Honeywell QuietClean Air Purifier #Review
Captures 99% of Allergens and Pollutants
The Honeywell QuietClean Tower Air Purifier gives you 99% cleaner air in minutes! Most household items such as soaps, detergents, perfumes, and cleaning supplies we use on a daily basis produce airborne chemicals that can linger in the home. The harmful chemicals produced from these are emitted into the air as gases, called volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The ironic things is, we are using these items to be cleaner and healthier, while they are in reality harming us.
This review was written by team member April – Read more about here HERE
Did you know that studies have shown that there could be up to 300 different VOCs found in indoor air? The makers of Honeywell Air Purifiers have partnered with a team of environmental health scientists to release a list of the top 10 most common VOCs found in America. Using their list, I did a mini audit of our home to see what pollutants we have been unknowingly breathing in. I was surprised to find that we have 5 of the Top 10 harmful VOCs in our home!
But, wait. There is good news! The Honeywell QuietClean Tower Air Purifier captures odors and VOCs through a carbon filter that cleans the air you breathe. This Air Purifier cleans mold spores, cooking smoke, pet hair, pollen, dust, and tobacco smoke. It features permanent filtration and circulates the room air 5x per hour. Honeywell QuietClean Tower comes with a permanent filter and a 3 month disposable filter. The permanent filter can be easily rinsed in clean water, saving money on replacement filters.
The QuietClean Tower has 3 clean air levels with an oscillation feature, filter check and dimmer switch. It is energy star rated and recommended for medium to large rooms. The name does it justice, because it is very quiet. I have to look at it to see if it’s on or off sometimes!
The carry handle makes it easy to transport. This fall our family has struggled with seasonal allergies. It is nice to be able to pick up the unit and move it from room to room.
The makers of Honeywell suggest a number of simple steps that can be taken to help reduce VOCs in your home. Here are a few suggestions.
- Choose products that release fewer VOCs, such as organic alternatives.
- Use a portable air purifier that includes a carbon filter as part of the filtration process, helping to adsorb VOCs.
- Increase ventilation, particularly when products containing chemicals are being used.
For more detailed information about where VOCs orginate from, use this checklist to help identify potential sources of these indoor airborne chemicals around the home and for ways to manage and remediate them.
Sandra Gray says
I learned that this air purifier can clear the air of chemicals that can affect our breathing. I also learned that this purifier can take care of smoke and mold spores. What I really learned was that I really really really need one of these! Our house is a compound of these horrible things.
Susan P. says
I like that the permanent filter is washable. Vacuuming the replaceable filters is an easy option before having to replace them. It’s great that the Air Purifier cleans mold spores, cooking smoke, pet hair, pollen, and dust.

I am glad to know that the “Honeywell QuietClean Tower Air Purifier captures odors and VOCs through a carbon filter that cleans the air you breathe. This Air Purifier cleans mold spores, cooking smoke, pet hair, pollen, dust, and tobacco smoke.” I have 2 cats that shed like crazy and being disabled it’s hard for me to do the cleaning afterward.

james jenkins says
I learned that it delivers 99% cleaner air in just minutes; I have to wonder about how loudly it does that. Our current units don’t do nearly that well and are too noisy.

Angela Bowman says
I like that the purifier also captures cooking smoke. It can be one of the smells that linger the longest in our home. How great it would be to filter those smells so that they dissipates quicker.
Tracy Sefert says
Honeywell makes quality products that stand the test of time. Living in Iowa we have lots of pollen, dust and other things in the air that contribute to mine and my son’s seasonal allergies. We also have 2 dogs and 1 cat adding dander to our home. I think with the 3 levels of purification would really help us out
Laurie Nykaza says
The Honeywell QuietClean Tower Air Purifier gives you 99% cleaner air in minutes. We have 4 cats and 3 dogs so this sounds like it could really help us out with our allergies. We get pretty stuffy this time of the year.
AlisonS says
My family also suffers from allergies. This sounds like it would really help! I also like that you can rinse off the permanent filter, that would help to save money on filters.

