Through the years lots of dust accumulation formed in the vents plus recent construction. I found myself sneezing and dusting  frequently. Once I purchased hepa filter I noticed the difference immediately. My morning and nightly sneezing ceased  and no more weekly dusting! I noticed a difference in my allergies the first night I used this unit and it worked well for about two weeks, but then became very noisy. The instruction manual suggested changing the filter when the unit became noisy.

The filter is supposed to last up to year, so I was puzzled, but ordered a new HEPA filter and pre-filter thinking I may have gotten a defective filter. Same thing happened -- it worked well at first, but after about two weeks the unit became very noisy again. The bedroom is not excessively dusty and I vacuum regularly. I can't afford to replace the filters in this unit every few weeks, so I'm going to return it.air duct cleaning henderson nv Works well, but filter doesn't lastair duct cleaning groupon san franciscoSame thing happened -- it worked well at first, but after about two weeks the unit became very noisy again. dvd lens cleaner cometThe bedroom is not excessively dusty and I vacuum regularly.

I desperately try to avoid cliches, at least at the beginning of reviews.  However, there are times when they’re justifiably called for.  That being said, the Honeywell HHT-145 HEPAClean is the Cadillac of air purifiers. It’s jam packed with features that include a 1-18 hour timer, a UV light for destroying dust mites, an oscillating motor, a permanent filter that never needs to be replaced and an ionizer for added cleaning power.  But with all that comes a $200+ price tag, so the real question is it worth it?  And to answer your question in one word, I can simply respond by saying “yes” or resort to “you bet your allergen induced, sneezing, watery eyes” it without a doubt works. The Honeywell HHT-145 uses a HEPA filter ,and in a time past you had to replace these about once a year depending on use.  Not with this model.  It includes a HEPA filter that can simply be vacuumed and put back in the machine as if it were brand new.  That alone has to account for some significant cost savings, at least in the long term.  

So suffice to say that is a big plus in my book since I hate to invest in a product that I’ll only have to dump more money into to make it effective (I own a canister vacuum in case you were wondering). As with other Honeywell air purifiers this one include an odor filter.  I opted not to use mine since I have some of those scented sticks in my bedroom to keep it smelling like vanilla.   What can I say, it’s better than day old socks or that inevitable room smell you get if you’re a guy.   At first blush the Honeywell HHT-145 looks like a fan and rightfully so.  In addition to a 1-18 hour timer, there is an oscillatation button which rotates the fan about 200 degrees, maybe more, from left to right, ensuring that more of the room’s air gets pushed around and freshened up.  There is also an optional UV light, which if you didn’t know kills dust mites, bacteria and viruses.   I’m not sure why you wouldn’t just leave this feature on.   Although, I should note that a relatively bright blue LED is illuminated when this feature is in the on position.  

It’s bright enough to light up a dark room and if you’re sensitive like me, disturb you at night during sleeping hours. Honeywell says that the HHT-145 HEPA Clean air purifier is capable of circulating the room’s air up to 5 times per hour.  Of course this figure will vary depending on your room size and Honeywell doesn’t really say how large of room they’re referring to, but given the fan’s speed, which has a good amount of variance, I don’t see why not assume that applies to the average size bedroom.   That being said, the fan, though billed as whisper quiet, isn’t what I’d call it, at least at the highest setting.  Furthermore, at the lower settings, when the frequency of the fan is less, the whole thing rattles and creeks a bit, forcing me to to turn it up beyond 50% power.  But hey, it’s a fan, not a radio, so by all accounts it’s decibel output is more than tolerable, just don’t expect it to push air around and not be heard from. Unfortunately, the Honeywell HHT-145 has to be a few feet from the wall to be effective.  

Fortunately, it’s white facade makes it blend in with my bedroom’s surroundings – I have white walls – but I’d rather stick it in the corner and forget it were there.  Though, it is rather large, as in tall, in size, at least compared to the last Honeywell air purifier I reviewed, so it’s a bit more difficult to hide it. As with any air purifier it’s always a bit tough to gauge how effective it really is. In my last Honeywell review I noticed a significant drop in dust collection throughout my room. The Honeywell HHT-145 HEPAClean Germ Reducing Air Purifier, needless to say, has the same impact and then some, though because I can’t see viruses and bacteria, I can only speak to my health, or should I say lack of getting sick.  That said I continue to wake up without a stuffy nose and notice that my overall sleep as well energy has improved.  Sure, it might be psychosematic, but can’t that be said for anything. Bottom Line: The Honeywell HHT-145 HEPA Clean air purifier is the Cadillac of air purifiers.
