Why is the SilentComfort™ HEPA Air Cleaner so Quiet?
At Honeywell, we know that quiet is important.  That's why we've designed the SilentComfort™ HEPA air cleaner using advanced No-Draft™ airflow technology and other sound-reducing features.  We want you to use the higher speeds of your air cleaner without the noise or airflow disturbances created by many other air cleaners.  On higher speeds, air cleaners provide more filtered air into the room, imprioving air quality more quickly.  By offering comfortable operation with improved performance, the SilentComfort™ HEPA air cleaner is perfect for use in bedrooms and family rooms — places where you spend most of your time.

How Quiet is the SilentComfort™ HEPA Air Cleaner?
It's so quiet that you may think it's not working!  But don't worry — it is!  Independent testing shows that the SilentComfort™ HEPA Air Cleaner is quieter than many HEPA and non-HEPA air cleaners of similar performance sold at retail (air cleaner performance based on October 1999 AHAM Room Cleaner Directory, within a 10 CADR range).

What is a HEPA Air Cleaner?
HEPA stands for High Efficiency Particulate Air.  HEPA filters are recognized as one of the most efficient ways known to remove airborne particles.  They are used in medical, laboratory and commercial applications.  HEPA filters are certified 99.97% effective at capturing airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns from the air that passes through the filter**.

Typical Performance for This Model
Indoor air must be constantly recirculated by an air cleaner in order for it to help reduce concentrations of airborne particulate contamination.  For air cleaners of equivalent filter effectiveness, a higher Air Change per hour (ACH) rating may help improve air quality more quickly.

Room Size Recommendation:
Honeywell's minimum recommendation of 6 air changes per hour, which exceeds AHAM standards:

AHAM Performance Ratings
In order to assist consumers in comparing room air cleaners, the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) has developed a standard rating system to measure air cleaner effectiveness, called the Clean Air Delivery System (CADR).  These performance ratings are based on independent laboratory testing.

Filter Replacement
Filter life depends upon use.  To maintain optimum performance, we recommend replacing the filters:
