True HEPA filter removes 99.97% of all airborne particlesfrom the air passing through the filter such as pollen, cat dander,household dust, tobacco some & mold spores
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.

Honeywell 17000 Permanent Pure HEPA QuietAir Purifier made by Honeywell is an excellent air cleaner. The reasons for this are:
1. it's a right out of the box operation, just unpack it, check that all the filters are where they are supposed to be and plug in and start.
2. it's quiet... oh, you can hear it run, and it has LED light to show that it is working, and at what speed. The lights are green and they turn to amber when the filters need changing or attention.
3. The air return is at the top and dispersed quickly throughout the room.
4. This model of the Honeywell air filter picks up small particles from the air in the room... I've noticed that the fine particle dust that plagues your furniture is down considerably.
5. If you have pets, ( cats or dogs ), the hair dander is being filtered from the air that you breathe.
6. I've noticed that cooking orders have been reduced., also.
I just plugged the Honeywell in and set the variable speed and let it work. I don't even notice it any more, while it quietly does the job it was intended to do clear the air you breathe.
Oh, if you have asthma, this is the air cleaner you need to get. There is a marked decrease in allergens in the air and breathing is so much better. I know this because I have seasonal asthma and I've notice breathing is easier. For the price, it's worth the money. The Honeywell 17000 comes in a subdued white color making it fit into most decors.
I had a Honeywell prior to this model, also with the HEPA filter. When it finally stopped working ( 10 year running ). I was looking for a replacement and I have found the right machine to do the job. I've decreased my medications, with doctor supervision, and I feel great.
Now, all I have to do is get another for the bedroom and I'll have cleaner air to breathe in the areas of the house where I spend the most time.
Honeywell has made an air cleaner that you can depend upon. Giving it 5 stars from a person who both uses and appreciates air that is non-allergenic, is my pleasure

After having my 2nd child, my allergies seemed to really take off. We were faced with the grim reality that we may need to find a new home for our cats. We put this in our bedroom for one night felt immediaty clear the next morning. We've decided to buy two more for other areas of the house. It is not the quietest thing around, but I love sleeping with white noise anyway. If it means the sinus infections will stop, I'll deal with the noise.
"Works great even after months of running 24/7" 2010-01-18By
Joshua DriggsI bought the Honeywell 17000 because we have two dogs and both me and my wife can get horrible seasonal allergies.
My seasonal allergies were so bad that medication was doing little to curb the symptoms, and I was buying tissue boxes every single week. One of the dogs sheds, and they both track in plenty of outside dust into the house. So in order to breath better at night I bought the Honeywell 17000. Other reviews had stated that it moved a lot of air without being too loud, and that is true. Even with the unit right next to my bed I can fall asleep with it on low. The medium and high settings are much louder however. But even on low there is a lot of clean air coming out of the unit. I haven't woke up to a stuffy nose since I bought the unit. It doesn't draw too much power on low so we have left it on 24/7 for several months now. It is still as quiet as when we first turned it on, and there isn't any sign of wear or noise from the extra time.
My only con is that the carbon filter, which is only to eliminate extra smells, seemed to wear off pretty quickly. But the permanent HEPA filter so far has taken in a lot of dust without loosing performance.

I first purchased one of these units in 2000 and I'm still a fan of them. It works well and quickly, clearing the air of dust and odors in a room within an hour after it's switched on. It is not too large or heavy (about 14" tall and 5 lbs) and has a handle, making it easy to move around the house. IMO it's quieter than most Holmes products. These days the replacement HEPA filters for Honeywell are cheaper than Holmes too. You can extend the life of the HEPA filter and prefilter by gentle monthly (or every other month) vacuuming of the exterior case and the internal filters. I've tried some other models, and none worked as well at cleaning the air, or were as quiet as this model.
