*We liked it **Fastly.Cool** so much in the basement, we bought a second one for the main level. The amount of moisture it pulls out of the air is astonishing.*

[@johndelper1404]

You're criticizing smaller units for low CFM which doesn't seem fair, you keep referring to better units but you give no names or price$, Consumers want the best bang for the buck, they don't want a high priced, uncommon and obscure brand that you won't be able to find filters or parts for a few years down the line.

[@afischer540]

All that you stated...AGREED 👍

[@PepeDeezNutz]

He’s paid

[@growingwealth101]

I unsubscribed.

[@NailsbyAmbie]

I am very happy with my Honeywell insight. I have noticed a tremendous difference in air quality and Pet dander. And I have read all kinds of other great reviews on Honeywell.

[@daman9780]

weird as consumer reports ranked the Honeywell hpa300 was ranked one of the best

[@farcydebop7982]

If watch carefully all his videos, you will see he always gives good reviews to the same brands and criticizes the competitors without much clear evidence, which leads me to think that he somehow must be paid for that.

[@rdb71171nelson123]

I agree

[@rdb71171nelson123]

My hpa250b did amazing right out of the box. My son had problems breathing at night. Not anymore!!

[@therealbuba]

As a previous owner of many air purifiers, the HPA300 is one of if not the best, it’s quiet, reliable, and has no problem running non stop for months. A lot of the stuff out there is pretty bad in comparison

[@charliemcdowell5231]

well, I have a honeywell 300, and it is good, in the sense that it has great cfm, wasn't overly expensive, and has a hepa filter. I've watched a lot of this guy's vids and noticed when he criticizes the honewell series he doesn't bash on the things that are good such as what I mentioned as well as the ability to dim or cut off the LED display. What he doesn't like about them is the relatively large power draw as well as the fact that the prefilter and carbon filter are one in the same, as opposed to a dedicated washable prefilter and a honeycomb pellet using carbon filter. He does generally seem to favor winx, but if winx has the best performance to value ratio, wouldn't we expect him to have the most good things to say about that brand?

[@cubinn149]

Honeywell uses genuine true hepa filters those are medical grade these are the best kind of air filter

[@Oblivionsurveyor]

The classic 50260-s is a superior design imo, better filters when compared to modern filters. I noticed these other filters achieve more cfm by having filters with less air resistance, what does less air resistance mean? LESS filtration of course. Glad i am not one of those people that see it moving mega amounts of air and not a single thought into thinking its because the filter is not filtering well lol.

[@CrazyBeansCrochet]

You were obviously paid for this review. Honeywell is one of the top air purifiers out there. Can u back this up with proof??

[@PepeDeezNutz]

Hi

[@PepeDeezNutz]

@@juando494 show me the money!

[@angeldiaz8490]

Totally waste of time viewing this! Please refrain from posting any more reviews..

[@CelestialTrailblazer]

The million dollar question. Ionizer enabled on this unit or not ? I don't want an Ionizer.

[@atrahasis3899]

The 50250-S uses one, large filter, not three.The carbon filter material wraps around the HEPA filter easily, and is held in place with two velcro strips. Not exactly rocket science to replace. You can get a replacement, aftermarket HEPA filter with a pre-filter included for roughly 62 dollars before tax. Both filters can be vacuumed. The HEPA filter can usually be made to last about a year, although it's common to see a six month recommended replacement interval.

[@peacelove3817]

They need to have a heat option since it’s not supposed to have a fan yet it blows out the existing temperatures in your home which makes it cold:( If it was a warm day it would feel nice. I have a honeywell hpa300. I personally think it sucks you have to buy 3 filters,but I like that I can vacuum the carbon filter.. supposedly we can wash it but on the wrap it came in says “do not get water on it” so which is it?? I will be going out to buy a heat option Dyson just to compare..

[@MaxSuperTrade]

Whats your comments on the new Honeywell air purifiers HPA 5300B & 3000B

[@consumer-analysis]

The HPA 5300B looks promising. It looks like it will offer similar air cleaning performance to that of the HPA300. I will have more complete thoughts if I get a chance to test them.

[@MM-qj4kc]

@@consumer-analysis are you going to present your tested metrics or just make recommendations without presenting the side by side numbers? Charts we needs charts!

