Product Description

This portable air cleaner is recommended for filtering the air in a closed room as large as 168 square feet (12 by 14 feet). As it continuously circulates a room's air--about six times per hour--it employs two filters to remove smoke, pollen, dust, animal dander, dust mites, molds, bacteria, viruses, and odors. Especially useful for asthmatics and allergy sufferers, the cleaner contains a true HEPA filter that is at least 99.97 percent effective at trapping extremely tiny particles (as small as 0.3 microns) while a prefilter reduces odors. Honeywell's IntelliCheck system permits monitoring the filters' lives. Each filter has a button. Pressing a button activates a light, which blinks or shines steadily. One blink indicates that the filter has lots of life remaining, two blinks means less life, three blinks means even less, and a steady light indicates the filter needs changing. The HEPA filter lasts one to three years; the prefilter, three months. Filter replacement is simple, and replacement filters can be ordered separately. The air cleaner has three speeds, and all are exceptionally quiet for an air cleaner this large and powerful. It carries a five-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack True HEPA filter removes 99.97% of all airborne particlesfrom the air passing through the filter such as pollen, cat dander,household dust, tobacco some & mold spores

Most Helpful Customer Reviews

I bought this because the previous resident at our place had an inside dog. We vacuumed and shampooed the carpets in an attempt to get all the allergens out of the room. However, I was still waking up with a sore throat in the mornings. Once I put this in the room and let it run overnight (on low) the problems went away. After a few weeks of letting it run 24/7, I moved it to another room and I still sleep pretty well.

Alot of people who reviewed this said it was extremely loud, but I don't find it to be very bad. When running on low, it sounds like you have a small fan running in the room. If you run it on high, it does get louder, but still not enough to bother me. I was able to sleep with it running on low about 6 feet from the bed.
