Honeywell 17005 HEPA Air Purifier

Rating

I LOVE THIS MACHINE! SOME PEOPLE DON'T, DUE TO THE NOISE, BUT I LIKE THE WHITE NOISE TO SLEEP BY... THE ONLY NEGATIVE IS THE PRICE OF THE REPLACEMENT FILTER, WHICH WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BUY FOR 6 MONTHS - THANK GOODNESS! IT'S LIKE BUYING A PRINTER NOWADAYS. THE PRINTER IS REASONABLE, BUT THE COST OF REPLACEMENT INK WILL GET YOU! I HOPE YOU FOLKS GET A GOOD DEAL ON FILTERS THAT WORK WITH THIS.

I really like this. Had a different one for about 10 years and it finally broke. This was a replacement for the bedroom and a little larger. Was a little louder, but I got used to it after one night and sleep with it on. Provides nice 'white noise,' which partially blocks out the outside sirens, etc. And I breathe easier also. Two pluses!

I decided to try and treat my allergies wtihout having to take allergy medicine and eye drops every single day, so I started shopping around for air purifiers.After reading the reviews on this brand, and the great price on Overstock, I decided to get two of these for the areas of my house that I am in most of the time (my bedroom and my livingroom). I've had them for about 1-2 weeks, and they are working wonderfully. I can definitely notice a decrease in my allergies, and my home smells fresher. I also sleep better too!There are some downsides to this product. As the other reviews stated, it is loud. Even on the low setting it is not quiet like some other brand claim to be. That said, I think the "white noise" is helping me sleep. What I have been doing is setting it to run on high while I am not in that particular room, and then low during the hours that I am in that room. One of the nice features of this model is that you can program 2 seetings for different hours of the day, that way you can plug it in, set it and forget about it. The unit is pretty large as well. If you are looking for something sleek that won't be an eyesore in your room, then this one is not for you. Also there are future costs involved that I was not aware of upfront. There are 2 filters, a pre-filter, which is supposed to be replace every 1-3 months; and a hepa filter, which is supposed to be replaced every 1-3 years. The costs I am finding for these are: pre-filter about $10 each, hepa filter: about $60 each.Now, after using these purifiers for the last 1-2 weeks, I took the filter out and looked at it, and it is definitely catching dust, etc, so I know it is working well.I do not regret buying these air purifiers, but wish they were quieter, and wish I had known about the cost of the filters beforehand.

I bought 2 of these purifiers because a good friend recommended this purifier as being excellent, especially for people with allergies/asthma and for people having pets. I love these purifiers, as they do a great job for each room I have them in and OverStock.com had the absolute best price on them. I bought these 2 purifiers here for what you would pay for one at any other website/ store. The only thing, is that they are not as quiet as I had hoped, so I have to turn the TV volume up double as to what I would normally have it, and this is when the purifier is on the low setting. But, they do a great job in purifying the air, and that is what's most important!

The product was just as described. It emits not too loud a sound although I recommend you run it on med or high when not sleeping and then on low when sleeping. It seems to function well and is nicely designed and not too bulky. I am seriously considering buying another one.
