Product Description
Honeywell Permanent IFD UV + Antibacterial Air Purifier. Features Dual Ultraviolet Lamps, HEPA Performance, Permanent IFD Filter, Advanced Electronic Controls, Low Maintenance & Quiet Performance.
Honeywell HFD-135 Permanent IFD UV Antibacterial Air Purifier
With only 90 days of use, can only say ‘so far ,so good’.
Pretty much as advertised(with the exception that it is fairly noisey.)
If you have need for ultra-violet germ fighting light(which you can turn off&on),washable ionic filter then this will fit your needs..
Considering its barreled/odd shape & rather large size, placement is a minor issue.Small complaint but assume necessary to design..
Be aware that is does deposit some dust etc.on adjacent walls.
However:Filter washes nicely..
Ease of maintenance.
Now if it gives long term service would say it deserves 5 stars.

I own the other Honeywell air pufier that looks similar to this unit but it is in white and LOVE it. So, when this upgrade came out, I decided to give it a go…esp because it had UV as well. I leave it running all day and night and it keeps the air feeling pure and clean. It is quiet and smooth. I am now considering buying a 3rd (an addition HFD135) for my family room. Highly recommended!

The difference in the air quality is noticable. I haven’t tried to clean it yet, but it looks like it shouldn’t be too difficult. One gripe is the blue led’s. Would be nice to turn them off but still use the functionality (especially since they are purely for decoration)

I had very high expectations for this as it is made by Honeywell, a trusted name. The unit features a UV light which is supposed to help kill bacteria, and more for even cleaner air.
I did not like the unit because of the smell it produced. The fan is quite silent on low, but too loud on high. When I leave it on all day, and with the door closed, I come back to find a “burnt plasticy” smell. Very hard to describe, but there is a smell, and I could not tolerate it. I sent it back for a replacement and the 2nd one did the exact same. Might be the fan motor heating up and releasing some of the plastic smell, I am not sure. There is an annoying whizz sound from the motor that is audible also when on high. Both units were returned back to Amazon. They took care of it quickly and easy!
The unit is made for a room up to 150 sq ft, and is a lot bigger in person that the picture makes you believe. I would compare the size to a small desktop pc.
When you turn on the UV function, a blue rim will light up on the top for an aesthetic effect, but does nothing else. You cannot turn it off unless you turn off the UV feature. Not good for light sleepers who are bothered by light and noise.
I cannot recommend this product because I feel there is a major design flaw. The unit’s filter should have been sealed air tight to preserve the integrity of the filter materials. Some of the Styrofoam smell got adsorbed into the filter and you can smell it when you turn the machine on.
I recommend you spend a little more and buy a Rabbit Air BioGS. That thing is quiet and has been working for me brilliantly!

The unit works … but it is advertised as being quiet and being able to work for rooms of the described size. Well, it is either one or the other. If you set it to the recommended speed for a larger room, the is very loud. If you set it to the quietest setting, it only circulates the air in the recommended room size every couple of days.
I normally leaving it running on high when I am not home to scrub the room, but as soon as I come home, I put it back on low because it makes too much noise.
