Honeywell Air Purifier HPA600

Introduction

The Honeywell Air Purifier HPA600 is a premium air cleaning solution designed for professional and home environments seeking powerful, reliable air purification. This advanced True HEPA air purifier captures up to 99.97% of microscopic airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns, including dust, pollen, pet dander, smoke, and mold spores, making it ideal for allergy and asthma sufferers. Its state-of-the-art particle and VOC sensors continuously monitor indoor air quality, providing real-time feedback through an intuitive LED indicator. The purifier automatically adjusts its settings to maintain clean air, combining convenience with superior performance.

Targeted towards individuals needing effective air purification in medium to large rooms (up to 325 sq. ft.), the HPA600 is well-suited for bedrooms, living rooms, offices, and professional spaces. It is particularly beneficial for those sensitive to allergens or concerned about indoor air contaminants such as tobacco smoke or cooking odors. The air purifier features quiet Sleep Mode for nighttime use and easy-to-maintain, long-lasting 3-in-1 HEPA/carbon filters requiring replacement only once a year.

Priced in the higher mid-range category, typically around $600–$750, the Honeywell Air Purifier HPA600 offers a robust alternative to other premium models. It is widely available through online retailers and specialty appliance stores.

3-IN-1 HEPA FILTER

HOW YOUR AIR PURIFIER WORKS

The Honeywell Professional Series™ True HEPA Air Purifier uses a powerful 4 Step Cleaning System to help purify the air that passes through the filters in the unit (Fig. 1).

• Step 1:  Washable/Vacuumable Mesh Pre-filters at Air Intake – these filters help to capture larger airborne particles such as pet hair/fur and dust before they reach the HEPA filter. These filters should be removed approximately every 3 months and washed or vacuumed clean. 
• Step 2:  HEPA Filters capture up to 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.1 micron 
• Step 3:  Antimicrobial coating inhibits the growth of bacteria on filters.  
• Step 4:  Granulated Activated Carbon Filter traps odors and VOCs.

SET-UP

• Select a firm, level, and flat location. For best airflow, locate the unit at least 6 inches from any wall or furniture.
• When operating, large volumes of air are drawn toward the air purifier. Surrounding areas should be cleaned and/or vacuumed frequently to prevent the buildup of dust and other contaminants. This may also help prolong the life of the filters. If the unit is placed on a light-colored carpet, a small mat or rug should be used underneath to prevent staining. This is especially important in homes with contamination from smoking, fireplaces, or where candles are burned.

FIRST TIME USE 

There are two 3-in-1 HEPA Filters supplied with your air purifier. These filters provide three stages of cleaning performance: HEPA filter media that help capture up to 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.1 micron, antimicrobial coating that inhibits the growth of bacteria on filters, and activated carbon granules that help absorb odors and VOCs. The filters are wrapped to ensure purity, and are labeled to help identify the proper replacement filter (Type Z filters should be replaced 1x/year). Before using your new air purifier, you must remove the wrappers covering the filters. 

•  Make sure the air purifier is OFF and unplugged. 
• Open the rear door to remove the filters . Remove the HEPA filters from the two sides of the unit (see Fig. 2). 
• Remove the filters from the plastic bags. 
• Install the filters into the unit with the red pull tabs facing outward  (this will facilitate filter removal later). The side of the filter with the carbon granules (black side) and foam seal should be facing into the purifier housing (see Fig. 3). 
• Close the rear door and plug the unit into an outlet. You are now ready to use your new Honeywell Professional Series™ True HEPA Air Purifier.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

• We recommend that you clean the air purifier at least once every 3 months and before extended storage. Use only a dry cloth to wipe the external surfaces of the air purifier.
• DO NOT USE WATER, WAX POLISH, OR ANY CHEMICAL SOLUTION.
• If your Air Purifier will not be used for more than 30 days, we recommend that you:
  • Remove the 3-in-1 HEPA Filters from the unit.
  • Wrap the Filters in an airtight plastic bag for best storage.
