Honeywell Air Purifier - 50250 Review

Hi

have a great personal experience with this unit. This is a HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) purifier, highly rated by many independent reviewer panels such as consumer reports and consumer search. Many of us like to spend as little money as possible and buy the best product in the world. Unfortunately, that is unlikely to happen. It is more important to balance your needs with your spendings.

If there is one thing I must advocate in shopping air purifiers is to take note at the CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) numbers. A CADR value indicates the rate of clean air generated by a purifier and the number is independently certified by AHAM (Association of Home Appliance Manufactures). A 100 CADR purifier can deliver 100 cubic feet of clean air in 1 minute.

First thing first, this purifier is a real HEPA purifier with a 250 CADR rating. A HEPA filter has a 99.97% capture rate for particles that is 0.3 micrometer. Due to aerodynamic capture mechanism, a HEPA filter usually has a higher or equal capture rate for particles that are larger and particles that are slightly lower -- down to 0.01 micrometer. This includes the usual airborne allergens like pollen, seasonal allergies fine dust and smoke particles. Purifiers marketed as "HEPA-type" are not HEPA and fall short of its requirement. Next, not all HEPA purifiers perform the same. This is because HEPA only specifies the particle capture rate of the filter, but if air is not flowing properly through the filter, then it does nothing. An extreme example is an idle HEPA purifier, which has no cleaning power. Most purifiers under $200 have leaks around the HEPA filter, so majority of the air bypass the filter. Honeywell 50250 has minimal air leak, therefore all air moves through its HEPA filter and is purified -- an important point verified by several air purifier reviews.

This is the best air purifier i had used. No problem for cleaning,very easy to use. Very light weight with a good brand.

  Try once and i am sure you will never use any other air purifier. I had paid $165 for it
