 makes air clean Jul 28, 2010
I have only had this air purifier for less than a week, but I am amazed at the results. After the first night of using this in my bedroom, I woke up and could actually breathe. My nose is normally clogged in the morning. Hopefully I'll be able to stop sleeping with nasal strips soon! Also, my dog has had watery eyes for a while and has been having a runny nose the past month or so. I didn't even think about the purifier helping with this problem. I happened to notice after the first night of using the purifier, her eyes were not wet around them like they normally are and her nose was not running. I also purchased a larger purifier to use in the living room, so hopefully that will help both my dog and myself for times other than while sleeping.
The noise isn't too bad, but I am used to sleeping with a humidifier. The high setting would be too loud to sleep with. I use it on the medium setting during the night and my humidifier is also on medium during the night. The humidifier is definitely louder than the air purifier.
I would definitely recommend this air purifier to others. I may even purchase one to take to my parents' house and use there when I stay overnight. My dad smokes and my eyes, nose, and throat are typically burning after one night. Maybe the purifier will help clear the air in the room I sleep just a bit. I'm sure my mom will also run it 24 hours a day while I'm gone to help with the smoke!!
 Too loud to use Jul 14, 2010
I did a lot of research and waffling about before settling on this air purifier. I suffer from intense seasonal allergies and while no air purifier will eliminate them, I was hoping for at least a little help easing them. I decided to buy the Honeywell 50250 based purely on the CADR rating, which is the best I've seen.
After getting it home, my first impressions are that it is simply huge! My apartment is small and it doesn't tuck up against a wall like more rectangular models do. Next, I turned it on and it was much, much louder than I was hoping. Even on the lowest setting, it made a substantial racket from the next room. I could NOT watch TV with it on without bumping up the volume and disturbing my neighbors. One thing I know about myself is that if the air purifier is too loud, I won't use it. I have every intention of turning it on before going to bed or leaving for work, but it just doesn't happen consistently. I know this because the last Honeywell air purifier I had was also loud, though more compact, and it didn't get used as often as it should to have been really effective.
I took it back immediately and settled on buying a RabbitAir 421A cleaner instead. I know it has a lower CADR rating and is more expensive but I leave it on 24-7 so I believe it's more useful. It has different modes (automatic, pollen, sleep, ozone-free ionizer on/off, and more), and it is VERY QUIET. As a less important note, it is also less ugly than the Honeywell.
If you live in a moderate to large space in a louder city that might help drown out the noise, then the Honeywell 50250 may work for you. It didn't for me.
Better than ozone Jul 13, 2010
I purchased 2 of these machines for a 14X70 mobile home, they work great in removing cooking, smoking, and pet odors from our home. I used a ozone machine for awhile, and it bothered allergy and asmatha symptoms terribly, this machine has actually improved allergy symptoms. I would recommend this one.
Great Room Purifier Jul 07, 2010
This is not your typical "ionic breeze" style purifier. it is not silent, it is not energy efficient, it does create some waste heat (heats up the room when run continously)
However. If you are using this to circulate your room and properly clean the air. this is your unit.
Pros -
Will clean a standard room (12x15) multiple times an hour.
has permanent filters
sturdy base will not fall over like some of those tower models (good if you have kids)
Cons -
Loud. the low setting is noticeable, the high setting is very loud, sounds like an air conditioner on the high setting
large - takes up a large floor footprint and must be at least 3 feet from every wall (basically in the middle of the room)
uses substantial electricity, we have 3 running full time in our house. it will eat up considerably more energy than your "ionic breeze"
permanent filters are not really permanent. apparently people have complained that the filters need replacing, this is not the case unless you damage them or physically get them wet.
Best purchase yet from Amazon Jul 07, 2010
My son has COPD and this hepa filter is making breathing so much easier for him. It also cuts down on my allergy attacks. I am glad we don't have to get rid of our furry pets to enjoy better air.
