have suffered from allergies all of my life, but especially the last few years, they have constantly worsened. I began researching air purifiers because my medications weren't helping enough on their own.
I ended up deciding on this unit for my living room/dining area. I have been very satisfied with this unit.
I purchased it about one year ago and it has not given me any problems. I have had to change the pre-filters a few times (you usually have to change them every three months or so) but have not yet had to change the HEPA filter. I like the way this system has what it calls Intellicheck which lets you know when it is time for the filters to be changed, as well as the way that it has the 360 degree technology. The unit looks kind of like a barrel so that the clean air flows out of the top all around it. I don't notice a cleaner air smell like I have heard people talk about, but I can definitely tell a difference in my allergy symptoms when I am running my air cleaners or not. And when I put my Hamilton Beach air cleaner in the living room which has an auto setting that detects the air quality, it had the air rated as being good from the beginning, which I believe is due to the Honeywell 50250 which had been running 24/7 a few days prior to that since the Hamilton Beach air cleaner in my room had the air quality as poor when I turned it on the auto setting. The machine has a white noise to it, but I have not experienced any problems not hearing the television or not being able to nap in the living room while it is on.
