Contrary to Honeywell, this unit "pulses" air from the get-go. That would be with all new filters that came with the unit. From Honeywell's site concerning this unit model, it should only pulse when the filters require changing.The unit makes quite a bit of noise on low speed, enough to compete with the TV and conversation if placed in the same room. We have it in an unused bedroom, not sure how good it will do there for cleaning air in the rooms we do use.
The image shows that the unit is brown, however we received the more pleasant white color.
I regret the purchase and will be purchasing a whole house filter unit that attaches to the central air unit's air handler.
All that being said, it appears to be cleaning air, so one star off for being excessively loud on low speed.
UPDATE 01/10/10: I became used to the sound of the unit fairly quick. It is still noticable, but not too annoying since considering it is doing a job. The unit does clean the air in a 20x20 area very good, no doubt about that. It appears the filters do not require any maintenance for 90 days, and then only light vacumming/blowing now and then before a yearly replacement. Also, this particular unit utilizes a "CPZ canister (that) reduces smoke and odors". I retract my initial review above and rate this a five star product.
