5.0 out of 5 stars Lifesaver (or at least marriage saver), February 3, 2006

My wife loves her cats (multiple), and her dogs (also multiple); she mostly tolerates the kids and me. This winter my allergies were reaching critical mass. My wife gave me this Air Purifier for our room, as a Christmas present, and it has been amazing. One side note, the device puts out a good deal of white noise, personally, I like that, as it helps me sleep, others might find it annoying. My next step is to get them for every other room.
I highly recommend this product.

Update...
This unit worked fine for about a year, then it just died.
While it was worth the cost for the service it did provide, I was a bit disappointed in the durability.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievably Noisy, Fussy and Unstable, March 14, 2006

The tower arrived and the first thing I noticed is that it was wobbly. Then the directions listed all the things you had to do for it to operate safely - a certain distance from the wall, the possibility it could stain the floor under it, could not be on an extension cord, could not be in a bathroom - which is where I wanted it so it could handle litter box odor. I continued setting it up as directed, removing the filters from the plastic, etc. Then it said to run it for a little while on high before adjusting it, so I did - I thought. After about 20 minutes, I tried turning the very noisy fan down, only to discover that it was already on the lowest setting. (I could hear it at the opposite end of the house when it was on low!)

So, it makes far too much noise, is very unstable and could easily fall over if bumped, it might stain your floors, and needs to be very close to an outlet, even though it can't be against a wall. The decision is yours!

FYI, I returned mine and was charged the postage for it. Good Luck!

2.0 out of 5 stars Too noisy even on lowest setting, March 26, 2006

This review is unfortunately incomplete, since the unit was so noisy to me (even on the lowest setting) that I ended up returning it to the store within a few hours.
The unit seemed to have all the features I was looking for, I'm going to try another (different) Honeywell model with similiar features in the store and see what the noise level is.
