Recent reports from the EPA estimate that the indoor environment may be two to five times as polluted as outdoor air--and since most Americans spend 90% of their time indoors, that poor air quality can produce harmful immune-system reactions. An essential for anyone with allergies or asthma, this Honeywell air cleaner uses patented technology to rid the home or office of dust, dander, pollen, mold spores, dust mites, and smoke. Specially designed air intake and exhaust grills and a specially designed blade produce maximum airflow and minimum noise, while a high-efficiency HEPA filter traps more than 99% of even the tiniest particles. Sound-reducing insulation further dampens operational noise, and the Intelli-Check electronic indicator lets you know when it's time to change filters. Three power levels let you customize air cleaning to your own needs. The Honeywell 17000 changes all the air in an average 12- by 14-foot room six complete times an hour. It has a robust Clear Air Delivery Rate (CADR) of 130 for tobacco smoke, pollen, and dust, indicating the volume of filtered air delivered and thus the speed of filtering. --Mary Park

 9yrs of Perfection September 17, 2008
ROY PFINGSTEN (Sacramento, Ca. United States)
My model 17440 is now 9 yrs old and still going strong. All of these machines make noise, so get the biggest one you can and run it on a low setting. Personally, the noise level in my apt is rather high and the white noise this machine generates is a big help in letting me sleep during the day.
I never shut mine off, and often use it as a fan to blow air into or through my bathroom as bathroom fans are often too weak to keep towels from mildewing without some way of moving dry air around. To do this I lay the machine down, and until recently, so the fan blew down across the floor. The way the cage fan is made this adds the suction force of the fan to the weight of the fan and motor which wears out the lower bearing a lot faster. Turning the unit on its other side takes almost all of the load off the bearings as the fan suction counteracts the weight.
I recently took my unit apart to oil the bearings, and found the motor to be excellent. Not some cheap piece of Chinese junk, but a real industrial motor. I had to remove a lock collar though that must be destroyed to get it off. Ace Hardware had a replacement collar. Some Pedro's bicycle chain oil worked very well. The unit had developed an intermittent squeak and this fixed it.
The unit tests both the pre-filter and inner HEPA filter all the time and will tell you if they get dirty. The only thing I have ever done to the HEPA filter is use the vacuum crevice tool to suck any dust particles off the outside of the filter.
I have NEVER had to replace the HEPA filter on my unit. It came with 3 pre-filters and I use my HEPA vacuum cleaner to suck the dust back out of that while it's still on the round HEPA filter unit. Since I have some pretty bad allergies, I do this with the vacuum cleaner pointed into a steamy bathroom right after a shower so any tiny dust particles get bonded to water molecules. I know that's a pretty anal procedure, but I also have migraine headaches, and after 9 yrs you learn a thing or two.
The first one of these I bought after trying about 5 other small non-HEPA filters. They were a complete waste of money. I went from taking 10 Sudafed a day to none ever in about 3 days. It does take awhile for your system to "unload" all the toxic effects of allergens, but the upside of that is a few hours in a dirty environment won't dose you enough to get you symptomatic as long as you can sleep in a clean environment. If you use it cleverly it will even keep mold out of your house by circulating air all the time. This thing could easily last 20 years with good bearing maintenance.
This is by far the most valuable appliance in my house. I can't imagine the misery I'd be in without it. On low settings it costs almost nothing to run. I rate it ninety two stars. :D
Just buy it and get your life back!!!
Get Those Nasties Right Out of Your Air September 6, 2008
Vesta Irene (the Pacific Northwest)
Don't be satisfied with dirty or dusty air in your home. It can be harmful and unhealthy but with an air cleaner it'll be fresh and filtered just for you. The Honeywell 17000 HEPA QuietCare Air Cleaner is made to operate quietly, so you won't be disturbed as it works. It'll take out all the nasties in the air and leave it healthy as can be. Protect your family from the dangers hidden in the air, this works, really.

Not sure it is helping with my two cats all that much; but it must be doing something because the the dusk bunnies in my bedroom are mostly gone..:-)
 Good Air Cleaner July 27, 2008
Jon S (Chicago)
I have allergy based sinus and asthma problems. Within a day or two of the filter running in our bedroom (with the door closed) I noticed I was sleeping much more soundly. I also wake up much less congested and more well rested. To me that speaks to the efficacy of these filters. As others have mentioned the filter can be loud on the high and medium settings. I like to run the filter on high when I'm not in the room and then keep it on low while I sleep. I would buy this filter again.
Absolutely Great Product July 8, 2008

Several people have commented that this product is too noisy. Either they got a "bad" one - or I got a really good one. With the unit barely 5 feet away from me, and my TV on with just medium volume - I hear absolutely no "mechanical" sound and just a very pleasant "breeze" sound. And that is exactly what this machine is suppose to do - move air.
I even put some essential oil on a cotton ball - hang it in front of the air outlet and the fragrance is "breezed" all over the room. Absolutely Great Product.
