Honeywell Model HPA-050 Room Air Cleaner<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The goal of this test was to determine airborne particle reduction from the inlet of both air cleaners to their respective outlets.<\/p>\n

Particle reduction efficiency for this particular test was measured with a device called the ParticleScan Pro. This device measures particle concentration per cubic foot at .3 microns and larger.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

ParticleScan Pro<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To begin this comparison, we took an ambient air measurement which indicated that the airborne particulate concentration count in the room was approximately 2.69 million particles per cubic foot<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Below is a video that demonstrates our testing method:<\/p>\n

The Honeywell Air Cleaner
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/u>
\nAfter turning the Honeywell unit on its highest setting, we measured the particle count at the inlet of the unit, which showed a concentration of 2.75 million particles per cubic foot.<\/em><\/p>\n

We then took a measurement at the outlet of the unit. The ParticleScan Pro indicated an initial concentration of 1.68 million particles per cubic foot.<\/em><\/p>\n

Inlet: 2,758,800<\/strong><\/p>\n

Outlet: 1,682,000<\/strong><\/p>\n

This difference demonstrates (approximately) a 39% particle reduction from inlet to outlet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Sentry Air Systems Air Cleaner<\/span><\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n

The initial airborne particle concentration at the inlet of the Sentry unit was 2.67 million particles per cubic foot.<\/em><\/p>\n

The outlet concentration was 0.<\/p>\n

Inlet: 2,670,000<\/strong><\/p>\n

Outlet: 0<\/strong><\/p>\n

This difference indicates a 100% reduction in particles from inlet to outlet on this unit.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Overall<\/u><\/p>\n

The Honeywell Air Cleaner claims 99.97% filter efficiency on capturing particles .3 microns and larger, but only delivered 39% efficiency during our in-house test. This unit may have the cheaper price tag, but if you’re looking for a product with high-quality filter media and efficiency- look to Sentry Air Systems.<\/p>\n
