Honeywell has always put out good products. The HFD-010 exceeded my expectations and makes for a good size air purifier for any room. It is not the biggest unit, and it does not have a lot of features for various control (just two speeds). On high speed, it took in a lot of air. Works well for hallways, bathrooms, and for kitchens, especially if you have pets or cooking smells that linger throughout the house. I also like the idea of it having a permanent filter.

I recommend this product. But if you want more options for speeds, you might want a bigger unit.

I bought this because I have a cat with asthma (yes, I said a cat with asthma). My vet recommended I get an air purifier for her to cut down on her attacks. My kitty is just a doll and I'll do anything for her. She loves to sit in front of this because I think it helps her breathe. So far she seems to have less attacks in the bedroom where this is so I'll be getting the bigger one for the living room. My bedroom is small - 10x11' so I think this is a good size for a small room. I also like that it doesn't put out that funny smell some of the more expensive air purifiers do. I recommend it - I just wish it was a tad cheaper.

We have two dogs in the house and this unit cleans the air in a 1200 sq. ft. house and the house is free of dog or other odors

I bought this for two reasons: one, to get rid of some of the allergens and dust from the air; and two, to help get rid of the cigar smoke in the house. I smoke cigars, and even with windows open it takes forever to clear the air of the smell. While not perfect, this does help with both. The fact the filter is washable and permanent was a big selling point for me. The house smells a bit better for it as well.

We bought this for our 12X15 computer room. I smoke and it is the only room in the house where this is allowable.
No filters to replace, whisper quiet on low setting and the air stays fresh. This unit is an ozone ionizer - this does not produce a harmful 'gas', (as suggested in a previous review.) Dust and smoke is trapped in the electrically charged metal fins of the main filter and the dispelled air molecules are altered by the current - much like the air after a freshening rain storm.
There is a pre-filter which traps larger particles. It can be cleaned with water. The main filter can be vacuumed clean. If it becomes too dirty you can soak it in soapy water.
No replacement of filters is needed ! Hi speed creates a mild humming but in this smaller room we always have it set on low.
We are completely satisfied with this product.
