Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Contrary to Honeywell, this unit "pulses" air from the get-go. That would be with all new filters that came with the unit. From Honeywell's site concerning this unit model, it should only pulse when the filters require changing.
The unit makes quite a bit of noise on low speed, enough to compete with the TV and conversation if placed in the same room. We have it in an unused bedroom, not sure how good it will do there for cleaning air in the rooms we do use.
The image shows that the unit is brown, however we received the more pleasant white color.
I regret the purchase and will be purchasing a whole house filter unit that attaches to the central air unit's air handler.
All that being said, it appears to be cleaning air, so one star off for being excessively loud on low speed.UPDATE 01/10/10: I became used to the sound of the unit fairly quick. It is still noticable, but not too annoying since considering it is doing a job. The unit does clean the air in a 20x20 area very good, no doubt about that. It appears the filters do not require any maintenance for 90 days, and then only light vacumming/blowing now and then before a yearly replacement. Also, this particular unit utilizes a "CPZ canister (that) reduces smoke and odors". I retract my initial review above and rate this a five star product.

Designed for rooms up to 17 by 22 feet (with an 8-foot ceiling), this commercial-grade air-filtration system delivers cleaner, more breathable air--great for places like restaurants, bars, schools, offices, daycare centers, and other indoor spaces where people gather. The unit comes equipped with a HEPA filter, which efficiently removes 99.97-percent of airborne particles down to 0.3 micron in size from the air that passes through the filter, including dust-mite allergens, pollen, mold spores, bacteria, dust, soot, and tobacco-smoke particles. In addition to the HEPA filter, the air cleaner also features a Carbon, Potassium Permanganate, and Zeolite (CPZ) canister to reduce annoying odors like tobacco smoke, chemical odors, and strong cooking odors. Air passes through an activated-carbon prefilter first, however, which helps reduce odors and extends the life of the HEPA filter and CPZ canister. The unit provides quiet operation and a three-speed fan/blower with air volumes of 150 cfm at low speed, 225 cfm at medium speed, and 300 cfm at high speed. Other highlights include 360-degree air intake and discharge, six air changes per hour, an 8-foot power cord, durable plastic housing, a lightweight design at just 24 pounds, and a convenient carrying handle for simple transport. UL-listed and CSA-certified, the air cleaner measures 16 by 16 by 14 inches and carries a five-year limited warranty.
