Thanks for this review, well done! I had the older model (HPA300) for three years and upgraded to the 3300B based on your review. It arrived today. It's a really nice air cleaner, very effective!
Post back after a bit and let me know what you think compared to the HPA300. This unit has since gotten the energy star designation, which is nice to know, and Honeywell has finally made the "S" filters available.
Got a brand new one for $80 which is a steal from a guy who buys pallets of stuff and resells. Using in my camper since we full time and have a dog indoors. This video was very helpful! Thank you!
Fantastic video and review. Subscribed. It seems like a great purifier with a higher CADR / CFM compared to a lot of the other purifiers out there. The HPA3300B is around 367 CFM which is really quite high. Most purifiers on the market seem to be around 250 CFM. You can run the HPA3300B at a lower setting compared to other purifiers and it will process the same amount of air at a lower noise level. I love that they made it so you can turn off the display and that is doesn't make any beep sounds. This is the way all purifiers should work. The lights and beeps already annoy me on my Winix. My biggest complaint with Honeywell purifiers is their filter design. Most all of Honeywell purifier lineup use the same HEPA filters. They just use either 1, 2, or 3 of the small HEPA filters inside the purifier. I'm sure they did this to save money. One factory line making filters for every model. They probably should have increased the number to 4 for the HPA3300B (367 CFM) since it's airflow is so much greater than the HPA300 (320 CFM). I'm also not fond of how they don't have a fine mesh pre-filter and only use the cheaper carbon impregnated fiber filters instead of carbon pellets. The cost of the Honeywell filters is also considerably higher compared to other purifiers. Here is a video that shows some of what I'm talking about. ruclips.net/video/iC1zHuUIXWM/видео.html
I agree the higher CFM is helpful. The price point is high and filters aren’t cheap either. A few months ago I saw the genuine HEPA filters on Amazon for 1/2 retail so I picked them up. The carbon filters are flimsy, but seem to do a good job for us. I have another small Oreck air purifier that uses the same carbon filter technology so I’m used to it. There are better designs out there. Thanks for subbing!
Cool. Post back if you like and let me know what you think. The small one in our bedroom definitely helps with my other half’s spring/summer allergies… especially when the 10th hour of the 12 hour Zirtech starts to wear off. 😃
That’s great! When I purchased this and the larger unit, I contacted Honeywell and asked them why it was not labeled as energy star certified and the rep said it was efficient, but had not received the official designation. I guess they’ve worked it out. Thanks for letting me know.
I need to clean the INSIDE of mine. Any idea on how I would do that? If I look in the top where the blower wheel is at, there is like a little black flat slope ( on right hand side ) it’s kinda dusty and I would like to clean all of that so it’s clean inside
@@tammy654321 I’ve waited for so long and still found no answer. Soon I may just end up getting a different system ( blue air ) or something like that.
May I ask if you know the approximate monthly electric bill for this unit if you run 24/7 on medium fan speed? This video is very concise and informative, and I really like that you estimate the wattage for us. Thank you very much for posting this.
I couldn’t tell you the exact amount it costs to run on medium; however, if we assume medium speed uses half the wattage of turbo mode, that would be 81 watts. That means it would cost less than leaving a 100 watt lightbulb turned on 24/7.
Informative review 😀 I just got the HPA3100B The box has an EnergyStar logo. I like the turbo noise. Its loud, but so relaxing to me. Having seen your model, I want that one too. Its bigger.
We have the smaller HPA3100B as well and run it in the bedroom. The fan sound is similar to having a white noise machine. 😃 Back when I got the units, I contacted Honeywell and asked them why it was not labeled as energy star certified and the rep said it was efficient, but had not received the official designation. I guess they’ve have now. I'm happier knowing it won't drive up the electric bill too much. I'm also happy that the "S" filters are available on the Honeywell site. Thanks for commenting.
