Tools and Hardware Reviews of Honeywell Long-Life Pure HEPA QuietCare Air Purifier, 17000
Customer Review: Built Tough and Works Hard
Summary: 5 Stars
Forget all those *Ion Stick* air cleaners. This is the real deal. Moves a lot of air, and gets the room clean and dust free in just an hour or two. The filters are easy to change. The prefilter goes for about 7 bucks each and the main HEPA for about 20, but the latter only has to be changed every couple of years. About as noisy as a fan.Customer Review: Did the Job for a while... then kaput
Summary: 2 Stars
I had, note HAD, two (2) of these Honeywell units, and overall, they were on the noisy side when compared to the Hunter Quietflo, but they did the job, BUT just FOR a few years, then both of motors burnt out... the first unit warned me with a squealing noise for about a week and then just froze up... the second one, well, it was the silent sufferer of the two, never complained but just stopped one evening within months of the first. If it would have be just one of the air purifiers, well, I would have though bad luck... but both? NOT. I had the motors checked out and both were DOA... my option was to send them back to Honeywell and have them replaced for almost price that I paid... the other was to buy another. That is what I did, but, not Honeywell (I bought the Hunter QuetFlo #30402). For the price of a Honeywell the motor should run for many years, not just a few.

Summary: 4 Stars
This unit seems to work fine and is pretty quiet on low speed. Unfortunately, there was no improvement in my hay fever allergies when this purifier was used on low speed setting, even in my small office at work. Perhaps the air turnover rate was insufficient, or my allergies are just too sensitive.Customer Review: Does it's job well
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a chronic allergy sufferer, and used to wake up several times a night with a stuffed nose. I purchased the Honeywell 17000N based on user recomendations, and the very first night the difference was aparent. I let it run for a few hours before bedtime, and for the first time in seemingly forever, I did not need Afrin during the night. The noise of the unit is not an issue, on medium it is nothing more than pleasant white noise. After a month, I checked the filter to see what had been caught, and the prefilter was caked in dust. All in all, a worthwhile purchase.Customer Review: Does job well and does it quitely
Summary: 5 Stars
This air purifier does a great job of filtering the air in our apartment. I am asthmatic. I bought two of these units, one for the bedroom, and one for the home office where my boyfriend smokes when the weather is too hot or too cold to go outdoors. He can smoke in his home office without triggering my asthma if he runs this purifier on the medium setting. Because I have asthma, I needed an air purifer without an ionizer, and I'm happy with this product. Ionizers produce ozone, which is harmful to the respiratory system, especially if you are asthmatic. A lot of popular air purifers are just ionizers that don't do a good job of filtering allergins, and many of the HEPA purifiers have an ionizer that works in conjunction with the HEPA. This unit does not contain an ionizer, and the HEPA is permanent so it can be cleaned. The pre-filter has to be replaced every 3-4 months, and the replacement is about ten dollars. This unit is quiet in comparison to its counterparts, but don't expect silence. It contains a motor with a fan to pull air through the filter, so it makes some noise. It's "white noise" and we were used to it after two days.
