Honeywell Enviracaire 50150 Air Purifier

The Honeywell 50150 air purifier is a midsize unit servicing areas up to 225 sq. ft. While more compact than the 50200 or 50250, this model still offers true HEPA filtration and an activated carbon pre-filter to trap odors and clean the air. I purchased two of these units and several pre-filters for my father’s home, placing one in his den and the second in his bedroom. Both he and I were pleased with the results.

What I liked about the Honeywell 50150

The filtration of this model greatly improved the air quality of both of the rooms in which it was placed. Unfortunately, my father still smokes, but upon my most recent visit home, I was greeted by only a faint hint of cigarette smoke in the den. Be it that the house is a very old farm house, dust is constantly a problem, but since placing the second unit in his bedroom, both of my parents said they have slept better.

It is compact, portable and light and can be placed nearly anywhere in the home. Unlike purifiers with heavier steel frames, the plastic housing of this unit is sturdy without the additional weight.

As with many purifiers, the Honeywell 50150 is very simple to use. After opening the units and wrapping the pre-filter around the HEPA, we placed the units in their respective places and set them on low. This model also comes with an Intelli-Check filter indicator to let us know when to replace the filter.

What I did not like about the Honeywell 50150

For maximum filtration it is ideal to run the unit on low, but it can be a little loud when set on the medium or high settings.

The filter is supposed to be a lifetime HEPA that you vacuum out twice a year. While vacuuming will certainly extend the life of the filter, many people find that they do have to eventually replace it The filter that comes with the unit initially is one large HEPA filter but when it does come time to replace it, you have to purchase two smaller, stackable filters.

The 50150 is a great air purifier for a small to medium size room. It provided the HEPA filtration and odor removal we needed without a great deal of expense. The Honeywell 50150 air purifier worked well in my father’s dusty, old farmhouse, and its ease-of-use as well as its compact size make this model an ideal fit for most of the rooms in your home.
