so far so good
With only 90 days of use, can only say 'so far ,so good'.
Pretty much as advertised(with the exception that it is fairly noisey.)
If you have need for ultra-violet germ fighting light(which you can turn off&on),washable ionic filter then this will fit your needs..
Considering its barreled/odd shape & rather large size, placement is a minor issue.Small...

Works Great, but Misleading
The unit works ... but it is advertised as being quiet and being able to work for rooms of the described size. Well, it is either one or the other. If you set it to the recommended speed for a larger room, the is very loud. If you set it to the quietest setting, it only circulates the air in the recommended room size every couple of days.
I normally...

so far so good, January 11, 2007
This review is from: Honeywell HFD-135 Permanent IFD UV Antibacterial Air Purifier (Kitchen)
With only 90 days of use, can only say 'so far ,so good'.
Pretty much as advertised(with the exception that it is fairly noisey.)
If you have need for ultra-violet germ fighting light(which you can turn off&on),washable ionic filter then this will fit your needs..
Considering its barreled/odd shape & rather large size, placement is a minor issue.Small complaint but assume necessary to design..
Be aware that is does deposit some dust etc.on adjacent walls.
However:Filter washes nicely..
Ease of maintenance.
Now if it gives long term service would say it deserves 5 stars.

I leave it running all day!, November 9, 2006
This review is from: Honeywell HFD-135 Permanent IFD UV Antibacterial Air Purifier (Kitchen)
I own the other Honeywell air pufier that looks similar to this unit but it is in white and LOVE it. So, when this upgrade came out, I decided to give it a go...esp because it had UV as well. I leave it running all day and night and it keeps the air feeling pure and clean. It is quiet and smooth. I am now considering buying a 3rd (an addition HFD135) for my family room. Highly recommended!

Big, Loud, but makes a difference, March 27, 2007
This review is from: Honeywell HFD-135 Permanent IFD UV Antibacterial Air Purifier (Kitchen)
The difference in the air quality is noticable. I haven't tried to clean it yet, but it looks like it shouldn't be too difficult. One gripe is the blue led's. Would be nice to turn them off but still use the functionality (especially since they are purely for decoration)

I normally leaving it running on high when I am not home to scrub the room, but as soon as I come home, I put it back on low because it makes too much noise.

i love it, May 13, 2007
This review is from: Honeywell HFD-135 Permanent IFD UV Antibacterial Air Purifier (Kitchen)
i live in an old apartment and have dogs, this thing works 100%, i turn it on when i'm not home and when i come back, my allergies are diminished greatly. expensive, but it works and no cleaning required.
it is noisy though, but at least it offers white noise, my neighbors are loud sometimes, and the white noise drains out their noise.
overall 5 stars! highly recommended

Very Effective in Reducing Pollen, April 17, 2007
This review is from: Honeywell HFD-135 Permanent IFD UV Antibacterial Air Purifier (Kitchen)
Live in Southern CA where Spring brings me terrible allergy symptoms. Unit greatly reduces my symptoms - as effective as medication. My wife also indicates less snoring - cheaper than surgery! Writing this review as I order our third unit. Highly recommended.

A nice filter unit, November 4, 2007
This review is from: Honeywell HFD-135 Permanent IFD UV Antibacterial Air Purifier (Kitchen)
I got the Honeywell HFD135 one year ago for my studio apartment in New York City, shared by two people and a cat. The apartment faces a street and has no central air-conditioning. We also cook in the kitchen. The improvement in the air quality was amazing in the first few days after the purifier was installed. The air felt "clean". Just like tasting bottled water (after)against chlorinated tap water(before), the difference was evident.
The filter has reduced the smell from the cat litter. My allergy symptom to pollen was reduced in the spring time. The air intake on the bottom of the unit traps a layer of cat hair and dust that can be vacuumed away. The effectiveness of the UV lamp cannot be seen, and it was manually switched off anyway. The fan noise can be heard at night even at low setting, but I understand the filter won't work without sufficient air flow. For people who are very sensitive to noise, this can be a problem. But for people like me living in NYC, the street noise is much louder so I don't mind the filter at all.
The IFD filter can be easily cleaned periodically by either vacuuming, or rinsing in water and dry. The only problem is that after a few months of use, dust began to gather around the bottom area of the unit as well as on the fan. The fan grills cannot be removed, so these places are not easily accessible and regular vacuum cannot reach. When the bottom air intake is blocked, the filter would become much less effective.
The air purifier works really well. The only flaw that I can tell over time is the difficult cleaning above and below the central filter. Still five stars for the improvement of the air quality.

Awesome1, October 21, 2008
This review is from: Honeywell HFD-135 Permanent IFD UV Antibacterial Air Purifier (Kitchen)
I love this product! My husband and I both have allergies and asthma, and 2 small dogs. We have the filter in our bedroom and I could tell a difference right away. We own two other Honeywell filters as well and this is my favorite one by far because there is no expensive filters to buy. For those of you who think this product is loud, you haven't had many air purifiers. It's not extreamly quiet but this one rates as one of the quietest even when on high!

Virtually Useless, LOUD, April 3, 2010
This review is from: Honeywell HFD-135 Permanent IFD UV Antibacterial Air Purifier (Kitchen)
It doesn't work well. I've followed the instructions exactly, and made sure all electrical contacts on the filter unit were clean (wiped off carefully with a slightly moistened cloth, let to dry for several hours), but it has almost no effect with large clay-like dust particles or dorm-room smells in a 130 square foot room. We get virtually no air circulation- radiator heating. It's ineffective on smells even on High after continuous usage for several days. There's almost nothing visible that washes out when the filter is cleaned (by vacuuming AND then water washing-no soaps) within three days of when the indicator suggests to do so. It is allowed to dry for several hours, per the instruction manual. I'm very picky about following instructions.
It's loud. I'd forgive it if it worked at filtering, which it doesn't. However, I can hear it (on Medium and High) easily through a solid-core wood door and fibreglass insulated walls, which blocks almost all dorm-sounds (which are significant). And it almost drowns, out (on Low settings) rather loud computer fans.The sound is only that of loud airflow, so I can't imagine that the fan itself is broken.
However, I have confidence that the germicidal lamps do work. That's something. The fan is reliable, so I can probably salvage that for some DIY project. And it really looks kind of nice, considering that it's an air purifier. I give it two stars for that.
I replaced it (after giving it 6 months to work itself out) with a Honeywell 18155 SilentComfort (which has no germicidal lamps). That one got rid of the smells all in less than an hour, and on High it's much quieter on High than even the Low settings on this HFD-135.
Overall, thumbs down.
