Honeywell HHT-011 Compact Air Purifier with Permanent HEPA Filter


Quiet and powerful air purifier with no filters to replace5

I have other ionic air cleaners as well as one that requires a filter. This air purifier is quiet and due to its compact size can be placed off the floor on a bookcase dresser top or top shelf which makes it optimal for space-saving and placement. I don't particularly like the noise from air filters and they have a tendency to keep me up.



After spending many dollars on replacement filters and new air cleaners when the filter is no longer made or easily available this is a welcome addition with a permanent cleanable filter. I bought two of these one for my bedroom and one for the living room. Set on low all of the time it is great as it just sounds like a little white noise and is not noticable most of the time. The optional ionic on and off switch night light as well as the automated light indicating that the filter should be cleaned is a BONUS besides the low price. So far I am enjoying cleaner air in an old dusty house with 3 cats and 2 dogs...



I have bought the Sharper Image ionic breeze for the bathroom and find it hard to clean and hope that when I have to clean this filter. Good value for the money.More detail ...

Honeywell 38002 Enviracare Universal Replacement Pre-Filter


Pre-Filter Fits All Honeywell HEPA Air Cleaners5

I follow the manufacturer's recommendation to change the pre-filter every 3 months on all my Honeywell Air Cleaners with HEPA filters. These replacement filters come boxed in a set of two. The pre-filter simply wraps around the round HEPA filter which is inside the unit and attaches to itself by means of two velcro fasteners. It takes less than five minutes to change the pre-filter. In between changes I vacuum my pre-filters to remove accumulated dust and pet hair from them. These pre-filters do help to remove some odors from rooms especially if you are able to keep the space enclosed where you have the air cleaner running.

Be sure to keep a box or two of these pre-filters on hand in case they become back ordered. The HEPA filter needs to be changed in 1-3 years depending on conditions where it is located.More detail ...
