Honeywell Envicaire air purifier 50250
Its round design of the honeywell enviracaire air purifier makes it a little tough to find a good spot in the home to place the unit. Corners are the natural home, limiting our options. But even in a corner we will find that the Honeywell Enviracaire air purifier will filter a lot of air efficiently thanks to the 360 degree airflow, which really helps take in and pump out the air. With 21 lbs it's a fairly hefty unit, too.
The Clean Air Delivery Rates or CADRs of 250 for dust, pollen, and smoke are unusually good numbers, particularly when you calculate the CADR/$ ratio, which is decidedly on the high end of things. This is just a fancy way of saying you get a lot of clearance for the money.
Besides smokes, pollen, and dust the Honeywell Enviracaire air purifier 50250 removes mold spores, cat dander, dust mites and other potential allergens. Turn it on for a few hours and we will not see the usual dust layer on coffee table or the TV.
The 3-speed fan produces more than the usual amount of noise compared to some other brands. At the lowest speed it produces 35 deci bells. On medium, the sound intensity rises to 45 deci bells does not horrible but noticeable. On high speed the unit produces 57 deci Bells. That is noisy for a quality homeair cleaner, even one in the modest price range. Working on a computer with the unit running on the highest speed requires good concentration.
One reason for that audible operation and lowering the efficiency a bit is the Honeywell enviracaire air purifier HEPA filter/fan arrangement. Air may compress in front of its face, making the unit work hard to draw, leading to a wobble. Some units vibrate because of a slightly off-center fan, but it is the air movement that is the problem here. Still, if it is placed on carpet we will probably never notice.
We may notice a rise in the electric bill if the unit runs all day and night. The Honeywell Enviracaire air purifier 50250 consumes 50 watts on the lowest speed. On medium speed it will use 120 watts and the highest speed sucks down a whopping 170 watts. Even so, that is less than two 100 watt light bulbs burning.
The maintenance costs of Honeywell enviracaire air purifier are unusually low. The carbon pre-filter replacement cost for the Honeywell enviracaire air purifier 50250 is low and it can be vacuumed many times before we need a new one. we can clean the HEPA filter too. It requires replacement only about once every 1-3 years depending on hours of use and the environment.
We can see when either dirty thanks to the excellent Intelli Check electronic filter monitor. A red light illuminates to let us know when one or the other is dirty and that is a nice feature to have. Better still, it senses pressure, not hours in use. That means Honeywell enviracaire air purifier actually monitors the real-world condition and does not rely on a time estimate.
Place the air cleaner on its side and unscrew the large plastic bolt to getaccess to the filter chamber. Then pull out the cylindrical filter from the center. While there, notice what we do not see dirt around the edges. The interior of Honeywell enviracaire air purifier is clean and no scattered dirt particles around the unit where they do not belong to signaling a well-sealed unit. Air that goes inside the unit gets filtered and not just recycled.
