Honeywell 50250 99.97% Pure HEPA Round Air Purifier Top Quality

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.
