Allergy Relief for me:
The Honeywell 50250 I recently purchased replaces my (10 years already?) old Honeywell 52500. I run it daily when I'm home (and over night) and it makes a considerable difference in my allergies. I have a cat and a dog and our house does not have that "dog smell" because of this machine.

I expected better!:
If you're wanting to use this in a bedroom, "THIS IS NOT FOR YOU!"

The other thing to consider is that this unit needs to be placed 3 feet away from any wall so it can't be tucked in a corner or up against a wall. This is because the air flow goes in from all sides and flows out at the top perimeter.
