Tools and Hardware Reviews of Honeywell 18155 SilentComfort Permanent, True HEPA Air Purifier
Customer Review: Honeywell 18155 Air Purifier
Summary: 4 Stars
Recently purchased two of these units, one for my family room, one for the living room and dinning area. One of the units was faulty, fan did not work. Amazon was great with returning it and sending a new unit out the next day with no additonal charges. Unit is very quiet on low and medium speed, high is a little noisy but very effective. Air in house is much cleaner and it does eliminate odors since we have smokers in the house which was one of the reasons the units were purchased. Unit is a little larger than I expected but rooms they are in are large and can be placed in space out of the way. Really noticed a difference in the air quality. Must say I am very satisfied.Customer Review: Does the job -- very quietly
Summary: 5 Stars
In less that a day, this had the air in my (large) bedroom clean and clear. I followed the instructions, to initially run it on high for the first "clean out". I used to have the type of Honeywell that required costly filter replacements So this for me is a replacement of a new technology with an older one. It does the job, my stuffy nose is gone, and it is very quiet - I run it at low all night long. I did a lot of research before I bought this brand and this size and read lots of online reviews. I think it is important to select one that is sized to the room it will be used in, and Honeywell has been making these for a very long time, so I think they have it right.Customer Review: very pleased
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought long and hard about getting this air purifier but since my husband has asthma and also I was chasing dust too often, we decided to try it. Had it about a month and really like it. I worried about the sound but on low at night it is very quiet and I run it on a higher level during the day. The price was good, the ease of putting it together and starting was good and the decrease of dust is noticeable. I hate to see dust on surfaces and after dusing every day and running sweeper, since we have a large dog, I can go a few days in the bedroom without seeing any dust or seeing in the sunlight. I have cleaned the filter once since starting. Good product.Customer Review: Quiet? Hardly.

I guess you all have a different standard of what "quiet" means.
This thing is really loud. Yes the fans seem to be good quality so you don't hear any mechanical noise at all. The problem is just that even the lowest setting is blowing an awful lot of air, so you hear a "whooshing" sound. It's okay during the day, but for sleeping it should really have a lower setting.
Also it is very large, about the size of a room air conditioner or mini-fridge.
My guess is the sound volume of this thing is in the range of 30-40 dB , and it should be 20-30 dB. For comparison, a good quiet PC fan is in the 10-20 range.
Customer Review: Perfect for people with allergies
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this air purifier because my infant was showing signs of allergies - sneezing, rubbing her eyes, etc. Within an hour of turning on this filter, everyone in the household stopped having sneezing fits and our baby doesn't have red, itchy eyes anymore. I'm amazed by how well it works. The unit is really quiet.
The only thing I don't like about it is the size. It's huge! At a foot and a half wide it takes up a lot of space. You can't easily hide this thing next to the sofa. I'm still trying to figure out where to put it so that it isn't in the way but can still filter the air. Very satified with this product overall.
