Amazon.com Review:
Recent reports from the EPA estimate that the indoor environment may be two to five times as polluted as outdoor air--and since most Americans spend 90% of their time indoors, that poor air quality can produce harmful immune-system reactions. An essential for anyone with allergies or asthma, this Honeywell air cleaner uses patented technology to rid the home or office of dust, dander, pollen, mold spores, dust mites, and smoke. Specially designed air intake and exhaust grills and a specially designed blade produce maximum airflow and minimum noise, while a high-efficiency HEPA filter traps more than 99% of even the tiniest particles. Sound-reducing insulation further dampens operational noise, and the Intelli-Check electronic indicator lets you know when it’s time to change filters. Three power levels let you customize air cleaning to your own needs. The Honeywell 17000 changes all the air in an average 12- by 14-foot room six complete times an hour. It has a robust Clear Air Delivery Rate (CADR) of 130 for tobacco smoke, pollen, and dust, indicating the volume of filtered air delivered and thus the speed of filtering. --Mary Park

Works Great!
When I bought this purifier, I don't think my husband, and therefore, myself, had slept through the night in over a month. He has asthma, allergies, and sinuses, and something in our house was giving him fits. We do have carpet, and we got it cleaned around the same time this came in, so I can't contribute the restful nights all to the purifier, but after the first night using it, we could definitely tell a difference. After a week... no more sleepless nights. It works great! It is loud on the high setting, but so is our air conditioner and heater, so it doesn't bother either one of us, but if you're worried about it, you can just put it on low or medium for the night. All in all, highly recommended. Great product for the price!

I recently discovered that I have severe dust mite allergies. I found this on amazon and noticed good reviews so I purchased it. Everything everyone said about it is true. I notice less dust in the room, it feels cleaner somehow, and I wake up with less eye irritation. The only bummer is that it is fairly loud on the highest setting and it makes the room a little colder. If I could afford it though, I would purchase it for other rooms despite the noise and cold.
Great little workhorse
I owned the Honeywell 17000 for 10 years- since '99- and it finally broke a few months ago. It came reccomended by my allergist-- cost effective and good for a small space. It was a reliable, hard working unit-- I moved 5 times (+?) with it, abused it by not changing the outer filter as requently as it needed and have a cat! I decided to replace the unit with the 17005 as it's programmable with remote. So far, so good...
Yes the 17000 and 17005 create a white noise, air pushing sound, which I like anyway (kills noises for sleeping), but it's not deafening, and if it bothers you throw it in the corner of the room; it will cycle the air the same. I would disagree that it's as loud as an a/c-- those things roar!
Anyway, these two websites might help you make your decision, too.

Instant relief!!
This was such a simple fix to several problems, sinus pressure and difficulty sleeping, and feeling brainless and singing was pure torture. I was using many otc and herbal remedies to little success. What sleep I would get I would not awaken refreshed from. Sinuses would still be sore and I felt listless and thick headed.
Somehow I managed to think of how dirty the air is after 10 months of no rain and gave this unit a try. The first night alone aleviated much of the sinus pressure........then I could sleep better. I find the low setting no problem to sleep to, and I sleep light. After a few days I could sing easily, instead of trying to sing thru the concrete wall of my sinuses..when my voice would jump in my nose or crack in my throat as I had no control.
As I still have to work outside a few hours each day, I sometimes get a bit of sinus pressure so I use Sinus Buster when I feel that.
I wake up with EVERGY starting my outside chorse at 5:30 AM. Before I'd drag until 6-7. I knew it should help, but I had no idea how much.
Honeywell 17000 HEPA QuietCare Air Cleaner
This is the third Honeywell Hepa Air Cleaner that I have purchased. The first was at a regular retail store and the last two were here at Amazon. As a severe allergy and asthma sufferer, I need more than meds, filters on our house heating & air unit and other measures to contain my allergy outbreaks. I keep one of the Honeywell units in the masterbedroom, one in the den and the other is a "floater" for whichever area is needed. The filter is easy to change and I have not yet had to change any hepa filters (the oldest one is several years old!).
I definitely would recommend this product to anyone looking for an Air Cleaner. It does all that it promises and more.
