing in. Well worth the money.
Relief after living next to a quarry.... -- 2010-08-23
I moved out to a condo that is less than 2 miles from a rock quarry in the Azusa CA area. As a result, every time I run the AC, or open a window, nearly everything nearby is coated in a fine, gritty patina of dust. Lately this has been affecting my sleep the point that I'm waking up with a horrible raspy throat and runny nose. I decided to purchase this model for my living room and the Quietcare 17000 for my bedroom to see if I could improve the overall air quality in the condo and also minimize my issues that I was having going to sleep. I've had them for about a week now and I have to say the improvement is indeed quite noticeable.
The air feels noticeably fresher and cleaner, I can't really describe it any other way. The odors from the adjoining kitchen (food, smoke, trashcan, recycling bin, etc) are effectively absorbed by this unit and the built-in fan circulates the air quite nicely as well. Sleep at night has also gotten better as well. I'm no longer waking up at night with a mouth and sinus cavity full of gunk and my throat is not nearly as sore as it used to be.
I'd say the only downside is that the "Turbo" and "Home" settings (High and Medium for you and me) are noticeably, well...there's no way to mince words with this...they're freaking loud. Particularly Turbo. I'd say you can only really use these settings if you say leave for the day and not have anyone in the immediate vicinity of this device because at those levels the noise is quite overpowering and I doubt anyone could really do anything in the same room as this filter while it's on its maximum fan settings.
Other than the leafblower levels of noise with its max fan settings, this is a fine HEPA air cleaner for your residence. The 384 sq feet of coverage is fantastic, it actually circulates the air in the room very well, and will allow you to improve the air quality inside your home very nicely. The permanent filter and the ability to clean it without outright replacing it is a welcome feature in today's tough economy.

Fantastic! -- 2010-08-30
I was skeptical at first before I received this product, but I've had it for about a week and the results are already noticeable! I set this in my bedroom (10x10) and I could tell a difference within the first 24 hours. Now, my entire house is extremely dusty, so this may not be the case for everyone, but I've noticed less dust on my TV and computer already! Also, I cleaned this today because, as I said, my house is EXTREMELY dusty, and there I saw so much captured dust I was amazed. :) I would definitely buy this product again, especially since it's cheap for an air purifier with a permanent filter :)!
Quieter than most ! -- 2010-08-27
I've had the old Sharper Image air cleaners, and they are totally quiet. I tried a few other brands and they were very loud, comparably. This unit is the most quiet I have found yet, and I do recommend. Noise is an issue with me. This does generate some noise, yet it's very tolerable.

Silent & Great! -- 2010-08-31
I just bought this air purifier and it has been working great. It is very quiet even on high and has been sucking a lot of dust up. I would recommend this model to anyone who wants it to attack the dust while still being quiet
Air Purifier works well -- 2010-08-27
As a person with severe allergies, I can tell you this works well to clear the air of the things that will bother you. My previous filter was an Ion, and I like this much better. The only thing I can see slightly bad is how large it is, but I don't even care about that. It works, and that is all I care about. For the money, you will be pleased.

 | Honeywell 17000 Permanent Pure HEPA QuietCare Air Purifier
Excellent Experience -- 2010-08-31
I purchased a Honeywell 17000 Air Purifier from a huge retail home products store for my son's dorm room. The box had been sealed but when I opened it the item had obviously been used and returned since the filter was soiled. I ordered on line and purchased the same item for less money and free shipping. The box was in pristine condition and clearly never opened. The air purifier inside was sealed in plastic for cleanliness. I was extraordinarily pleased with this purchase and the item works perfectly for removing dust, odors and air-borne viruses from the dorm room.
Very effective filter, but not very good at circulating air.... -- 2010-08-23
I purchased this filter along with the Honeywell HEPA Air Purifier 50250 to improve the overall air quality in my condo. I currently live near a rock quarry so everytime I open a window, the immediate area around the windows gets coated in a fine patina of gritty dust. This started to affect my sleep so I decided to get these two filters to see if they made a difference.
I can safely say that they do make quite a difference indeed! The 50250 filter is in the living room, (due to it's larger size and larger noise emmissions) and this one found its home inside my bedroom. It does a very good job of cleaning the air inside my room and my sleep has improved noticeably after just a couple weeks of use.
The unit does have a few downsides however that do detract from a 5-star review.
1st, the high setting is really too noisy to be used at all unless you're outside of the room. It's kind of a misnomer in that sense since the unit is labeled a "Quietcare" unit, at maximum setting, it pretty much is a miniature leafblower inside the room.
2nd, the air filter doesn't really "circulate" the air all that well. It sucks in air near the base of the unit and sort of "shoots" it straight upwards at the top of the unit. This pretty much means you'll have to pair it with an oscillating standing/tower fan to really make sure it circulates the freshly cleaned air throughout the room. Also, given the size of the unit, it really should be only used in small rooms or rooms paired with another oscillating fan.
Other than these two minor quibbles, it really does a fantastic job. I've only had it a hair under two weeks, but already I'm noticing a marked improvement to the air quality in my bedroom and condo. A great product all around.

 | Honeywell HFD-120-Q Tower HEPAQuiet Air Purifier with Permanent IFD Filter, Black
Worked great...for about a year. -- 2010-08-31
I really did appreciate this while it lasted. It was in my bedroom and served as a fan/white noise maker/air purifier all in one. I'd only turn it on while sleeping, but it lasted barely over a year before it started making a horrible sound. It sounds like there is a flap or rudder stuck in a fan blade or something. So, I'll be paying shipping to the manufacturer in TN, plus their $10 reshipping fee. Not what I expected from this price point and the frequency in which it was used.
Cigarette Smell and Dust Gone -- 2010-08-10
I orginally started looking for a air purifier after I moved into my apartment. My neighbors, that lived underneath me, smoked alot and the smell came up into my apartment and there would be a haze in the room when I would get home from work. I purchased this product over a year ago from Sears and it has worked great! I keep it running 24/7. It got rid of the haze and the smell in my 750sq ft apartment. I also noticed that I didn't have to clean the dust as often from my black entertainment stand and I didn't wake up congested in the mornings. I love this product and would highly recommended it!

Excellent Replacement -- 2010-07-20
Perfect replacement for my air purifer... cheaper than Target and shipped to my door in about 2-3 days.
New filters in beat up packaging worked fine. -- 2010-04-24
I was emailed and told that the packaging was damaged but the filters were fine and asked if I still wanted them. I replied and said basically if the filters are fine, then I don't care about the packaging. Their reply was that the filters were fine so I told them to send them. They arrived and were exactly as described, the filters were not damaged. I put them in and they worked fine.

air cleaner -- 2010-08-31
i bought this with the hopes of clearing the bedroom air of allergens that keep my nose constantly clogged up. this unit did not help my allergies but it does take odors out of the air and is very quiet.
Runs quietly and does a great job -- 2010-08-31
I really like this machine. I have been running it for a few weeks. It runs so quietly. It detects odors before I can and starts cleaning the air. I think this was a good purchase.
