Tools and Hardware Reviews of Honeywell HFR-11 Pure HEPA Permanent Replacement Filter
Customer Review: Correct air cleaner model numbers listed here
Summary: 4 Stars
The "Features:" and "Product Discription" do not list the correct Honeywell air cleaner model numbers that use this filter. Here is the "Replacement Filter Table" on the box of the HRF-11. The first number is the Air Purifier series followed by the # of filters required in parenthesis. The last, right number is for the HEPA filter model # it replaces:
10500 (2) 20500
10590 (1) 20590
17000 (2) 20500
50100 (1) 20590
As another reviewer has already noted, this is not really a 'permanent' filter because it must be replaced every 3-5 years under normal use, just like the non-permanent filter that originally came with the air cleaner.
I'm giving it 4 stars for two reasons: 1. Because I really do not find a difference in the way this works yet compared to the filter that came with my 17000; and 2. My machine requires two of these so the air actually goes through less HEPA material than the one-piece filter that came with the machine [casing and spacer where HEPA material would be if a one piece filter]. Only time will tell if I have to replace this sooner than I would for a one piece filter (yearly) due to it's usage in a room with a wood stove.
Customer Review: Don't buy Honeywell air products
Summary: 1 Stars
Kaz, Inc. pays for use of the Honeywell name to market their own air products. To make more money, Kaz has reduced the number of filters in their line by supplying smaller filters with foam spacers to fill the gap. They reduced this filter height from 2-3/4" to 1-3/4" and gave me a 1" piece of foam as a spacer. That's a loss of over 30% filtering area!
They also claim that it is a "LifeTime HEPA Permanent Filter". However, in the directions, it says that you must vacuum the entire filter with your own vacuum cleaner. Hence, the filter is only as clean as your vacuum's capability.
I don't think that it's a product that Honeywell itself would produce.
Customer Review: Filter did not fit 17000 correctly
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased 2 HFR-11 instead of the original sized filter. Spec claims 2 will fit the 17000 corectly. Well, it was a bit thick when you stack the two. I managed to tighten the big screw, but the cover did not close to it's normal position. Despite not fitting correctly, it seemed to seal ok.Customer Review: Filter is great, price is so-so
Summary: 5 Stars
We got our first HFR-11 at Target for only $12. I didn't realize we'd need two for our HEPA unit, and when we returned to the store for another they were sold out. So I ordered one from Amazon for $19, much more than Target but still worth it. For years I've paid hundreds of dollars for replacement HEPA filters (every 2 years). If these are indeed permanent, I'll be quite happy. The filters seem to work well with our HEPA. I use one carbon filter insert and wrap it around both HFR-11s.
Be sure you get TWO of these if your unit requires a wide filter. Our unit barely worked with just one in it, and the air was noticeably lesser quality. With both of these, the unit hums and our bedroom air is wonderful.
I'll be buying two more HFR-11s for our second HEPA when its filter goes, which will be soon. Hopefully Amazon will meet Target's price.
Customer Review: Genuine Honeywell - You'll need two for a model 17000
Summary: 3 Stars
These are genuine Honeywell filters even though they are actually manufactured by a medical products company "Kaz USA" that pays a license to use the Honeywell brand name.
If you own a Honeywell Model 17000, you'll need two of these filters. Similar to other reviews, I don't like how I now have to install and stack two filters. It's also harder to wrap the activated carbon pre-filter snugly around two of these filters. Once installed the cover is lopsided so I can only hope there is an airtight seal. I question whether it will perform as well as the original single filter system.
Depending on the model, you need to use one filter, stack two filters, and/or use the foam gasket that is included.
From the box:
Model 10500 (or HEPA filter 20500) uses two HRF-11 filters
Model 10590 (or HEPA filter 20590) uses one HRF-11 filter
Model 17000 (or HEPA filter 20500) uses two HRF-11 filters
Model 50100 (or HEPA filter 20590) uses one HRF-11 filter
