Tools and Hardware Reviews of Honeywell 50250 99.97% Pure HEPA Round Air Purifier
Customer Review: Allergy Relief for me
Summary: 5 Stars
The Honeywell 50250 I recently purchased replaces my (10 years already?) old Honeywell 52500. I run it daily when I'm home (and over night) and it makes a considerable difference in my allergies. I have a cat and a dog and our house does not have that "dog smell" because of this machine.
The only reason I had to buy a new one was because my 10 year old HEPA filter began getting an intermittent noise. - sounds like the motor bearings are finally going out. How many appliances motors last 10 years with a duty cycle like this!?
If I could find bearings, or figure out how to lubricate the existing bearings I'd do that instead and keep the old one. At least the filters are the same part, so my spare pre-filters won't go to waste.
The 50250 is not a very quiet appliance, so I run it in another room. That means it is not able to circulate the room air as often as rated. I'm also covering a much larger area (1500+sq feet), but this appliance is much cheaper than converting my house to a central air system and getting some sort of central system.

Congratulations. If you are reading this, you are exactly where you want to be. This is the absolute best value filter on the market. The only filters better than this one sell for $600. If you want to pay six times the price to get those last few microscopic particles out of the room, go ahead. This filter is a pretty big boy, about the size of a small TV, and on Turbo it is certainly loud enough to drown out your TV. On the other two settings, it is reasonably quiet. In my opinion, the more sound the better, because this is the sound of air passing through and blowing out. There are no vibrations or anything like that.
When you first get the filter, run it on Turbo for a few hours. After that little time, you will actually be able to sense that the air in the room is much fresher. It's like being outside in the fresh air, except without all of the irritating particles getting into your sinuses and lungs.

Customer Review: Great HEPA filter!
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I received this Honeywell Pure HEPA Round Air Purifier as a wedding gift about 2 years ago. We've been using this filter nonstop since.
Because my husband's work shop is attached to our home, a lot of dust particles and pollen make their way into our house many times a day, either on clothing or just in the air. There are three settings on this Filter and a light that will indicate when it needs to be cleaned. Since we use it constantly, I can say it withstands a lot of dust before needing to be cleaned. Not that I am recommending you wait like we sometimes do. Cleaning the filter is super easy. We just use an attachmenet from our vacuum and it's done in minutes.
This is a side feature, or rather bonus for me, but it also acts as a bit of a fan. It seems to help keep things cool during the Spring and Summer months.
My only regret is that we just have one. I really could use another.

I will spare you a long review, as there are PLENTY of good reviews for this fine air purifier already. I will simply be leaving my opinions on the negative reviews I had read before ordering. The blue light is NOT so bright that it is a problem at night. It is a bit on the loud side, but not so loud that it is an issue (especially on the sleep setting). It arrived in its factory seal with a new carbon pre-filter and had not been returned previously. It does not rock or make strange noises due to an off balance fan. It does a great job cleaning the air and our smoke problems are now gone. We have a cat and a guinea pig... pet hair does not seem to be a problem whatsoever. For the money, I can definitely say that it is a great deal and a quality machine. If you want to spend $600-$700, I'm sure you can get a better one. For this price, I defy you to find a better product. Lifetime HEPA filter that you can vacuum clean? Awesome.Customer Review: Great for Allergies, and dust control
Summary: 5 Stars
Allergies: Several years ago, my sister and her husband came to visit me (and my two cats) for an extended stay. My brother-in-law was allergic to the cats, and was using his asthma inhaler many times per day (miserable). So, for the house I purchased two large Honeywell units for the downstairs, and smaller units for the bedrooms.
After turning these on, he didn't use his inhaler for the rest of the visit!
Dust: Usually, when a sunbeam streamed into my kitchen window, you could see the uncountable dust motes, dancing in the air. Once I turned these units on I noticed that the individual dust motes could be counted easily, one...two....threee... maybe as many as a dozen.
Noise: Yes, they are noisy, however, if you aren't home during the day, you can run them on high, and turn them down (or off) when you are in the room. I find the benefit greatly outweighs the noise (and I HATE noise).
