Product Description
Recent reports from the EPA estimate that the indoor environment may be two to five times as polluted as outdoor air--and since most Americans spend 90% of their time indoors, that poor air quality can produce harmful immune-system reactions. An essential for anyone with allergies or asthma, this Honeywell air cleaner uses patented technology to rid the home or office of dust, dander, pollen, mold spores, dust mites, and smoke. Specially designed air intake and exhaust grills and a specially designed blade produce maximum airflow and minimum noise, while a high-efficiency HEPA filter traps more than 99% of even the tiniest particles. Sound-reducing insulation further dampens operational noise, and the Intelli-Check electronic indicator lets you know when it’s time to change filters. Three power levels let you customize air cleaning to your own needs. The Honeywell 17000 changes all the air in an average 12- by 14-foot room six complete times an hour. It has a robust Clear Air Delivery Rate (CADR) of 130 for tobacco smoke, pollen, and dust, indicating the volume of filtered air delivered and thus the speed of filtering. --Mary Park

Mine Lasted 6 Years!!!!!
 
Review Date: April 6, 2006
Reviewer: M. Labrador,
I just bought my second Honeywell air cleaner. Actually I bought 2 more. I bought one 6 years ago and ran it constantly. The motor is finally wearing out. This air cleaner worked great in my daughter's bedroom... she is severely allergic to dust and she has related asthma. It works so well that every week when I go to dust her room, there wasn't much dust to remove. I am buying one for my bedroom as well. I'd like to have one in every room of the house! Awesome product for a great price!
Excellent air cleaner at a good price

Reviewer: Michael L. Loren, Kansas City
I am a board certified allergist. I have this in my office and home. It is a great little air cleaner. It has a very good fan/air flow. The air filter is very easy to clean. I even clean the "disposable" prefilter by simply using the wand on my vacumn cleaner or a shop vac. The main hepa is rated permanent, I doubt that, I would suggest replacing it every 3 -4 years. I think the fan is noisy, but some people find the sound soothing at night. I run this 24/7. Over all it is hard to beat the quality of this and the reasonable price.
Great quality, great product!

Although this is a louder unit than I had hoped, it does an excellent job, and has improved our air quality substantially. We've noticed vast improvements in our allergies. For the price, it's really a great buy. I am going to buy one for each room.
Great value - works well
 
Review Date: May 9, 2006
Reviewer: Greenblat,
Originally I purchased an IFD air purifier. They simply don't work.

To replace the IFD air purifier I purchase the Honeywell 17000. The unit works really well at removing dust and other airborn particles. The unit is not as "whisper quiet" as the model name would suggest - but I do not have trouble sleeping while it is on. It sounds like a small box fan on a low setting - which is not too bad at all really.

For the price - I would highly recommend this unit over others.

Review Date: September 17, 2008
Reviewer: ROY PFINGSTEN, Sacramento, Ca. United States
My model 17440 is now 9 yrs old and still going strong. All of these machines make noise, so get the biggest one you can and run it on a low setting. Personally, the noise level in my apt is rather high and the white noise this machine generates is a big help in letting me sleep during the day.

I never shut mine off, and often use it as a fan to blow air into or through my bathroom as bathroom fans are often too weak to keep towels from mildewing without some way of moving dry air around. To do this I lay the machine down, and until recently, so the fan blew down across the floor. The way the cage fan is made this adds the suction force of the fan to the weight of the fan and motor which wears out the lower bearing a lot faster. Turning the unit on its other side takes almost all of the load off the bearings as the fan suction counteracts the weight.

I recently took my unit apart to oil the bearings, and found the motor to be excellent. Not some cheap piece of Chinese junk, but a real industrial motor. I had to remove a lock collar though that must be destroyed to get it off. Ace Hardware had a replacement collar. Some Pedro's bicycle chain oil worked very well. The unit had developed an intermittent squeak and this fixed it.

The unit tests both the pre-filter and inner HEPA filter all the time and will tell you if they get dirty. The only thing I have ever done to the HEPA filter is use the vacuum crevice tool to suck any dust particles off the outside of the filter.

I have NEVER had to replace the HEPA filter on my unit. It came with 3 pre-filters and I use my HEPA vacuum cleaner to suck the dust back out of that while it's still on the round HEPA filter unit. Since I have some pretty bad allergies, I do this with the vacuum cleaner pointed into a steamy bathroom right after a shower so any tiny dust particles get bonded to water molecules. I know that's a pretty anal procedure, but I also have migraine headaches, and after 9 yrs you learn a thing or two.

The first one of these I bought after trying about 5 other small non-HEPA filters. They were a complete waste of money. I went from taking 10 Sudafed a day to none ever in about 3 days. It does take awhile for your system to "unload" all the toxic effects of allergens, but the upside of that is a few hours in a dirty environment won't dose you enough to get you symptomatic as long as you can sleep in a clean environment. If you use it cleverly it will even keep mold out of your house by circulating air all the time. This thing could easily last 20 years with good bearing maintenance.

This is by far the most valuable appliance in my house. I can't imagine the misery I'd be in without it. On low settings it costs almost nothing to run. I rate it ninety two stars. :D

Just buy it and get your life back!!!

How to Choose the Right Air Filter For You

air-purifiersMost of the air purifiers are equipped with air filters, whose job is, as the name suggests, to filter the air you breathe and remove allergens and other problematic air borne substances in your home or office. These units can and should be put in each room of your house, as they can certainly improve your health and alleviate problems with breathing.

As a matter of fact, the best thing about air purifiers, being a natural way to treat the air around you, is that they filter the air that already exists in your home. For that reason, it is completely unnecessary to change your household habits just to get the most of your purifier.  Nevertheless, before you choose an air purifier, you should take a little time to do some research in order to find the best one to fulfill your needs.
