Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Asthma / September 2005Honeywell 17400 Air Filter
I am thinking about getting the Honeywell 17400 HEPA air filter: http://www.iallergy.com/product35/product_info.html Anyone know how much energy it uses? Also, how is the reliability? Thanks. > Anyone know how much energy it uses? The label says 1.2 A @ 120 V so an upper bound on the power is (* 1.2 120) = 144 W. Likely therefore the 17400 uses about as much power as a reading lamp. > Also, how is the reliability? Decidedly mixed. My first unit operated great for 6 months; then the control buttons failed and it wouldn't come on. I returned it for warranty repair, which cost $10 plus shipping. The unit I got back is noisier but has worked fine for about a year.  SignatureAlison Chaiken "From:" address above is valid.

I'll buy one for now, and if all goes well, I'll get a couple more later. Brian Brian, if you do buy the Honeywell filter, I would expect it to work well, but be sure to hang on to all your receipts!

Sears has this new brand with ions and nano tech or something. > Go to Sears and check them out. Looks interesting lol. |