[@mlunaID]

I really appreciate this review. The CFM rating mentioned was an eye opener. Thank you. Going with a Coway mighty.

You're welcome! Glad I could help!

[@1001804]

Hi, can you pls review on the Honeywell HPA 5250? Thx 🙏

[@butchiej404]

Have you reviewed the Whirlpool Whispure Air Purifier?

[@consumer-analysis]

No, I haven't had the chance to.

[@GorgeousFortress]

Great video. I like how you don't only offer a review, but only suggestions in replacement. But honestly, the Honeywell units are really the only thing I can find for a reasonable price in Canada so I decided to go with the HPA200. I think you are pretty accurate with the comment, "Honeywell's biggest advantages is it's availability". LEVOIT is generally the only other alternative, and they seem to have even worse reviews. You can get the Winix 5500, but it's about 200$ more then the honey-well at 390$.

[@cubinn149]

Honeywell has larger units with 250cfm

[@ms5326]

What about Honeywell 710we premium air purifier?

[@consumer-analysis]

Unfortunately, the 710WE is not readily available in the United States for me to test it. Looking at its specifications, it has a clean air delivery rate of 187 m3/hour which translates to only 110 CFM - less than half that of the top rated models I recommend.

[@ms5326]

@@consumer-analysis Indeed, I just watched a CFM explanation on one of your videos. Thank you. I just bought Xiaomi air purifier 3H which has 380 M3/Hour with true HEPA filter which is the only decent air purifier I could find below 150$ in France. Thanks again.

[@consumer-analysis]

@@ms5326 You're welcome! Glad I could help!

[@MM-qj4kc]

Please add comparison charts to your reviews that highlight and give evidence to your statements. Strong statements such as “we don’t recommend Honeywell” would be solidified if you provided actual side by side numbers of other products in relation to these units. Otherwise, your review comes off as superficial and recommendations are empty. I’m looking for numbers such as wattage per price ratio, filtration efficiency per watt of power used, cost per filter per unit over time, cfm at price point chart, cfm per watt, etc… People who are watching this video for the first time may not watch any of your other videos so it’s better to be as informative on the first pass as possible. Still, I appreciate your video and thanks for your opinion.

[@singerdancer1]

will honeywell air purifers work?

[@consumer-analysis]

Yes, they do work. I just think there are better options available.

[@shayhan6227]

I feel Consumer Analysis is biased and am starting to loose respect for them. They never show any actual metrics or data, and just give their opinion or repeats whatever is on the specs sheet it seems. Many other review sources have ranked Honeywell units pretty highly which disagrees with this review. Something suspicious is definitely happening here.

[@mmccdl]

I learned something from you on what to look for in a purifier and thankful, but your continuous criticism with honeywell has made me research on this brand with curiousity. I’ve seen reviews ftom actual users who have serious respiratory issues and gave good reviews on honeywell. I think I would rather consider the Honeywell brand since you sound so bias on it. Seems like it is the top competitor of your favorite brand.

[@rdb71171nelson123]

He works for the competitor.

[@consumer-analysis]

I don't work for any manufacturer. Our reviews are not sponsored by any manufacturer.

Honeywell basher. Honeywell, feel free to send me a purifier and I’ll give you an honest review.

I’m listening to @consumeranalysis he took a lot of time to review these products I just brought a winix waiting for it in the mail.

[@nomad1517]

Although Honeywell purifiers are recommended by allergists, they can't seem to get down to capturing pm 01 particles, kind of misleading if you ask me.

[@ronniefurbs]

Honeywell is a very noisy brand although they have illumination can be turned off. Did not like this brand.

[@siriusfun]

What an utterly rubbish "analysis"/review. You literally said nothing, gave no solid reasons for your position, all the while repeating yourself. Tedious.

[@consumer-analysis]

Would you mind being more specific on the points you disagreed with? I'd be more than happy to discuss in greater detail why I feel a certain way about any particular topic I discussed in the video.

[@jjs777fzr]

I thought his review was pretty good. Mostly he focused on energy efficiency cfm/watt consumed. Although I think this may have more to do with the quality of the motor used in the Honeywell and its MTBF when compared to other junk motors that will see them squealing and eventually leading to outright failure (all while being energy efficient).
