 Quiet and powerful air purifier with no filters to replace |

I have other ionic air cleaners, as well as one that requires a filter. This air purifier is quiet and due to its compact size, can be placed off the floor on a bookcase, dresser top or top shelf which makes it optimal for space-saving and placement. I don't particularly like the noise from air filters and they have a tendency to keep me up.
After spending many dollars on replacement filters and new air cleaners when the filter is no longer made or easily available, this is a welcome addition with a permanent cleanable filter. I bought two of these, one for my bedroom and one for the living room. Set on low all of the time, it is great as it just sounds like a little white noise and is not noticable most of the time. The optional ionic on and off switch, night light, as well as the automated light indicating that the filter should be cleaned is a BONUS besides the low price. So far, I am enjoying cleaner air in an old dusty house with 3 cats and 2 dogs...
I have bought the Sharper Image ionic breeze for the bathroom and find it hard to clean and hope that when I have to clean this filter. Good value for the money. |

I brought this one recently to replace the sharper image's ionizer purifier, since I want something to shut off the ionizer -- the air has some smell from those ions.
This unit has three speeds. Another switch to turn on or off the ionizer.
The lowest speed can push enough air comparable to Sharper Image's high speed, without much noise. If no one talks in the room, you can still notice the sound. But if anyone talks or the TV is on, then you would not noticed the sound, even in a 8x10 room. Middle and high speed push 20-50 times more air than a Sharper Images ionizer purifiers. I wish it has a feature to push a button to boost the air flow to high speed for 15 minutes, then fall back to slowest speed...
For the price of a tank of gasoline, and free shipping from Amazon, buying this is no brainer.... |
Works fine for me

| I might buy a second one for my home office. As another reviewer mentoned, it is a little noisey on high, but the second setting (which seems powerful enough for my needs) has a pleasant hum that acts as white noice. It has a nice stable design...because it sets square and low, my cats haven't been tempted to try to push it over (some air purifiers looks a little too much like cat scratching posts). Instructions on how to use and clean are easy to follow. I'm not sure what the ionizer is supposed to do so I haven't used that feature, but so far I seem to be sleeping better with it running than I was without it, so I am assuming it is doing ts job. No complaints so far. |
Exactly what I was looking for.

| This Honeywell HHT-011 tabletop air purifier turned out to be just what I needed. It sits on a dresser in the bedroom. It is very stable, does NOT shake or vibrate, but produces a kind of "white noise" that is amazingly conducive to sleep (you can barely hear it on the lowest of the three speeds)we keep it on the medium speed. The air is cleaner, we no longer sneeze upon waking, and I don't need to dust as often. One of my main reasons for buying this product was that it has a permanent HEPA filter which can be cleaned and reused. (Our PREVIOUS air purifier was large-taking up too much floor space, it was too noisy, it was an electricity hog, and you needed to buy a new replacement filter as necessary - costing way too much to run.) THIS PRODUCT is compact, powerful enough to keep the room fresh and clean, easy and not expensive to maintain. I am very satisfied with this purchase and would highly recommend this air purifier. |
Works great!

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!! |
Great Product

I was having 2 to 3 asthma attacks a day. I live in the country and the wood smoke from nearby houses was causing me serious problems. I have had no asthma attacks since I started using this product at night. I put it on its lowest setting and it is very quiet. Better than the steroid inhaler my doctor had me on. |
Excellent Value

| I bought this item based on past positive experiences with Honeywell items. In a bedroom, it is amazingly quiet on the lowest fan setting. The ionizer is a neat feature in this price class, although the night light feature with its UFO greenish glow is kind of stupid, but at least it can be turned on or off. The medium setting is comparable to the low setting on the old air purifier it replaces. The washable/reusable pre-filter is a great idea as this is the part of any filter that gets dirty first. Since the HEPA filter only needs replacement every couple of years under normal use, the savings of not having to replace the older style fixed pre-filter/HEPA combo is a huge bonus. Highly recommended for small rooms. |
Great for the bedroom the noise doesn't bother me

Last Friday we made the mistake of going to the Humane Society to "look" and came home with a kitten. We already had an adult cat, and I am only mildly allergic to him.
Well she sheds like crazy, and I woke up Saturday with my face swollen, congested and just plain miserable. I ordered this last Saturday, it arrived on Tuesday and it's been doing a great job so far.
There is already an air quality difference between the bedroom (where this Honeywell is) and the living room. Our bedroom had a musty winter odor before, now it's smells super clean. I already noticed that there is less cat hair on my comforter.
My husband is also a smoker, I never realized how bad the smell was until I woke up this morning and walked out into the living room. I almost gagged. I walked back into the bedroom to make sure I wasn't loosing it, and sure enough there was a major difference between the two rooms.
It is a bit noisy, but we keep it on medium. However I am one of those people who has a hard time sleeping without the tv, not anymore. The minute I am in bed, I am out.
My husband who told me today that he hasn't slept with the fan on since we bought the Honeywell (he likes the white noise).
Another thing is that we noticed a temperature difference in that room, it's much cooler. This might be a problem for other folks, but we also like a cooler bedroom.
I think it's very likely we will buy one of these for every room! |
