Houseware Reviews

This unit is a bit large, but not very heavy at all and has
a convenient handle on top, making it easy to move it to
another room, if necessary. The purifier both takes in and
expels air horizontally in all directions, taking in air
through the grille and expelling it very close to the floor
through the gap that runs around the unit just above the fan
switch. The lower of the two fan settings is very quiet and
is barely audible. The higher setting is audible but unless
you're a light sleeper (e.g., unable to sleep w/ an air
conditioner on), you could put this unit in a bedroom. The
handle has a threaded bolt built into it and screws on to
the top of the unit, securing the plastic grille/cover.
This makes opening up the unit to replace filters is as easy
as spinning the handle to unscrew it and lifting off the
cover. It's worth noting that we don't have really bad
allergies, so I can't provide a confident testimonial of
this product's effectiveness for a severe allergy sufferer,
but we definitely noticed an improvement in air quality in
our (small) apartment. (Of course, you have HEPA
certification and the promise of handling 192 cubic feet to
take at face value.)

i purchased this item a while ago and returned it immediately. it's not quiet and is very bulky.

I bought this model because it said Ultra Quiet on the box and even bragged about how it achieved such a quiet motor. I'm rating this 2 stars because I feel Honeywell did not live up to what they advertised. On the lowest speed, this thing was still loud enough to hear over my t.v. set. On speeds 2 and 3 it vibrated my hardwood floor and was obnoxiously loud! I tried using it downstairs on the carpeting, but was still annoyed at the sound, so finally returned it. I checked out a larger Honeywell unit (round / appx. $239) and it was indeed very quiet on the lowest setting. I will probably spend the extra $$ on that one. Whatever you buy, try it out in the store first!

You do not provide the model number of the Honeywell air purifier. I need to know if you carry replacement filters for it or not and what is the cost of filters?? Would also be helpful to know how often filters need to be changed. I would also be interested in the purpose of remote control for the unit.

Bought based on online reviews. Previously owned a Eureka Boss. it worked great, but my son moved and needed a vacuum so I gave him our Eureka. This Hoover was great disappointment! It's noisier than a motorcycle rally. It's hard to push on any but the deepest pile setting, and the attachment caddy makes the cleaner heavy, awkward and hard to move around. I am returning it as I write this review and will reorder the Eureka Boss 4463AV.

I absolutely HATED my old Eureka (which I paid a lot more for). I decided that this time I'd pay less and if it fell apart - oh, well. I was pleasantly surprised with this vacuum. Assembly wasn't difficult and it's fairly light, especially without the tool rack on. It works great for cleaning stairs and because it doesn't have a wide path it's easy to get into tighter places. The best part about this vacuum is it DOES have good suction. Not a lot of bells & whistles, but adequate tools to do most types of cleaning. The one serious "con" is that the hose is pretty short. I've had this vacuum for about 5 months and so far I think it's an excellent value for the low price.

This would be my 3rd hoover of this type of model and price range.I just bought this one to replace my "roundabout" model that I have been using for 3 years. When I only pay 50-80 dollars for a vacuum, if I get 2-3 years out of it I'm very happy, it's what I expect to get. I use this daily and it gets a workout cleaning in the house and doing the cars. I have been satisfied with the performance. Suction is great, lightweight (important since I have stairs) not an overabundance of attachments that I don't use, and the fact that they are onboard, so I will use them more readily. I use to own a Kirby, anyone who had/has one knows that you don't always feel like taking the head off to clean with the attachments (most I have never used) on a daily basis, not to mention the weight of it alone. I never bought another Kirby again, in fact my Kirby was still working when I decided I had enough of it and decided to get a lighter and more practical vacuum. I went with the Hoover "Roundabout" models. I have never been dissapointed since. I felt that they cleaned better than my Kirby ever did.
What also makes my decision is the compact "feel of it" ,some vacuums are very bulky and ackward, can hardly see the floor in front of you, this Hoover is very easy to use!!
