Customer Reviews

Very happy with the results!
We purchased this air purifier because my daughter's asthma acts up everytime she gets a cold (which happens too frequently with the midwest weather conditions). We've had the purifier for about 6 weeks & we have seen a dramatic difference in her condition (plus it benefits my husband & I too). Because the purifier can be a little bit loud on the high setting, we only run the high setting when we're not home. When we're home, we use the medium setting & at night, the low setting. It's so easy to move the unit from room to room that we now run it 24/7 in our home. For the cost, I would definitely recommend this to anyone considering an air purifier!

Air Purifier Under Heavy Load
I am using this product in our basement where we have 8 ferrets and it is doing a great job of eliminating the odors that come from having so many of these little critters all together in the same space. Our whole house air filter built into the furnace/AC system just couldn't deal with the problem of ferret odor in the basement, but since I've added this filter the problem is gone. I do need to vacuum the outer filter every week because it does collect so much fur, something that wouldn't be necessary if the unit was being used in almost any other location. It should be noted that the filter can be a bit loud, but that is not an issue in my particular usage, but would be a problem if you were trying to use it in an area where say you wanted to watch television or listen to music.

blue light
How do I like the unit, it works well but it has a terrible blue night light that never goes out, bright and stupid .. I wrote to the MFG and told them to the same thing, see my letter to the MFG following;

Service/Sales/Engineering or anyone else who will listen ..

I have two Honeywell air purifiers .. the original model 83332 which quite working (motor stopped running and just hums) a few days before xmas 2008 (original purchase date 11/01/02) and the unit I replaced it with .. called a 50250 which looks very similar and pretty much runs the same expect for one big difference ..... the 50250 has a BLUE light which never goes out and shines from around the rotary switch and all the edges of the control panel and even through the out side housing in a dark room. I call it a night light because unless your a 4 year old who sleeps in semi daylight the light is a terribly unpleasant complication to anyone trying to sleep .. in a darkened room it shines enough light to make the entire room look like your sleeping in a home aquarium. The first night I covered it partially with a small bean bag but it only helps marginally .. I called the service number the next day and ask how to turn it off and they said it was a FEATURE of that model .. like it did something beside keep me awake .. and that it could not be turned off .. they did in the end tell me to try covering it with duck tape .. believe me duck tape doesn't work .. we're back to bean bag sitting over the switch blocking near 80% of the light and I've moved the unit to where it is least offensive but I am bewildered that someone at your company thought a bright blue light on 24/7 is somehow a good idea .. you recommend the unit be run 24/7 which means if you run it in the bedroom then it's sea world aquarium time every night.

The first unit gave out after almost exactly 6 years of NO BLUE LIGHT perfect service and sadly the replacement which was hard to find since no one in the SFV (91335) local Los Angeles area except Home Depot (who keeps them piled up in a lost corner covered with dust) carries them, I had to go to Amazon and order it in (which works well) but unless you folks can figure out who decided to stick the useless blue light into the new models and some how lock them in a closet so they do no more harm it may not make a difference that it's hard to find your products on retail shelves .. because this guy and I assume anyone else who is lucky enough to find out about the blue light before they put their money down is not going to be buying these things.

I am trying to see this in some .. oh well, another strange happening in declining America .. but honestly this blue light thing is really stupid, really.

Thanks for listing ..
