1.0 out of 5 stars Useless, March 19, 2006

This review is from: Honeywell Enviracare 60000 Tower Air Purifier with IFD Filter (Kitchen)

I purchased this air filter a few weeks ago. Apart from being very noisy, it was totally ineffective. After running for two weeks, the filter still has not collected any dust! I didn't research enough before buying an air purifier, but now realize that HEPA is the only way to go if you actually want to purify your air, not just move it around.

UPDATE

As a replacement purifier I purchased the Honeywell 17000 HEPA QuietCare Air Cleaner (see my review of this product). It works much better and actually removes particles etc from the air really well.

I tried selling my IFD fiter on E-Bay but no one would buy it - not even for 3 dollars! What a POS!

1.0 out of 5 stars DISSATISFIED, AM RETURNING BOTH ITEMS PURCHASED!!!, June 13, 2006

This review is from: Honeywell Enviracare 60000 Tower Air Purifier with IFD Filter (Kitchen)

This is my first purchase on Amazon and I am satisfied with the timely delivery of my purchased product. However, I am very dissatisfied with the quality of this product. First, the removable rear casing, which allows access to the filter, does not fit properly on both units I purchased. Once the rear casing is removed it takes some force to get it back into place. Secondly, Amazon promotes this product to operate with "whisper-quiet operation". This statement is a farce. This product produces much more noise than my upright rotary house fan, both in the turbo setting and the quiet setting. I have made the mistake of purchasing two (2) of these Honeywell Enviracare 60000 Tower Air Purifiers for my family. I will not make the mistake of keeping them and will be returning them very shortly. This product is best used as a stationary low speed fan. Please note, in both the turbo and quiet settings this item does not produce the ionization & filtration that you expect when comparing this item with other similar items retailing at the same MSRP listing. Third, this products filter is not sanitary. The filter is of a honeycomb designed column that when cleaning you merely tap out the debris, vacuum and replace for further use. The core of this filter is impossible to access for thorough cleaning. Again, I can't believe the fact that this product claims to operate under "whisper-quiet operation" and it is hard to believe that Honeywell and Amazon dare to promote this item as being able to retail for $179.00. I am not being paid to criticize this product and am an independent consumer who thinks people should know the facts of this product.

2.0 out of 5 stars A bit too noisy, May 28, 2006

The unit is a bit too noisy, so much that it is very annoying if not on the low setting (but still noisy). I've had it several months, and have found it to be reliable, but not that good of a cleaner. It is a bit large, but not heavy. It's probably best for a room in which you wish to circulate air, with a small bit of purifying needed.
