Reviewed: 04/24/2020 by Keith Hanson

I installed three of these filters into my large Honneywell air cleaner. There was an immediate distrubing smell that appeared. I own three of the same Honeywell air cleaners and I experimented and switched the new filters into another one. No change. Its definitely the new filters. Does the smell dissipate over time? Im disappointed. The older filters never smelled bad. I will see what happens. My wife refuses to have it in the living room.

Reviewed: 12/02/2019 by Julie Dixon

I am asthmatic and don't know what I would do without my Honeywell air filtration units. Anytime there's a lot of wind or a fire nearby, I turn them on and they clear the air within a short period of time. They not only help me breathe better but the whole house begins to smell better. I own two Honeywell filter units - a 17200 I've owned this unit for several years and it keeps running and a 50255. Also, I previously purchased imitation filters and an unusual smell came out of the unit so I now only buy Honeywell products.

HEPA filter dows the job

Reviewed: 11/26/2012 by RT

The Honeywell filters do a fine job of pulling particulates, dust, allergens, and sub micron particles out of the air. Only one complaint, Honeywell stopped making single filters designed to fit their air cleaner machines. I suppose this was due to manufacturing cost efficiency. In my case I need to buy three of these filter rings to fit my air cleaner. Wrapping the prefilter around three loose rings is a challenge. In addition some filtration area is list due to the gasketing material.

Reviewed: 11/19/2012 by David Farrington

You have to be careful when ordering, because it takes up to four of these filters depending on the size and model of your air cleaner.

Customer Service Response:

Dear Customer - you are correct and we detail the number of HRF-F1 filters needed by model in the description of the product. Each one comes with a stack able ring to seal the space between the filters so no air can pass between them.
