This was given to me as a gift. It worked great for three days. Then I decided to move it into the bedroom. Turned it off, unplugged it, moved it to the bedroom, plugged it in....can NOT turn it on again. Have tried plugging it into every electrical outlet in the apartment--nada. The power light will blink a few times and then that's it. Called the company like the box instructed (specifically told to call if there are problems rather than returning the air cleaner to the store). Customer service was stumped after telling me to check to be sure the filters were in place, that the back grill was in place, and that I'd pushed the power button. She told me to bring it back to the store. Well, it was a gift, the store and the receipt are both over 500 miles away and this just sucks all around. Will never choose Honeywell again.

I use this product in the bedroom. It freshens the air that my wife breathes in. She has chest cold and I decided to use UV antibacterial. It helped placebo or for-real it worked for her chest cold to go away. I let it on at 3 or 6 of 12 level setting of power 24 hours 7 days. So far electricity bill isn't any different than before and air is really fresh.

I purchased this unit from Target/Amazon about a month ago. It works very well. First off this is our situation. We already have a electrostatic filter for the home heating system, hardwoods and the only carpets we have is high grade. We always take off our shoes when in our house. The reason we got the unit is because we have two cats. :-) The first thing I noticed is when the unit is in the cats room there is no odor at all, completely gone. But the unit is quite large for a single room. I think it is a bit under rated. I moved it to our living room and ran it on medium for 4 weeks. First thing we noticed is that, when I painted one room in our house you could not smell the paint unless you are actually in that room. Second thing we noticed is that when we went to vacuum our electrostatic filter for the main heating system there was no dust. We figured it would be all in the heppa filter of the Honeywell but was not a lot there either. I think the ionizer makes the dust drop to the floor and is picked up by the vacuum cleaner. Just checked our electrostatic filter again and it is still spotless. Looking through the beam of a flashlight I see no dust at all in the beam. My wife also mentioned that there is much less dust on surfaces now. Does this unit work, oh yeah. The CZF-145 charcoal filter is $25 at www.kaz.com, according to specs it only last 3 months. Seems a bit pricey. One thing I don't understand is that if it has an IONIZER why do I not have access to the blades or are there any in there? Don't know and don't care as long as it keeps going.
