 Large but Effective November 1, 2009
Love Keeping it Simple (Boston, MA)
We purchased the Honeywell 18155 for our living room after buying the 17000 for our bedroom, and seeing the benefits it provided to my allergic husband's symptoms. This product is highly effective in purifying our living room atmosphere (a room about 17'x22'). In our urban condo, we deal with pollution, pollen, and cat dander. This air purifier is surprisingly quiet, has 3 speed settings, and has a permanent HEPA filter which we clean out using our HEPA rated vacuum cleaner - - saving us money on replacement filters.
I won't lie. The thing is really big. Our home is only 850 sq. ft. and I am amazed that I willingly dedicate the square footage to this thing that it demands. It's about the size of a low nightstand, or one of those Gatorade containers you see at NFL games on TV that they dump over the coach's head :) Also, it isn't completely silent - - but the noise is not at all intrusive. I actually think it's quieter than our Honeywell 17000. In my research, I read that for an effective air purifier I think you have to put up with a decent-sized unit. For the benefits it provides, we don't mind the sound or the size.
We leave the unit on 24/7 on "Low," and once a week after I thoroughly vacuum and clean our home, I run it on "high" for about 2 hours.
Overall, I recommend this product to allergy sufferers, provided you're fully aware of its size and mild noise. For the price, it's a very effective unit - - and if you want something equally effective but smaller, you're talking about hundreds of dollars more in price.
 Poor Quality November 1, 2009
K-Dog (Athens, TN USA)
This unit powered itself off after only running a few minutes after I received it, and would never come back on. I emailed the customer service department and I did receive a prompt and courteous reply. But the unit had to be returned and I did not repurchase.
 Anything but silent October 22, 2009

Probably an effective and efficient air cleaner. Too soon to know for sure.
But it is noisy. Silent setting is anything but. Seller tries hard but not
there yet.
 Not Silent, Quite Large October 20, 2009
Yarby (CA)
I've had this Air Purifier for about a month, and seems well-built and appears to do a good job. But, a potential buyer should be aware of a couple of things.
It is not silent, especially on the 2 higher settings, and they recommend the highest. I don't know how they get away with calling this "SilentComfort". It sounds like a fan. Putting it on the low setting and a soft surface helps.
It is quite large, and, if you follow directions, it's supposed to be about a foot or so away from any wall or object. That doesn't leave many good options, unless you have a very large area.
 Outstanding! October 12, 2009
G. Morano (Rye Brook, New York United States)
In short:The Honeywell HEPA has solved our problem...we can breathe again and sleep very well. The unit is very quiet, lightweight and has a handle to easily move it from one room to another.It has a permanent filter and is a True Hepa at a very good price. Need I say more.
