Honeywell QuietCare 17000

Pros: Easy to clean exterior

Cons: Noisy, undependable, ineffective

The Bottom Line: This noisy, ineffective unit isn't worth the price.

Review: We recently moved to a new house located just off a dusty dirt road. Add two dogs to the mix, and you can just imagine the dirty air I must contend with.

I've never used an air cleaner before, but decided I just HAD to do something. In...

Pros: Portable, permanent HEPA filter, helped my evening stuffiness

Cons: Pre-filter needs to be replaced, too loud on medium & high speeds

The Bottom Line: Helps clean the air in our bedroom so I am not congested, makes room smell cleaner

Review: Seasonal allergies have affected me since I was 18 years old. Luckily, I have them mostly under control by taking 2000 mg of a supplement called MSM daily. However, I have noticed this year, although I feel good during the day, I have been very...

Pros: Works Excellent! Easy to Use!

Cons: None known

The Bottom Line: I've been using this air cleaner for well over a year now without any problems. It's still a honey of a air cleaner!!

Review: I am updating this review (originally written Oct. 2000) because this little air cleaner has been running for over a year now without any problems! It's still quiet and effective.

My doctor told me to buy it! After numerous sinus...

Pros: Immediate Noticeable Air Improvement

Cons: Somewhat Large

Review: Our doctor recommended this model and we found it at a great price at Costco. He said it would not only clean our air, but it would also reduce our Northern California humidity indoors. He was right!

I used to wake up with a runny nose most...

Pros: Quiet and inconspicuous

Cons: none

Review: My wife suffers from allergies, and before we bought the Honeywell model 17000 air cleaner, she would go for weeks having trouble sleeping because of the coughing and sneezing.

The night we "installed" the air cleaner, she got a good night...

Pros: Works great, filters out pollen, dust, molds, and pet dander.

Cons: Expensive HEPA filter replacement at $70.

The Bottom Line: Very effective for cleaning air of allergens, worth the price to be able to breathe again.

Review: Well, with allergy season just around the corner, I decided it was time to look into one of these air purifiers. Not only am I allergic to pollen, but I?m also sensitive to dust and somewhat allergic to our beloved cat. It was more money than I...

Pros: Really does clean the air

Cons: huge increase in electrical bill !!!

The Bottom Line: Buy it, if you can afford to run it 24/7, otherwise you might want to check out an Ionizer

Review: These air cleaners really do work very well, we purchased 3 of them, 1 for each occupied bedroom. The operational cost of these air cleaners however is astronomical, this year compared to last year our electrical bill has consistently been 50%-68%...

Pros: Seems to clean the air.

Cons: Strange chemical odor from pre-filter.

Review: I believe the air cleaner is working, but it's hard to tell. It gives off a strange chemical odor and has for the several months I've been running it (continuously at first). I no longer use it because of this. I contacted Honeywell, and they...

Pros: My lungs feel like a teenager again

Cons: none

The Bottom Line: What you can't see will hurt you! Clean your air! Your lungs will thank you for a long long time.

Review: About a year and half ago I developed breathing problems. I was short of breath and my nose was always stuffed up no matter what time of year it was and I had a very painful dry cough all of the time. I went to a doctor, actually several doctors,...

Pros: Packaged well.

Cons: Noisier Than a small plane!

Review: The Honeywell 17000 claims it is 30% more quiet than ever before. If that's the case, their previous models must have sounded like a jet engine! This is the noisiest and most annoying of all the models I tried and Honeywell went back to the store...
