Good for the price October 17, 2009

Good:
- Actually works: reduces allergy symptoms from pet dander.
- Removes odors from the air: leaves your place smelling fresh (as long as you keep up on pre-filter changes)
Bad:
- NOISY: It's not so much the "volume," but the sound. The high pitch howling is impossible to tune out.
- Inefficient: uses 180 watts on high and 80 watts on low, yikes.
Recommended: for living rooms, basements, and kitchens. It's too noisy for a bedroom, but works well anywhere else.
We have two cats in a small-ish apartment (800sq/ft). As we close up the windows for winter my allergies get absolutely out of control.
It does work well, depending on how you define "well." It can move enough air to work on the whole apartment...but it's loud.
The actual noise level is about equivalent to my window AC unit, however the quality of noise makes the difference.
The AC produces a mechanical hum which, even though it's loud, is easy to "tune out." The air filter produces a high pitched howling that cuts through everything and is impossible to ignore.
Given that, I couldn't put it in the bedroom like I intended. It's going back to Amazon :(
It DOES work though! My symptoms subsided enough that I could even start skipping doses of allergy medicine (I don't like being "drugged" all the time). It also did a good job keeping the place smelling "fresh" by removing kitchen odors. I think that's my favorite part!
I would have liked to keep it in the living room, in addition to the more expensive cleaner in the bedroom. Can you clean your air too much? Unfortunately, we can only afford one right now.

It takes up more space than I was expecting. But its quality more than makes up for it. It has exceeded my expectations in air quality.
 Just what I needed! October 5, 2009

I made the rather foolish decision to bring a kitten in my small apartment despite my asthma and allergies. I did as much as I could to prevent myself from being sick - she stayed off my bed, her litter was in another room, I washed my hands after I touched her, I bathed her regularly, I vacuumed often, etc - which did keep my hives to a minimum but it did nothing to keep me from sneezing uncontrollably and being continually congested (which was bad for my asthma).
I did a lot of research very quickly to find a quality HEPA purifier and finally stumbled upon this little beauty. It shipped quickly and I immediately set it up. The difference in air quality was immediate! As recommended, I put it on "high" for an hour or two and then switched it back down to "low." I keep it on "low" most of the time, but I do turn it up when I'm vacuuming (it seems to help catch the stuff that comes out of the carpet before it settles again) and if I notice myself congested for some reason. After it ran for a day, my congestion was completely gone and my sneezing was drastically reduced. No asthma symptoms, either. Two weeks later, I feel great!
The unit is larger than I'd expected - about 2' across and slightly taller - but it is stylish and fits in the room nicely. It is not as noisy as some reviewers would have you believe - when standing next to it, it is more noisy than an upright fan, but less noisy than an air conditioner. It was annoying and loud the first day, but I soon was able to tune it out and now don't even notice it.
I would definitely recommend this product!
Good Purchase, but noisy October 4, 2009

Air filter works great, but is very noisy - even on the sleep setting. It has helped with my daughter who has asthma and allergies. She is much less congested in the mornings than she used to be. The filter is not a cure-all, but has certainly been helpful for us. We will probably buy another for the vacation house unless honeywell comes up with something quieter before then.
 Stinky and Cold! September 27, 2009

It still smells weird after 2 weeks.
And all the cold air blowing out is freezing me!
I'm sending it back to amazon now.
I am much happier with the counter top units Honeywell has. I
have 3 strategically placed in my home to take the place of the
bigger unit. And their filters do not need to be replaced at all, only vacuumed periodically. This one has a pre-filter that needs to replaced every 3 months, so more expense. It is really a rip-off to say that it has a permanent filter & then call the replacement a pre-filter.
There is too much to say negatively about this; read the fine print in the ad for the stuff that doesn't make sense.