@@BruceAlanR I forgot to price the filters. Ha, the replacement filters at Home Depot for the 530sq. ft. air purifier can get pricey if they must be replaced frequently. That doesnt include the optional S filter (odor enhanced) that fits between the pre-filter and the HEPA filters. Here are the filter prices for this unit at Home Depot: 3 HEPA filters at $34.98 for each one Pre-filters must be cut to fit. Each box is $17.96. This is a bit similar to printers and ink cartridges. 😂 I think there are off brand HEPA filters at half the price, likely on Amazon. But I wonder how well they filter? If it works, making my sensitive nose happier, I will buy the Honeywell filters. But hey, if I can get effective filters cheaper, that would be great.
Amazon... Right now!!! I just looked and the TrueHepa R filters are on sale for $19.52 each (normally $31.99). I’m going to order some. The filters aren’t cheap and I agree it’s like the cheap printers with cartridges that can bankrupt you. I usually get the filters from honeywellstore.com ...still expensive, but cheaper than Home Depot. I usually get the 1 year supply pack which includes 3 HEPA and 5 carbon filters for $85.
I just purchased this from Home Depot.. Hope this is a decent product.. It's of course made in China which probably cost about 20 bucks to make and we get charged almost 300..
I agree it’s expensive for what it is (basically a fan). I chose this model over others due to the high CADR ratings (specifically pollen). The thing that frustrates me the most though is that it’s like buying an inkjet printer... it’s the cartridges (or in this case the filters) that become expensive over the long run. I found the cheapest filters, which is the one year supply kit, on the Honeywell site.
@@BruceAlanR I used this for three months. One of biggest problems is it is impossible to get the good replacement pre-filter. Honeywell no longer sells the same pre-filtet as the one with the purchase. The filters they sell are thin and sparce so you can even see through. You may realize already what I said by now.
That’s frustrating! I was not aware of the thinner, replacement odor filters as I had purchased the annual package to have them on hand. Next time I go to the local Home Depot I’m going to see what the replacement filters look like. If they’re the thick ones, perhaps I’ll purchase a few extras. I also have an Oreck air purifier that I use in our laundry room (reduces dust generated when emptying the dryer’s lint filter). The charcoal filter of the Oreck is pretty thin, but still work well, so it may not be an issue. I also wash them so they last twice as long. Still frustrating though!
@@BruceAlanR I thought the 1year filter package also has the same problem. Did you have a chance to replace the pre-filter and compare the quality of filters between the old and replacement?
Ugh! I just opened the replacement package and didn’t even notice they’re a little thinner. What gives? Too late to return them, but hopefully they work just the same. Thanks for pointing that out.
I just bought this model and ran it for several hours. I know the room I initially placed it in has a ton of allergens, dust, and smells so it should be at least yellow, but it shows green. Maybe I don’t understand the use in dots versus colors... does the green, yellow, red indicate the VOCs only? Or do less dots mean more clean air (i.e. the dots start high and are subtracted the cleaner the air gets)?
Great question, which I only have a partial answer to. The dots don't mean anything and it's the colors you should pay attention to. Regarding what the colors are indicating, I'm guessing here, but from my experience with purifiers in the past, the colors provide an indication of harmful VOCs (for example, smoke, cleaning products, paints, solvents, aerosols, fuels) as well as other airborne particulate matter/allergens. I've never seen an indicator go red with less harmful odors, which are more unpleasant than harmful (for example, the smell of cooking fish in the kitchen or stinky shoes in the bedroom closet). I can test some of this in my workshop since my old air purifiers would turn red when I ran them in the shop after sanding or cutting wood. It was also easy to confirm airborne particulate matter simply by turning off the lights and shining a flashlight across the room (the tighter the light beam the better if you want to give it a try). With a flashlight I could see the thick sawdust floating through the air, which is why I always wear a dust mask in the shop. Of course the key here is that the particulate matter (for example, sawdust or even pollen) be airborne. If they're already stuck on surfaces, the air purifier is not going to collect them unless they're stirred up. The best place to start with these things is to thoroughly clean the space while running it. That way the air purifier collects anything floating before it has a chance to land. Odors/VOC's are airborne although surfaces can absorb them (for example, cigarette smoke). When I see that the air quality indicator is green, I breath easier knowing the air around me isn't perhaps as bad as I thought.
