Summary: Ionizer
Comment: My bf and I bought this air filter specifically for the fact we both have asthma and wanted a nice air filter that not only cleaned the air, but would not create ozone. No where in the reviews did it say that it was an ionizer so we bought it. We had it on for one night, it did a great job cleaning the air and was quiet but when I went to go break down the packaging, I noticed teeny tiny print on the bottom of the box that said: warning: includes ionizer that produces ozone. do not use if you have asthma.
We were both quite upset that we didn't see this warning on Amazon before we bought it. Had to return it! False advertising!

Summary: Warning: Deceptive product description, No HEPA, Yes Ionizer
Comment: I reviewed dozens of air purifiers in the search for the best, low-price one with a HEPA filter that did not use Ionizing technology (which appears to be especially risky for people with asthma). I purchased the Honeywell HFD-110 Quietclean Tower thinking I had found the perfect match...
...that is until the package arrived and the fine print on the box said that this was a "HEPA-Type" filter (ie. NOT a HEPA filter, which means not certified to the high standard of a HEPA filter). When you look at the filter up close it looks nothing like the HEPA filters I have seen (not dense at all, quite the opposite).
To make matters worse the HFD-110 IS an Ionizing air purifier (and you cannot turn this feature off), contrary to the Manufacturer's Description which would have you believe otherwise, "Compared to ionic air purifiers, the filter from the HFD-110 captures 12 times more pollutants..."
Look, I think this would otherwise be a decent Ionizing, Generic-Filter Air Purifier if it was presented honestly in the manufacturer's description.
Considering that I was COMPLETELY MISLEAD into buying exactly what I did not want, I will think twice before ever buying a Honeywell product again!

Summary: Ahhhhh!!
Comment: I noticed a difference right away! I have a small studio apartment and once I plugged this into the wall, my air was really clean within hours. I noticed a huge difference with my allergies. I also have a cat so the usual 'cat smell' that can linger was gone. I have friends that are severly allergic to cats, so I tested it out with them. I had the machine on high for about two hours, then invited them over. They had no symptoms in the 3 hours they were there! I definitely recommend this product to anyone that has allergies, or just wishes to breath cleaner, fresher air!

Summary: Okay for the price
Comment: I bought the Quietclean Tower a couple months ago. I like it except for the fact that it is not "quiet" at all. I can sleep with it all night only on the lowest setting. It seems to clean the air well but DOES have a ionizer which I do not remember seeing on the ad. It acts like a fan, which I like as it moves air very well. Other than the sound I think it is a good air cleaner. It captures lots of dust and the filters are easy to clean.

Summary: What a great product!
Comment: I also have a 600.00 air cleaner, with replacement filters twice a year at 60 bucks a shot. It doesn't work NEARLY as effectively as this unit.
Living on a dirt/gravel road with 3 dogs, and a husband in construction, it was a purchase along with a desktop model that was one of the best investment I've made for my home. My living room is considered the 'great room' which also incorporates my kitchen with a bar/island. It's our main living space, and when I clean the unit weekly, it's truly amazing what's in the filters. The minimal amount of 'white noise' it generates is far outweighed by the amount of air purification it delivers, especially in the winter with closed windows and a wood stove. Between the two of them, (the big costly one has been transferred to the bedroom, and is pretty much worthless) I'd buy another Honeywell in an instant.
I just wish you'd sell replacement permanent filters, as I'd love to have spares for both units when I wash them.
