Tools and Hardware Reviews of Honeywell 17000 HEPA QuietCare Air Cleaner
Customer Review: 9yrs of Perfection
Summary: 5 Stars
My model 17440 is now 9 yrs old and still going strong. All of these machines make noise, so get the biggest one you can and run it on a low setting. Personally, the noise level in my apt is rather high and the white noise this machine generates is a big help in letting me sleep during the day.
I never shut mine off, and often use it as a fan to blow air into or through my bathroom as bathroom fans are often too weak to keep towels from mildewing without some way of moving dry air around. To do this I lay the machine down, and until recently, so the fan blew down across the floor. The way the cage fan is made this adds the suction force of the fan to the weight of the fan and motor which wears out the lower bearing a lot faster. Turning the unit on its other side takes almost all of the load off the bearings as the fan suction counteracts the weight.
I recently took my unit apart to oil the bearings, and found the motor to be excellent. Not some cheap piece of Chinese junk, but a real industrial motor. I had to remove a lock collar though that must be destroyed to get it off. Ace Hardware had a replacement collar. Some Pedro's bicycle chain oil worked very well. The unit had developed an intermittent squeak and this fixed it.
The unit tests both the pre-filter and inner HEPA filter all the time and will tell you if they get dirty. The only thing I have ever done to the HEPA filter is use the vacuum crevice tool to suck any dust particles off the outside of the filter.
I have NEVER had to replace the HEPA filter on my unit. It came with 3 pre-filters and I use my HEPA vacuum cleaner to suck the dust back out of that while it's still on the round HEPA filter unit. Since I have some pretty bad allergies, I do this with the vacuum cleaner pointed into a steamy bathroom right after a shower so any tiny dust particles get bonded to water molecules. I know that's a pretty anal procedure, but I also have migraine headaches, and after 9 yrs you learn a thing or two.
The first one of these I bought after trying about 5 other small non-HEPA filters. They were a complete waste of money. I went from taking 10 Sudafed a day to none ever in about 3 days. It does take awhile for your system to "unload" all the toxic effects of allergens, but the upside of that is a few hours in a dirty environment won't dose you enough to get you symptomatic as long as you can sleep in a clean environment. If you use it cleverly it will even keep mold out of your house by circulating air all the time. This thing could easily last 20 years with good bearing maintenance.
This is by far the most valuable appliance in my house. I can't imagine the misery I'd be in without it. On low settings it costs almost nothing to run. I rate it ninety two stars. :D
Just buy it and get your life back!!!
Description of Honeywell 17000 HEPA QuietCare Air Cleaner
HEPA Enviarcaire QuietCare Air Cleaner 6 air changes per hour in a 12' x 14' room (168 sq. ft.).Intelli-Check electronic filter change indicators; 3 air cleaning power levels; Tobacco smoke particles CADR: 130.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
