Honeywell Air purifier types

Honeywell offers a full range of portable air purifiers options for you as a patient.
With so many types of home air purifiers on the market today, how does a patient “clear the air” to understand which product is best for them?
The truth is – not all air purifiers are created equal.
See the chart below to find the air filter that best suits your patients needs.

True HEPA (99.97% cleaning efficiency at 0.3 microns)

TrueHEPA DESCRIPTION
The gold standard in air purification continues to be products that feature True HEPA filtration. True HEPA filtration is a mechanical system that utilizes a fan to draw the air in from the room and force it through a glass fiber HEPA paper.
HEPA air purifiers are 99.97 percent efficient at removing microscopic particles (as small as 0.3 microns in size).

HEPA filters are available in both permanent and replacement options, so consumers can choose which type works best for them. The filter is vacuum-able for easy maintenance, cleaning is recommended every three months.
True HEPA air purifiers do not use ionization to remove particles from the air so ozone is not emitted from the filtration process.

TrueHEPA BEST FOR
Anyone suffering from any type of airborne allergies, asthma or other breathing disorders; great option for babies, children and seniors.

HEPAClean – HEPA-Type (99% cleaning efficiency at 2 microns)

HEPAClean DESCRIPTION
For general, all-around air purification and particle reduction, permanent HEPA-type filtration offers good cleaning with 99% efficiency at removing airborne particles that pass through the filter. This technology uses a fan to circulate the air.

The filter is vacuum-able for easy maintenance (suggested every three months).

Offers an affordable option for air purification.

HEPA-type filtration does not use ionization to remove particles from the air so ozone is not emitted during the filtration process.

Some models do provide optional on/off ionization so the consumer can choose if they want to boost cleaning power and/or add additional freshness to the air.

HEPAClean BEST FOR
Ideal for those who want to freshen and clean the air in a room or for those suffering from typical airborne allergies; great option for consumers on a budget.

Important note: Consumers who have asthma or other breathing conditions should operate these products with the optional ionization turned off (as easy as pushing a button).

Quiet Clean – Micro-Filter™ Technology (99% efficient at 0.3 microns)

Quiet Clean DESCRIPTION
Micro-filtration™ is a breakthrough, permanent filtration method that is highly effective in helping to remove airborne particles at a 99% efficiency level.

Micro-filtration™ is similar to HEPA filtration and uses a fan to circulate the air in a room and force it through the filter. The filter works when a high voltage source actively charges the filter and forces particles to be captured in alternating layers of extruded co-polymer flutes, which look like a honeycomb.

Low pressure drop allows maximum airflow, enabling the purifier to clean with whisper-quiet operation. Because this filtration system is so efficient, it is the only electronic filter technology that offers near HEPA performance, capturing microscopic particles at a high efficiency level. When the Quiet Clean™ air purifiers are on low speed, they capture particles as small as 0.3 microns.

The Micro-Filter™ filter can be rinsed in water for easy cleaning (suggested every three months).

Honeywell QuietClean® products emit only a fractional level of ozone, substantially lower than the U.S. Food & Drug Administration’s acceptable ozone emission levels.

Quiet Clean BEST FOR
Ideal for airborne allergy sufferers and those who want to improve air quality in their home.

Not recommended for consumers who have asthma or other severe breathing conditions due to the trace amounts of ozone that are emitted.
