"smells awful"
Since I have used the Honeywell air purifiers before with great satisfaction, I was surprised that when I unpacked it and started to use it it gave off a sickening plastic smell worse than the ones in the shower curtains that we are told to avoid. I've been running it as much as possible near an open window to get rid of the smell. A little bit of the smell still remains. If I hadn't already thrown out the box I would have returned it. The smell emanating from the machine defeats the purpose of the machine. The purifier should be recalled and removed from the marketplace and remade with non toxic materials.

"Paul from Maryland"
The Honeywell 50250 works great in keeping our master bedroom, family room and bath area of the house free of allergy causing air born particles which both my wife and I are allergic to. Both of us have not needed our allergy medicines to the point we are hardly using the medicines at all.

"Works just fine + permanent HEPA filter"
I've read so many reviews of air purifiers that it became an exercise in futility. I zeroed in on the Honeywell 50250 as the best overall best bang for the buck. Several reviewers posted that the 50250 does not have a permanent HEPA filter. For that you need to get the 5025N. Well, I bought a 50250 yesterday at Home Depot for $169.00 and it clearly states on the box, and in the user manual that the 50250 has a permanent HEPA filter, and gives directions for cleaning it by vacuuming. So, it has a permanent HEPA filter. It also has a carbon-based "pre-filter" that wraps around the HEPA filter -- the carbon filter must be replaced, probably yearly. THR HEPA filter looks like a giant car air filter, about ten inches high.

Anyhow, having the unit for only a few days, I can't speak for its effectiveness, but I will say that it isn't nearly as loud as some claim, and putting it in the room with our central air return seems to really help remove lots of dust that would normally be recycled back through the system via the return duct and 3M Filtrete filter. It may be just wishful thinking, but I swear our household air seems fresher, and we live in south Florida where the air conditioning is a big deal.

"air purifier"
very satisfied with product. I am using it in my family room and it gets the job done! I have 2 small dogs that live in that room and one of them sheds like crazy. This purifier seems to clear the room of dog hair and doggy odors.

"allergy chaser."
I highly recommend this air cleaner, especially for someone with pets and/or allergy problems. We live in the country surrounded by pollen, have indoor pets, and this is the only unit that cuts the allergens. A perk is less dust. I have 2 of these units, which run full time, and this purifier does a superb job. Amazon has a great price and great delivery time. In this era of high gas prices having it delivered to the door is the way to go.

What our customer's say!

"Performs as advertised", It does a great job of cleaning the air of cooking smells, smoke, dust, et cetera. We keep in the living area of our apartment, and have noticed a marked improvement in the air quality.
It does make noise, but it's at about the level of a window air conditioner fan on the 'regular' cleaning. Turbo's louder, but we don't need it that often.

"I'm happy with it but.........", I use this Air Purifier in my bedroom and am very happy with the results. But if you're going to use it in a similar application then there are a few things you should know. First and foremost is that it's noisy, even on the lowest setting there is substantial fan noise and if that will affect your sleep patterns then reconsider your purchase. Secondly there is a blue ring of light surrounding the selector switch on the top of the unit. Very bright will light up the room at night (my solution was to tape a piece of paper over light and switch to reduce the glow). So to recap if a constant fan noise or a fairly bright blue glow is going to disrupt your lifestyle then you might reconsider your purchase. As I mentioned earlier I am very happy with the Air Purifier it does a great job.

"Works Great, Powerful, LOUD", I recently picked this up to add to my collection of HEPA filters and was not disappointed. Buyer beware, this unit is LOUD. It moves more air than most house fans. It has 3 speed settings, and the lowest is still a bit too loud for bedroom or family room use. Make no mistake though, this unit has a huge filter and moves more air than any purifier I've ever used.

If you want something a little quieter for bedroom use, I'd recommend the Honeywell 18500 series. Same filtration, same principles, moves half the air at probably a quarter of the noise.

Another quality Honeywell product, highly recommended. Just not for the bedroom.