K-Squared says
As I read your page, it was inspiring – it started me to do more research on the reason it has been suggested my family to get (but cant afford) an air purifier. Like others, air quality undoubtedly ranks as among the most significant factors on keeping up a better health, making air purification one of my entry into this sweepstakes one of my top priorities. With the knowledge from our medical persons, winning a prize like this would be priceless, and the feedback from which we would provide would come from different generations of the family and we could breathe easily!

It would be nice to clean up the air in our place a bit, I’m always getting stuffy nose.
Andrina Goetz says
I like that the filter is permanent and the unit is quiet.
Terrie Swanson says
I didn’t realize that cleaning products for us as well as our home have chemicals that are released into the air for us to breathe.

Having it explained as you did in the review has enlightened me with understanding.
polly says
I learned that the filter lasts for 3 months. This would be perfect for our family room.
Lori Barrett says
I’m concerned about VOCs in addition to the pet dander and dust from living which I think is causing my daughter’s allergies, so this sounds like a very effective product!
Julie Murphy says
I like that it is quiet.
jeanette sheets says
i never knew about vocs and that we had so many in our home,this would be great for my allergies and copd .plus i love it helps elimate odors!
Molly Hearn says
Choose products that release fewer VOCs, such as organic alternatives.
Use a portable air purifier that includes a carbon filter as part of the filtration process, helping to adsorb VOCs.
Increase ventilation, particularly when products containing chemicals are being used.
This is what makes me more interested in this because we have many of these pollutants in our home and with all of us having somewhat compromised immune systems , it would benefit us greatly.
Stephanie Mago-Eagle says
I like that The Honeywell QuietClean Tower Air Purifier captures odors and VOCs through a carbon filter that cleans the air you breathe. This Air Purifier cleans mold spores, cooking smoke, pet hair, pollen, dust, and tobacco smoke.

diamondslady812 says
That is alot of VOC’s and I like that it helps with dust, pet hair and tobacco smoke. Very informative review
Suzy Zawadzke says
I didn’t realize how many VOC’s are in the air I breathe! This would help in my apartment since maintenance often delays changing furnace filters, and they use filters that are one month filters for three months or longer. It makes it really hard to breathe! I would change it myself, but I’m not permitted to.
Deanna Capasso says
What I like about this model is that it filters out the the 5 main items that set my asthma off. The filters are washable & it has handles which makes it easier to move from room to room…

After reading your review I’m going to ask my son’s ENT Doctor if he thinks this would help. My son, at age 15 continues to get ear infections due to allergies. He has hearing loss and permanent damage in both ears. We are at the point of trying any and all things. If the Doctor says to try I’m getting this, it can’t hurt and by the sounds of it, it will help. Thank you for your review of this air purifier. I would never have thought about it if it weren’t for this post on your blog.
michelle k. says

We have dogs, birds, kids, a husband that smokes and people with lung issues in our house. It would be so nice to have something that can help clean our clean and live a little healthier.

I love that this cleans 99 percent of the air in minutes. I never gave thought to the cleaners really causing impurities in the air until you pointed it out. I definintly never knew their were about 300 voc’s in the air. I would love to have this to purify what my daughter breathers for her allerfies to avoid her eczema and my father in laws copd and emphasema. I know in Delaware our air is bad because of all the refineries and the nuclear plant so it would be great to have the best indoor air I could for my family.

ruby reis wade says
I thought about air purifiers before but my hubby thought they were a bunch of hooey. but I don’t know? after reading this I think it would help him with his allergies. and it eliminates odors too. can I use it in the kitchen while i cook instead of lighting a candle which I guess is bad? and I love that it portable. It can follow us from the bedroom to the living room. and I love that it is quiet. my hubby would never tolerate it if it wasn’t.

What I learned from this super review is that we need this product, and need it badly. I went to look at the site where the VOCs are listed, and I’m ashamed to say how many are present in our home. It’s impossible for us to open windows because the highway is right outside. The Honeywell QuietClean Tower Air Purifier will CAPTURE (amazing!) all these toxins and not just cover them up with some air freshener perfume. Wow!
Erin Ellis says
What a wonderful device! I love that it is so powerful, yet so quiet!
