I didn't want to think it helped right away, but it did! I felt like all I heard from my Doctor was, allergies, allergies, allergies! I decided finally it was time to get a good air purifier for my home. I did not want to get a cheapy, so I browsed around until I found one that did it all. I put my Air Purifier in the Living Room where I spend most of my relaxation time, spent 2-3 hours in the room, and the next day I felt pretty amazing. In nearly 24 hours, I noticed a dramatic difference in the way I breathe, and the dark circles under my eyes from chronic sinusitis started to disappear. The dark circles made me look tired and sickly. I continued to use it over a few more days and I am very happy with it and it's results. I highly recommend this product to anyone who suffers from year round allergies, or even a seasonal allergy sufferer that just can't figure out "What else should I clean?" "What else is there to get rid of?" It is worth it!!

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!

I had very high expectations for this as it is made by Honeywell, a trusted name. The unit features a UV light which is supposed to help kill bacteria, and more for even cleaner air. I did not like the unit because of the smell it produced. The fan is quite silent on low, but too loud on high. When I leave it on all day, and with the door closed, I come back to find a "burnt plasticy" smell. Very hard to describe, but there is a smell, and I could not tolerate it. I sent it back for a replacement and the 2nd one did the exact same. Might be the fan motor heating up and releasing some of the plastic smell, I am not sure. There is an annoying whizz sound from the motor that is audible also when on high. Both units were returned back to Amazon. They took care of it quickly and easy! The unit is made for a room up to 150 sq ft, and is a lot bigger in person that the picture makes you believe. I would compare the size to a small desktop pc. When you turn on the UV function, a blue rim will light up on the top for an aesthetic effect, but does nothing else. You cannot turn it off unless you turn off the UV feature. Not good for light sleepers who are bothered by light and noise. I cannot recommend this product because I feel there is a major design flaw. The unit's filter should have been sealed air tight to preserve the integrity of the filter materials. Some of the Styrofoam smell got adsorbed into the filter and you can smell it when you turn the machine on. I recommend you spend a little more and buy a Rabbit Air BioGS. That thing is quiet and has been working for me brilliantly!
