Customer Reviews:
Works Great!
Had this thing for a couple months now, and it works great. Loud, yes - on medium or high. Solution - we run it when we're at work, and when we're sleeping upstairs. When we're in the room, it's on low or turned off.

The reduction in dust in our living room is significant, especially considering the space exceeds the maximum rating for the machine. Cuts down on allergies, stuffy nose, etc - overall works great. You can see from the accumulation on the pre-filter what the machine has saved you from breathing in. Well worth the money.

Relief after living next to a quarry....
I moved out to a condo that is less than 2 miles from a rock quarry in the Azusa CA area. As a result, every time I run the AC, or open a window, nearly everything nearby is coated in a fine, gritty patina of dust. Lately this has been affecting my sleep the point that I'm waking up with a horrible raspy throat and runny nose. I decided to purchase this model for my living room and the Quietcare 17000 for my bedroom to see if I could improve the overall air quality in the condo and also minimize my issues that I was having going to sleep. I've had them for about a week now and I have to say the improvement is indeed quite noticeable.

The air feels noticeably fresher and cleaner, I can't really describe it any other way. The odors from the adjoining kitchen (food, smoke, trashcan, recycling bin, etc) are effectively absorbed by this unit and the built-in fan circulates the air quite nicely as well. Sleep at night has also gotten better as well. I'm no longer waking up at night with a mouth and sinus cavity full of gunk and my throat is not nearly as sore as it used to be.

I'd say the only downside is that the "Turbo" and "Home" settings (High and Medium for you and me) are noticeably, well...there's no way to mince words with this...they're freaking loud. Particularly Turbo. I'd say you can only really use these settings if you say leave for the day and not have anyone in the immediate vicinity of this device because at those levels the noise is quite overpowering and I doubt anyone could really do anything in the same room as this filter while it's on its maximum fan settings.

Other than the leafblower levels of noise with its max fan settings, this is a fine HEPA air cleaner for your residence. The 384 sq feet of coverage is fantastic, it actually circulates the air in the room very well, and will allow you to improve the air quality inside your home very nicely. The permanent filter and the ability to clean it without outright replacing it is a welcome feature in today's tough economy.

good product, good price
We purchased the Honeywell 50250 several weeks ago after a fair amount of research. The filter works as promised. We both noticed great relief from allergies and sleep better too. It is a bit on the noisy side, we have it on low at night, and have gotten used to it. No problems at all.