I purchased three units none have control panel light as bright as your unit. Only way to use control panel light is dark room. It dim and turn off no problem.
It would collect fiberglass fibers, but only airborne particles. My workshop has areas with exposed fiberglass insulation on the ceiling so I run it in there if the insulation gets disturbed.
Best place to get filters is directly from Honeywell and they usually give you 10% off orders over like $30. You can also buy them on Honeywell’s store on Amazon. Sometimes I see them on Wayfair and Walmart.com. I haven’t brought myself to try knockoff filters yet, but I’m very tempted. Here are some links.

I bought one because of your review, I just received my item today and I can see that the fan inside is wobbling. Is this normal? It's currently on automode and I can hear the wobble of the fan.
@@BruceAlanR Thank you for the reply and yes I started the process of return already. I've owned a couple of air purifiers from different brands with auto function and all sensors are located outside. How effective is the sensor of this unit? How come it doesn't need any cleaning vs other brands?
Oh Wow! That’s helpful information. Where did you learn that this is a known issue? They’d better up their quality control if that’s the case. Thanks for sharing.
My recommendation is to compare specs, but also annual cost to operate, replacement filter costs, and filter availability. We’ve been happy with ours so far and Amazon had some good deals on the HEPA filters not too long ago so I bought a bunch. Good luck!

I suffer from pollen allergy. (Symptoms are sneezing, congestion and runny nose, as well as itching in your nose, eyes and/or the roof of your mouth) For many years I try every drug available, which improve my condition and I still use them of course. Although, sometimes is not enough. So, if you live in a small apartment as I do you can try this method to filter the air in less than 30 minutes. First turn on your air conditioner in “Dry Mode” (the one with the drop of water symbol), then place a floor fan at maximum speed pointing inside your bathroom, and turn on your shower with hot water. It will create a hot fog inside your bathroom. The contaminated “cool” air will flow inside the bathroom via the fan at floor level, some undesirable particles will get stuck in the damp walls, others in the mist and others will be washed out with the shower rain itself. Subsequently this hot fog will come out of your bathroom at roof level and your air conditioner will capture this moisture with the rest of the pollen and particles, it will condensate it and be expelled out of your house via its draining system. Then turn off your shower first, and let de fan and the air conditioner ON until the moisture disappears completely and your bathrooms walls are dried. The time will vary depending your apartment o house dimensions, but you will feel the relief immediately.
Good question, but I don’t have an answer for it. Perhaps someone else can chime in on that. Works good for bacon and grease smoke on Turbo when cooking.
Good to know. Another commenter made a good point that some of these air purifiers are like ink jet printers. The unit is relatively cheap, but the annual cost of cartridges (or in this case filters) are what get you. The Rabbit is pretty sleek though. Looks like a piece of art. 😃
As I noted in the video, S filters won’t be available until later this year. I wish I had known that ahead of time. Seems a bit misleading that Honeywell is advertising something that’s not even available yet.
I believe the numbers are associated with the size of the room. 300 series is for ~500 sq ft or less, 200 series is for ~300 sq ft or less, and 100 series is for ~190 sq ft or less.
@@BruceAlanR Well unfortunately I'm returning this as it dried out the air even on the lowest setting. Made symptoms worse.. It's hot here in So Ca so I thought this would help with the air pollution but with the air conditioning constantly cranked it just made the air way to dry..
