Tools and Hardware Reviews of Honeywell HHT-011 Compact Air Purifier with Permanent HEPA Filter
Customer Review: A loud but okay worker.
Summary: 4 Stars
While sketching, reading, or just kicking back there are few activities I enjoy doing more in a room dedicated just for the purpose. Smoking is one of them.
I purchased this Honeywell air purifier to help tackle the rather strong and unpleasant smell of my enjoyable, yet unhealthy and publicly scorned, habit.
How it works:
+ Air circulation is pleasant
+ On high the unit will get rid of the scent in about a half-hour.
+ On medium the unit will mostly get rid of the smell within about a half-hour.
+ On low the unit will mostly get rid of the smell of the last cigarette about two hours after I put it out.
+ Operation on medium produces tolerable levels of background noise.
+ Operation on low produces barely audible noise.
- Operation on high is as loud as a hand-held Dust Vac or hair dryer.
- Despite the increase in noise, there is no discernible difference in performance (I am a smoker so it could be the ol' tobacco)
- I don't know what the lightbulb button does other than wasting electricity by turning on a seemingly pointless LED which shines dully beneath the plastic cover.
- Ionizer makes an irritating electric popping sound.
Conclusion: The negatives are minor compared to the benefits and low cost of the unit which is why I rate 4/5
Customer Review: A miracle!
Summary: 5 Stars
We've only had this item for one day but already notice a HUGE difference. Both my husband and I had been waking up with stuffy noses ever since the cold season began and we started using our fireplace for heat. We placed a larger unit in our family room a week ago (also Honeywell) and noticed right away that there was less dust.
But the real test was placing this smaller unit in our bedroom for the first time last night. The 'white noise' was great! And the best part was........no stuffy noses this morning! It was like a miracle!
And no filter to replace!
Customer Review: A must for computer desk smokers
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for our desk, as we both are on the computer quite a bit. My husband has a website and spends lots of time there, and as a smoker, and also with a woodstove and 3 dogs, I was tired of washing the walls and windows in the winter.
It's saved my walls and windows, along with another larger unit in an opposite corner of our main room. Easy to clean and wash, no expense for filters like my 600.00 model (which is now in the bedroom and pretty much worthless). The noise on medium is certainly tolerable and not offensive in the least, and draws all smoke directly into the unit. Honeywell is certainly the best of all the units we've had, or experienced in our construction business.
Customer Review: After a month use, Well worth the cost

We own a house down in Florida and i could see the dust flooting in the air until they put a 3M filter in the centeral AC air exchanger and no more dust. It got me thinking since our NY house has always been dusty so i bought this unit for my bedroom. Really didn't pay attation to the room size so this is cleaning the air in a room which is little bigger than the size it's supposed to be cleaning. So far after 5 days i don't see any build up on the filters yet but i guess it's early. As for the noise it's the same as any fan would be, louder when it's on high and lower when it's on low but not a big deal either way. Another point that this web site doesn't explain is that this can be used effectively in bigger rooms. 80 sq foot room will have it's air changed 5 times, 149 sq foot, 2.8 times. 300 sq foot 1 time, These are listed right on the front of the box. One concern was the cost of running this thing 365 days a year so i wrote Kaz Consumer Relations Department and they sent a formula to figure what the oost of running the unit would be. It goes like this;
Determine the "Cost to Operate" this item you will need to know the wattage and your `cost per Kilowatt Hour' for your electricity. Once you have this information you should take the wattage of your unit (The wattage of this unit is 102 on the highest setting) and multiply it by .001. Next, multiply the answer by the `cost per KwH'. That answer will give you the cost per hour to run this item.
Example:
Space heater uses 1500 watts. 1500*.001 = 1.5
Average cost per KwH in MA is 14.62 cents.
1.5*14.62=21.93 cents per hour.
If you run this heater 4 hours per day for 30 days it will cost $26.32
Update: Been a month with this unit running on high-medium when I'm home and low at night. My bedroom is around 15x12 and I do leave the door open. This unit working very well, filter is starting to show signs of trapping things from the air. The dust build up is much less on the furniture and I can see the air isn't clogged with dust when light shines through the windows. I'm also finding it much easier to breath so for the money this is worth the investment I made.
Customer Review: After only 6 hours, already making a difference
Summary: 5 Stars
I have numerous airborne allergies. Perfume is one of the worst offenders for causing an allergic reaction for me. I work in an office setting and it is difficult to avoid perfume, flowers, paper dust, etc. I was getting tired of missing work due to a severe allergic reaction so After reading the reviews, I ordered this last week hoping that it might help clean the air space around my desk.
I received this air purifier last night, and brought it into work this morning. Following the directions, I set it up and plugged it in. I have a 6 x 6 cubicle without a door so I wasn't sure how well this would work. It is sitting on my desk about 16 inches from me and after only 6 hours it has made a big difference. Of course, I will only run it during the day when I'm here as I am using it to purify the air in my immediate vicinity. I like that I can adjust the fan speed -- low, medium, and high -- as when I need to talk on the phone I lower it to the low setting. When not on the phone, I can run it on the medium setting. I am also using the ionizer.
The only problem I have with mine is that the night-light switch doesn't work so as long as I have the purifier on the night-light is on. Not a big deal for me as I'm not trying to sleep at my desk!
