Honeywell True HEPA Air Purifier

So far this thing is great! The air feels better already!

Has done wonders, with allergies and with having a son that has asthma it sure has helped him with his breathing. I'm confident that the air that he now breaths is healthier for him than before.

This past January 2013 I suddenly became ill with a respiratory infection that made me quite sensitive to the air in my home. Though I use high quality filters on my furnace/air conditioner, these were insufficient.

I tried a Holmes small air purifier in the mid-1990's that really did not help with removing particles near where I was sitting at the computer and cleaning was necessary just about every day. This was in the back of my mind when I had to urgently look for an air purifier due to the respiratory infection's increased difficulty of breathing and constant coughing.

I went to several retail stores comparing other companies' products and wasn't quite happy about the permanent filters with no replacements. I went to Home Depot and found several types of air purifiers by Honeywell and chose the Model 50255-HD to place in my livingroom which is adjacent to the kitchen and dining area. Though this area is open, it becomes dusty faster due to my home facing a busy street. The furnance filter is having less particles to absorb and allows for cleaner air into the bedrooms as well as cleaner returned air to the living room, kitchen and dining area.

Since the purchase of the Honeywell air purifier, the air has been amazingly better; the product's filter picks up cat dander and fur and other particles; it is easy to use the sweeper tool and suction clean the pre-filter; and the product's light weight makes it easy for lifting while sweeping the carpet.

Should I need another air purifier in the bedrooms, I certainly will purchase the smaller version of Honeywell's products.