Update: I purchased three units thinking the control panel was not working correctly. Only problem was I did not remove the protective cover over the buttons. Feel like I need How to remove all protective covers for dummies'. LOL
Yeah, it’s not bad. It’s really only the Turbo setting that can be “offensive” in a small room. After a night of listening to it, it feels good to get away from it. I find the same with a window A/C unit on high so I guess my ears are delicate. 🤣
The point in the video where I reduced the volume was so you could hear me explain the different modes. The volume of the unit is at normal volume except where noted. If you go to 1:11 in the video you can hear it at full volume recorded from 5 feet away. I did that because I don’t like to sit right on top of the unit because it’s drawing allergens to it.
If only all RUclips videos were this helpful and concise!

@@michaelpast19 too much u can get 4 winix 5500-2 for that kind of money!!
Where did u get the S filter?
As I noted in the video, S filters won’t be available until later this year. I wish I had known that ahead of time. Seems a bit misleading that Honeywell is advertising something that’s not even available yet.
will then 3 filter classes be used or will the S replace one of the other
I believe the S filter is the second stage of three. It goes between the A/A+ filter and HEPA R.
The million dollar question. Ionizer enabled on this unit or not ? I don't want an Ionizer.
This model does not have an ionizer. We have another model that does, but I don’t use it.
@@BruceAlanR Which model you have with an Ionizer ? Do you have Honeywell HPA5300 ?
Our other model is not a Honeywell. It’s an old BreezeAT by EcoQuest. We stopped using it once we learned about the health impacts of Ozone.
Hi,
What's HPA 100 ,200, and 300 + stand for?
I believe the numbers are associated with the size of the room. 300 series is for ~500 sq ft or less, 200 series is for ~300 sq ft or less, and 100 series is for ~190 sq ft or less.
@@BruceAlanR 🙂👍
Have had experience with this purifier drying out the air and making sinus more stuffy??
I haven’t had that experience. I do find the new filters have a little scent at first, which eventually goes away.
@@BruceAlanR Well unfortunately I'm returning this as it dried out the air even on the lowest setting. Made symptoms worse.. It's hot here in So Ca so I thought this would help with the air pollution but with the air conditioning constantly cranked it just made the air way to dry..
Wow amazing!
Ha! Thanks! ...and thank you for subscribing! 😃👍
Update: I purchased three units thinking the control panel was not working correctly. Only problem was I did not remove the protective cover over the buttons. Feel like I need How to remove all protective covers for dummies'. LOL
Ha! That will do it. Thanks for posting back.
Bought one yesterday
Excellent! Please post back once you’ve had it for a while and l let others now how you like it. Thanks!
Is this a washable filter
The filters are not washable unfortunately.
Are these good for pets
We have two cats and it does a reasonable job with odor. We haven’t tried the filters specific to pet odor yet. Eventually I’ll spend the $.
I have a gaming room. Definitely needs one of these to keep the dust down. They get so fucking dusty it's insane.
Makes sense. 🤣
do you know if there is a way to lock the control panel on these? we have cats and they constantly get on top and change the settings on us.
Unfortunately there is no Child Lock feature. I guess our cats aren’t as smart as yours. 😃
@@BruceAlanR they use it as a landing pad sometimes and just boop the turbo button with their beans mostly
Home Depot still doesn't carry the A filter!!! 😂😂😂
Doesn’t surprise! I order my filters on Amazon when I see them.
It's really not loud at all 😂. If someone complains about noise with that unit, they have serious problems.
Yeah, it’s not bad. It’s really only the Turbo setting that can be “offensive” in a small room. After a night of listening to it, it feels good to get away from it. I find the same with a window A/C unit on high so I guess my ears are delicate. 🤣
Hpa300 is better
Cool! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Any specific reason you like the HPA300 better? Perhaps I'll try it.
Check out the reviews…..very positive
Why would you reduce the sound for the video, what kind of review is this? That tells me this filter must be really loud so you have to hide it!
The point in the video where I reduced the volume was so you could hear me explain the different modes. The volume of the unit is at normal volume except where noted. If you go to 1:11 in the video you can hear it at full volume recorded from 5 feet away. I did that because I don’t like to sit right on top of the unit because it’s drawing allergens to it.
