Honeywell 18155 SilentComfort Permanent, True HEPA Air Purifier Review

The motor died on my first Honeywell machine after about 5 years of use. Then I bought a hepa Holmes air cleaner because I wanted something with a smaller footprint. Alas, the Holmes started to emit a foul odor after a couple of months and, after figuring out it had nothing to do with the filter and pre-filter, I got rid of it.

When I bought my current Honeywell from Amazon, it was the same model as the old one EXCEPT I no longer have to replace the main filter core. Those in my old Honeywell machine used to cost -75 each to replace! Yes, there is a loud whooshing sound when this machine is set on High but it is fairly quiet when it's on Medium or Low. I've heard what the industrial-sized Honeywells in doctor's offices sound like when they're on - akin to a small jet engine. So Honeywell's noise level rating is relative to their other not-so-silent models.

I have moderate allergies and when I feel my chest tightening up from too much dust building up at home, I first set the machine to HIGH for a few minutes, then lower the setting to Medium to continue the air cleaning. This makes the noise level more tolerable.

I do notice that my allergies are less severe when I use the machine. At the time I was researching air purifiers, the better ones were considerably more - about 0 for the same room capacity.

I buy the pre-filter in sheets that I cut up into 8 long strips. These cost about and last me about a year for moderate use on the air cleaner.. rather inexpensive upkeep.

Okay product - MoMo - Washington, DC
Bought the product because I used to wake up with red eyes. I was also very tired. Thought my allergies were really creeping up at night (when your immune system relaxes). Bought the filter like two weeks ago.

First, pretty loud on both high and medium setting.
Second, pretty big for a room air purifier.
Third, seems to kind of work. Have been using it for two weeks, and it seems to kind of work. I'll give it a few more weeks to make a final decision. Might have been prudent to not get one at all or try for a better (more expensive) one.

Honeywell air purifier - BLove - Austin, TX
Product received ahead of schedule. I installed in our bedroom and from the first night it has provided excellent results and my wife, who has numerous allegies, has been able to sleep at night. Only complaint is the size, but then I just didn't look at the footprint when I ordered. I'll be carefull the next one I order.

Great product.
