It is very nice and fits into any room of my house just fine.I bought two air cleaners at the same time to get a feel for what I want/need in my home. In addition to this item, I bought Winix PlasmaWave 5300 Air Cleaner Model.I opened the Honeywell first and placed it in my bedroom. After reading the instructions, I put it on setting 4 and told it to oscillate in my bedroom. I typically sleep with a fan (sometimes a white noise machine if it is too cold), but this unit was audible even over those sound sources.

It is audible everywhere in the room and doesn't adjust at all on its own. honeywell air purifier auWhen we woke, I admit that we both felt better than we had the last month or so. edelbrock 305 air cleanerThe smell was better, you could see less dust in the sunlight, and the unit was still chugging along just fine.air vent cleaning grouponThe next night, I tried the Winix. The Winix unit was significantly quieter. While it isn't quite as appealing visually, it seems to function much stronger. The Winix has a visual sensor to show what type of air quality it detects and adjusts the fan speed and technology used accordingly. At the lowest setting, the Winix uses 9W of power and is almost silent. It is impossible for me to hear from five feet or more away.

The sleep mode on the Winix kept it quiet through the night as well - no sounds competing with my other audio sources.I'm happier with the Winix, but if you're looking for a specific use for an air cleaner, you can set the Honeywell to a strong setting, oscillate it, etc. It looks nicer as well. For constant use in your house, get the Winix.Read more › See all 404 customer reviews (newest first)Have only had a short time yet it's made a vast difference in our home (two cats, dust). Great for allergy sufferers. Easy to clean and very quiet. Very poorly designed unit. Does not filter as well as it claims and does not last.Let’s start with filtering.Highly Recommend this unit and plan to add another to our home. After seeing this in our house, several friends have purchased one also. I bought two of these to clear my air of the marijuana that my neighbors smoke day in and out. I placed one in my living room and one in the bedroom. My bedroom is approx. 12x10. DO NOT ORDER THIS VERY POORLY CONSTRUCTED UNIT!!!!!!

After just 4 months of use and the unit's fan bearing died. At first it seemed ok. We cool had the blue light and rotated a good amount... Over time the speed of the fan slowed dramatically.This is my first air cleaner and quite frankly, I wasn’t too sure how I was going to check it out.  However, thanks to Mother Nature and the mother of all pollen seasons, the AirGenius5 from Kaz USA was working overtime, and it did just fine.  If you think this is an endorsement of the product, you might be surprised.  What I needed at my home was a device that would help with pollen accumulation that was causing runny noses.  I suppose we could have air-conditioned the whole house, but that was a little beyond my budget.  An air cleaner seemed to be the best option, so reviewing the AirGenius5 seemed like a good idea. The top of the unit has touch controls for the functions.  These were hit or miss for activation.  The 5 “purification” levels simply run the fan at incrementally increasing speeds, pushing air through the permanent filter.  

The air coming out of the cleaner is passed through an ionized field.  Touching the oscillate button rotates the air cleaner about 15 degrees side to side on the base. The heart of the device is a permanent washable HEPA filter.  This is augmented by a foam insert in the back cover which can be replaced with a charcoal impregnated pre-filter.  The pre-filter is claimed to remove odors, but I didn’t notice any difference between the two.  Then again, my house doesn’t stink 🙂 The above shot shows the unit with full ambient lighting.  I suppose there are individuals that need their air cleaner to have adjustable lighting.  It doesn’t add anything to make the device work any better, cheaper or faster. Because of communication issues with the supplier of the device, I had two months of use before I could write a review.  We really put it to the test.  This year in New Hampshire, we have suffered one of the most intense tree pollen seasons ever.  This is the yellow stuff that comes from pine trees.  I

t leaves layers on the cars, driveways and any horizontal surface in the house.  It was in full swing about a week before the AirGenius5 arrived. Before we fired up the air cleaner, we did a fairly deep cleaning of the house, especially the surfaces that attracted the pollen.  Normally it was only a day or two before the dust was noticeable.  After running the AirGenius5 for over a week, we noticed there was hardly any visible dust/pollen on the horizontal surfaces.  What was more surprising is that the unit is only rated to work for a room size of 100-300 sq ft and we were using it in an area of  over 500 sq ft.  We did take the advice given in the manual to run it 24/7, which begs the question: why is there a timer? The unit runs quietly, even at the highest setting, which is what we leave it at.  Although the filter indicator on the panel was only 3/5 lit, we decided to clean the permanent filter.  This was accomplished by running it under the faucet until the water came out clear and then letting it completely dry in the sun.  T