"Good product... can move a lot of air", This product seems to be the best bang for the buck. Bought it on sale for about $105 at Kohl's. It is noisy, but if you want clean air and don't mind the noise... then this is the filter for you.

"Works well..except for the blue light", This model is every bit as good as all the reviews state: It filters very well, It is loud (but I like the white noise). I returned mine to the store because unlike a previous model that I owned this one has an intense blue light on the control knob that is too bright for my taste. Other than the light..I would have kept it. For those that do not mind this then I would recommend the model. I will look for the same brand but one that does not have this light on it.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"I can breathe!!!", I don't care what anyone else says....I picked the unit up on Thursday evening, started it running on high in my room about an hour before I went to bed, then turned it down to low for the night...Friday morning I woke up with NO congestion and my eyes were not all raw, itchy and sore! I read another review that said they didn't think it was possible to help allergens that fast...I'm telling you it DOES! I moved it downstairs to our main living area for the day on Friday and after a couple hours, again, no problems with allergies. I can't express what a relief this is! I've been on two different allergy meds plus antihistamine eye drops, none of which is doing diddly. Ok..sure, when I go outside, everything flares up again, but at least I can find comfort and relief in my own house now. I usually flare up everytime the dogs come in the house also. The came in for about 20 min and then back out again. I wasn't nearly in the pain I usually am from that.

Ok, so the machine is loud...really loud...but it's like an airconditioner without that clankety start up and shut down noise a window a/c unit has. I would also compare it to a hairdryer that you sit under at the salon...not really the handheld one. Anyone who has sat under one will know what I'm talking about. I thought low was the high setting when I first turned it on because it was quite loud...ummm...nope...high is much louder. My husband HATES noise when we sleep, but even he confessed that the ability to breathe was worth getting used to the sound on low.

I will definately be looking into a couple of the slightly smaller ones for the bedrooms and keep this one downstairs.

A couple more things. Someone said it blows cold air...yes, it does because the air at ground level is cooler. And like that person said...that will be nice come summer (and maybe save on running the house a/c), but winter will be a challenge. Fortunately we don't suffer from too many winter allergies.

Also, I commented on someone's review that said their daughter got loads of enjoyment out of floating a balloon above the unit in the circle of blown air. I intended to show this to my kids, but they beat me to it!!! I didn't even mention the idea to them! They came calling for me to see what they discovered, and there they were chasing a balloon with the string attached in circles. I have to admit, this was quite entertaining and made the noise a bit more tolerable. :)

I got a price match and paid $139 (this included the price + shipping cost on Amazon) at Home Depot where it is $169. I would have paid full price though if I had to and it would have been well worth it!

"Don't buy this unless you are deaf!", I bought this yesterday at Walmart for $158. I'm amazed that an air purifier can be sold that is this LOUD. They expect you to run this 24/7!! Even on the lowest setting, I think I would hear this motor if it was down in the garage, let alone near my bed as I'm trying to fall asleep. Horrible product.

"Bad quality - poor value", I bought one of these, took it home, turned it on, and it had a bad rattle and would shake when running. I turned it off and looked it over carefully. You can see the fan through the slot on top. The fan had a section of plastic missing throwing it off balance. I am surprised the assemblers of the unit tried to slip an obvious defective part into a unit. Neverless, I took it back and swapped it for another unit. Although the new unit did not rattle, it shook when operating on low speed and made a pulsating wind noise. Looking at the fan on this unit found it to be off center slightly. I took the second one back, got a refund, and bought a different brand model at sears.

"Large and in charge", This thing is LOUD. Then again, that's the price you pay for moving a lot of air. I've had filters before where you couldn't just wash the filter; this is a big plus for this model. Great buy.

"A Good Purchase for the Basement", Purchased - February 08 - To eliminate cat odors

Positives: Our male cat has sprayed in the basement, even after a lot of cleaning, the odor lingers. This air cleaner has done the job and eliminated the smell. We leave it on all the time.

Deltas: It is loud. Too loud for our bedroom or living room. When we watch tv in the basement we turn it to low or off. We purchased an excellent Rabbitaire for the bedroom.

Overall: Worth the $.
