Summary: Expensive, loud, and dirty.
Comment: I have done extensive research on indoor air purifier and the thing is, you do not want the one that is 1) heavy and ugly 2) Nosy 3) expensive to run it 4) expensive to maintain 5) Does not function as well for the money. I came up with THE BEST air purifier there is on the market AIR SOURCE 3000 by Shaklee. One SMALL unit covers up to 3000 Sq feet, no filter to chance, they look like an art, quite and energy saving, kills bacteria and virus, and DOES the job it is supposed to. I will think twice before you buy one of these ugly heavy bulky expensive appliance.

Summary: THROW OUT THE PILLS !
Comment: After receiving my Honeywell 50250 (which DOES come with the PERMANENT HEPA filter), I put it on "High" and let it run, in my carpeted 266 sq. ft. bedroom, with the door shut. I slept that night on the sofa in my tiled-floor living room, downstairs. The next evening I noticed a significant change in the air quality in the bedroom. I changed the setting from "High" to "Low" (less noise) and slept in the bedroom.

Results: no more cervical pillow and/or nasal strips needed to help keep my airway open when I sleep. No more need for Singulair,Zyrtek,Wal-Dryl and Vick's nasal inhaler. I simnply did not experience the hacking cough
that didn't allow me to sleep at night.

Summary: Item works great, best bang for the buck. Large and noisy ? Nothing you can't handle in exchange for a good night's sleep !!

Buy it !

Summary: Allergy Relief for me
Comment: The Honeywell 50250 I recently purchased replaces my (10 years already?) old Honeywell 52500. I run it daily when I'm home (and over night) and it makes a considerable difference in my allergies. I have a cat and a dog and our house does not have that "dog smell" because of this machine.
The only reason I had to buy a new one was because my 10 year old HEPA filter began getting an intermittent noise. - sounds like the motor bearings are finally going out. How many appliances motors last 10 years with a duty cycle like this!?
If I could find bearings, or figure out how to lubricate the existing bearings I'd do that instead and keep the old one. At least the filters are the same part, so my spare pre-filters won't go to waste.
The 50250 is not a very quiet appliance, so I run it in another room. That means it is not able to circulate the room air as often as rated. I'm also covering a much larger area (1500+sq feet), but this appliance is much cheaper than converting my house to a central air system and getting some sort of central system.

Summary: I expected better!
Comment: If you're wanting to use this in a bedroom, "THIS IS NOT FOR YOU!"
Let me list the cons on this purifier first:
1. It's huge. Too big for a night stand. Just right for the floor.

2. It's loud. Even on low sounds like a 747 warming up.

3. The blue power light is really bright. It's like being in a gay bar. Not that I have ever been in one. Had to put 2 layers of Duct tape over mine just so I could get to sleep.

4. The carbon pre-filter emits a funky oder even after running for 5 days.
The company recommends you place the cleaner outside or in a garage. I put mine in the garage since only a fool, or some nitwit that would suggest to you to do this, would place an electric appliance outside and let it run.
Then let it run on high for 24 hours. I did this and it still STINKS. The lady said that in a room it was just recirculating the bad smell. Duh! let me see. It's an Air Purifier, Right?
I don't know if I can get used to this.

Now let me list the Pros:
1: Uh, let me mention if I haven't already that it is "BIG".
I will most likely be sending this Smelly, noisy, huge, bright
Pain in the butt back to Amazon.
If you go ahead and buy one of these don't let me say "I told you so".
