Tools and Hardware Reviews of Honeywell HHT-011 Compact Air Purifier with Permanent HEPA Filter
Customer Review: great for allergy sufferers, excellent price, value points
Summary: 4 Stars
I did a lot of research on room air purifiers, Some were only ionizers, some had hepa filters. The Honeywell has both options. It has a soft filter in front and a hepa filter behind that. Three speed settings the lowest is pretty quiet the highest is noisy, but if there is smoke or dust just blast it on for like 15 minutes. I recommend getting a small table fan to assist to blow air into the unit, it helps. The unit works as advertised. Priced at around 50 very good deal. Unit has a nightlight feature and the ionizer has a light as well
Small gripes,knock down one star... Very short cord. The is supposed to be placed 3 feet from the wall and not us an extension cord, hey give us a 10 foot cord please. The Ionizer only works while the hepa filter is on not independently, although there are two separate switches. Also the switch for the hepa filter is in reverse order you have to slide it past the high setting in order to turn it off, which gets noisy if someone else is sleeping in the room.
Overall very good, I use it in a 12X12 bedroom works fine. Had it one month now so I waited for a review. The filters are permanent but if something happens they can be purchased from the company website.

I bought the Honeywell HHT-011 through Amazon.com. At first all was well and I was very pleased with the air quality produced by the Air Purifier. I'm currently deployed as a U.S. Army Soldier in Iraq and the air outside is normally filled with dust, dirt, and smoke from Iraqis burning stuff. I live in a Containerized Housing Unit (CHU) and bought the Honeywell HHT-011 for my 12' X 8' room room. I tend to have sinus issues when the air quality is poor. The fan was a little loud, but tolerable - I just had to crank up the TV or IPOD. The front grill did not fit snuggly on the unit and reflects on how the unit is cheaply made.
However after about one month of use, the Honeywell HEPA Clean started to get louder and louder. It appears that the fan wheels are off center and have created a rattling noise. Now the Air Purifier is much louder and rumbles, rattles, and rolls. I've cleaned the filters (pre-filter and HEPA Filter) and the noise persists.
This purchase was very disappointing since it's a quality of life issue. But, you get what you pay for. Reading other similar reviews, this sounds like a quality control issue with Honeywell. Be prepared to spend more for a quality unit. Thanks.
Customer Review: Great Little Purifier for the $$$$
Summary: 5 Stars
I had this for several months now and it seems like a great little air purifier. I have not had to clean it yet and I keep 3 of them running almost all the time. By the way..I'm a smoker, but alot of people I know are not! One by where I sit in the Living Room. one by my PV and one on the night stand on my side of the bed. My Mom and girlfriend really don't like the smell of smoke and have alittle bit of asthma, but when I'm smoking by one of the machines....they say they really don't notice it. As far as picking up dust and other odors...I can't really tell myself since I do smoke and my nose is shot...but others say it smells better and they can breathe better...so they must be working? A little noisy even on low....but I can live with it. Like I said..I haven't had the light come on to clean the filter yet...so will have to wait and see, and my place is dusty. The reason I really bought these to try is because you NEVER have to replace the filters...just clean them and like I said...I've had them for about 3 months and haven't had the light come on to tell me to clean the filters? By the way, it does have a nice little green light on top that makes a nice low light night light...so Thumbs UpCustomer Review: Gets the job done - no filters to change!

This is my 2nd air purifier - the other was a comparable model by Holmes. I learned from my first air purifier that you really have to leave it on all the time or the revolving motor will collect dust, not work as well or as quietly. If I don't want it on constantly, I just put a clean towel over the top to prevent any dust/dirt from building up.
The noise level is acceptable to me, in an 8x10 room. I usually leave it on LOW, which sounds a bit like a fan on low speed, but MED is good too - it has a nice white noise effect. I only put it on HIGH if there's a bad smell or lots of dust floating around (for whatever reason). HIGH is a bit loud for my taste. This machine tends to rattle a bit as it sits on my bureau, but a small towel underneath it took care of that problem. Also, give it time to warm up when you put it on. It starts off slowly, but works at full speed within a few minutes.
I have allergies and noticed a difference immediately when I got this model. My symptoms have improved greatly, even with 3 cats in the house. I would recommend it to anyone who has a small space, doesn't want to buy new filters and is perhaps on a budget. Good machine at a decent price.
Customer Review: Love it! Great price & does a great job!

This is a fantastic air cleaner at an affordable price.
I house-sat for some friends and they have an air cleaner. After a few days, I noticed I no longer woke up stuffy. After returning home, I browsed Amazon for an affordable unit for my apartment. Based on the reviews, I got this Honeywell and I'm thrilled with it.
It sits on my nightstand but doesn't take up too much room. Sometimes if I'm listening to something on my laptop and can't hear well, I will turn the air cleaner down but usually I keep it on max. It does make a sound like a fan, but I like that noise, especially when I sleep. It has 3 settings and the lowest is very quiet.
I love that I will not have to buy replacement filters for this also. One of the filters is like a flat piece of foam; the other is similar to a car's air filter. I have already pulled the foam piece out and pulled all the dust off of it. This machine works! I also like the separate switch for the ionizer.
We are two people in an apartment with 2 cats and a smoker. This air cleaner has been fantastic. I have it in my bedroom now and am thinking about buying another one for my son's room.
