Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Honeywell 50250 99.97% Pure HEPA Round Air Purifier
Customer Review: Large, Bright and Loud
Summary: 2 Stars
I live in a small one bedroom apartment and I wanted to buy an air cleaner for the bedroom. I should have done my due diligence as this purifier is much larger than I thought. This is definitely not a table top unit. The unit is very loud. One of those that cycles from high to low, so brace yourself when you first switch it on. Even on low settings, it's louder than my AC. The light on the power switch is very very bright. It emits a blue light that illuminates the entire area where I put it. I had to tape a piece of cardboard over it because it to block the light. Even then the light is still very noticeable. Customer Review: Effective but Loud
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this filter for my office at work, and it does great. The difference in the air quality was very fast, and has really made my office more enjoyable to work in. The biggest negative to this filter is its noise level, its way to loud to be used in a sleeping area. If noise is not a real concern however, it will get the job done. I have a 20 x 25 office, and have it in the far corner so the noise wont interfere with my phone calls.Customer Review: Great for room with Pets
Summary: 4 Stars
Have been using for three months now. We use in our 275 sq ft bedroom. We have 4 large dogs that sleep in the same room and I was always complaining of the dog odor. After reading reviews, I decided to try this unit....
I must say, I am very impressed. We use low speed while in out room, we can still easily hear the TV and the white noise it creates does not bother us at all. I do still notice a musty smell when coming in/out of the bedroom at night but nothing like before. I bet if I had it on medium while sleeping, there would be no smell.
I set it to high when we leave for work and the room smells great when we get home.
The dust level is very much reduced and neither of us has sneezed or had a stuffy head like we used to.
The machine does produce an ozone type odor that takes getting used to. At times, our fire alarm sensor will beep once or twice. I am sure it us due to the ozone produced.
We also have a overhead fan on high while sleeping.........this seems a great combination for us......
Customer Review: Clean Air with Nasty Smell
Summary: 4 Stars
Pretty tough to rate an air cleaner without high tech equipment to gauge air quality before and after. I'll take Consumer Reports word for it when they say this air purifier does a good job of getting the air clean in the room. I don't even mind the sound.
My gripe is with the odd odor that came from the machine. I've read other reviews about this happening and a call to the manufacturer confirms that it does give off an odor that they say goes away. I've been running it for almost a month now and entering a room where this is running brings a whiff of some rubbery smell. Maybe my nose is just sensitive to smell, but it's become more of a nuissance than any dirty air was. In a large room it's not so bad, but my unit left in a bedroom will leave that funky stench.
Not sure if I got a bad purifier or just a sensitive nose. But I'm getting an odd smell from mine and it seems like many others are too.
Update: It's been over 6 months since I started using this and the smell has gone away. It's been working well for me since and I've upped my score from 2 stars to 4 stars. I guess just be warned that this thing will probably need some major airing out after purchase.
Customer Review: A spectacular air purifier- but noisy.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using my Honeywell 50250 for about a month and could hardly be more pleased with its performance. The air purifier does a spectacular job of removing dust in my bedroom. The resulting reduction in the amount of dust collected when vacuuming the floor is really amazing. The unit seem very well engineered and sturdy. When you change the pre-filter the amount of dust collected is startling.
The unit has had a big impact on my allergies.
It's noisy: Leaf blower or vacuum cleaner noisy on the highest setting. It doesn't bother me but take note if sleeping in a room with a cruise missile engine doesn't appeal to you.
