Review on 🍯 Honeywell HPA100 HEPA Air Purifier: Powerful Medium Room Solution (155 sq. ft) - Black by Jason Hayes

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Preferably. Air cleaner. Is always. Serious.

I am allergic to grass, most trees, dust and some common molds. I've tried several air purifiers over the years to combat this. Honeywell's HPA series is by far the best of them all. I have 3 HPA100 (two children's rooms + my office), 1 HPA200 (master bedroom) and 1 HPA300 (living room/kitchen). They all work 24 hours a day, seven days a week to keep me alive and well. Seriously, these are the best. They get louder when the filters need replacing, but I guess that's just physics. I've never had a cleaner who didn't do this. Don't underestimate pre-filters! Make sure you change them often enough. DO NOT just vacuum them up; I've tried this several times in the past and each time it has rendered the filter incredibly inefficient. You must install a NEW activated carbon filter as activated carbon filters many harmful chemicals (VOCs)! When my hands are really, really dry, the buttons don't respond well to touch. This is easy to solve with two fingers instead of one! And finally, the light can be dimmed or switched off completely. It's a surprisingly nice touch since we use them as pseudo night lights in the kids' rooms and turn off the light in our bedroom. If you can afford it, be sure to choose a model that has front intake and exhaust. above since you only need to view one side horizontally. It's MUCH easier to work with in any room than those that suck in from the back and blow out from the front because then you have to make sure there's a clear path to the back and front. All in all, this is a fantastic cleanser. Buy additional filters now so they can be replaced.

Pros
  • Heating, cooling and air quality
Cons
  • Non-automatic
