Honeywell 17000 Permanent Pure HEPA QuietCare Air Purifier
Honeywell 17000 Permanent Pure HEPA QuietCare Air Purifier
This portable air cleaner is recommended for filtering the air in a closed room as large as 168 square feet (12 by 14 feet). As it continuously circulates a room’s air–about six times per hour–it employs two filters to remove smoke, pollen, dust, animal dander, dust mites, molds, bacteria, viruses, and odors. Especially useful for asthmatics and allergy sufferers, the cleaner contains a true HEPA filter that is at least 99.97 percent effective at trapping extremely tiny particles (as small as 0.3 microns) while a prefilter reduces odors. Honeywell’s IntelliCheck system permits monitoring the filters’ lives. Each filter has a button. Pressing a button activates a light, which blinks or shines steadily. One blink indicates that the filter has lots of life remaining, two blinks means less life, three blinks means even less, and a steady light indicates the filter needs changing. The HEPA filter lasts one to three years; the prefilter, three months. Filter replacement is simple, and replacement filters can be ordered separately. The air cleaner has three speeds, and all are exceptionally quiet for an air cleaner this large and powerful. It carries a five-year warranty against defects. –Fred Brack

Honeywell 17000 Permanent Pure HEPA QuietCare Air Purifier Reviews
(1) Like most I am skeptical of products claims. However, after getting a National Allergy promo ad from my Doctor and reading reviews here, I took a chance on this Honeywell purifier. I have owned other Air Cleaners in the past from Friedrich and they did clean the air somewhat, but were bulky, noisy, and costly to maintain. Electrostatic devices don’t cut it for me. You need air to pass through a filter for it be considered an air purifier in my book. I bought this for the bedroom in my apartment (roughly 18′X12′). The shipping was quick and the product showed up with no damage. Assembly was easy, just unscrew the center cap, wrap the pre-filter around the main filter, re-insert, and screw the cap back in. I set this up to run on high like the manual said for a few minutes, but just let it run while I was watching TV in the other room. After one night of it running on High, I could notice a HUGE difference walking between the bedroom and the living room. I have sleep apnea, so this definitely helps the quality of the air going into my machine. It does sound like a fan on High, but it is moving a large volume of air on this setting. Also it works great on High at masking other noises from the outside so it serves a dual purpose in that effect. Overall very satisfied with it. Great product. Should have done this sooner.
Also I am getting a Honeywell 50250 for the living room. I expect it to perform just as well as this one did.
(2) It’s not the most attractive appliance, but it is quiet, it’s not to large, and it definitely does it’s job. I’ve got asthma and all kinds of allergies, and this filter has definitely helped me breathe easier. If you’re looking for something really aesthetically pleasing, this might not be it, but if you want something that’s benign and that really works, then go for it. I love it.
