I am looking for an air purifier that puts out the air from the front of the unit. Can anyone tell me if this one does?

Liz, this purifier sucks in air from the front of the unit and releases it from the top of the unit.

No, it doesn't. It pulls in thru the front & exhausts thru the back. You have to give it space to 'breathe' off of the wall... Still works well though in small bedroom.

The Hamilton Beach perma filter stands upright so the air can be faced forward to blow out.

I don't keep a fan next to it. I have a ceiling fan I keep on low and an air purifier that runs, so there is air movement in my home. Seems that is all the air I need, it works great that way.

Im sorry Amy, but I don't know about the other unit. What I can say about this is its silent on level one, barely audible at level 2, and a little loud at 3 but it moves lots of air at 3. It has a separate carbon filter which is nice b/c they require frequent changing.I like how this unit has an auto setting, allowing it to go up or down depending on the air quality. I also like how it can turn the plasma function off while still filtering air

Call Honeywell customer service. I have this purifier; it does a wonderful job.

Good Morning! No I am sorry to say it only clears the air directly under your nose. For other areas I use the Holmes air purifier. I love the way they work and they are extremely affordable. Due to breathing and allergy issues we never have the ozone on and we actually put tape so that we do not turn it on accidently. We have been using the original (unscented) Holmes for over 10 years and it is extremely affordable and rinse and vacuum the filter every week or two with a dust buster.

There are two dials on the front of the machine. One dial is for the ozone option, the other for the regular air cleaning option. If you don't want the ozone option, don't turn the ozone dial on. Each dial has a definite clicking sound alerting you that you have turned it on or off. Only the ozone option uses a plate (2 of them) inserted in the rear of the machine that creates ozone. You have the option of inserting one or both plates. You will have to experiment once you purchase the machine whether you will need both or not. Everything depends upon how bad the odors are you are trying to remove. The fan in the machine is very powerful. You can adjust the strength of the fan and ozone output by turning the dials.

I believe it does, but I can't quantify it for you! Basically, we see significantly less dust in the room we use it in as compared to before we bought it and in rooms we don't have an air purifier. We live on the cusp of central Texas going to west Texas, which means lots of dust and wind to blow it into the house, so we are very happy with it.

does not have an air filter as it is primarily designed to dehumidify air, which it does well. the amount of air released is less than what is taken in due to moisture removal. suggest you consider a separate air cleaner.

Hi Patricia...I had the same thing happen to mine but the high pitched noise eventually occurred on all of the speeds. It was not constant...it would come and go but it was very annoying. Couldn't figure out a way to get into the unit to see what was going on. Seemed to me to be some sort of lubrication issue. In any event we really liked the air purifier so we just purchased a new one. It works great and it's one of the least expensive on the market.

It maybe intrusive but Hey..if don't want it work well..then don't keep it 3ft from the wall..understand the air will be grasp around it..if it only comes from one direction..then your not getting the full effect of the purifier ..and you might as well not have one. Anything that circulates better air quality needs to grasp from various directions..I hope you have figured something out by now. I just happened to see this. Mine was in the middle of the living room ..but in understanding what the unit needs to do and for me to get full benefits. I'm totally pleased.

I have two air purifiers in my house. The one in my family room is the Honeywell short round purifier with the replacement filter and the HEPA inside filter. It is not quiet but it does a good job of removing dog/cat/and parrot dust and dander. I only run it at night because it is loud when trying to watch tv. I have a blueair air purifier in my bedroom and that runs all the time. It is very quiet and the filter has to be replaced about every 3-6 months. It has a reminder to let you know when it is time to be replaced. Hope this helps.

This is a heater with an air purifier built-in. You are unable to just use the air purifier.

It does blow out of the top in the back. but it blows straight up. I guess I wouldn't want it real close to a wall or under a picture or two which would then get any dirt that didn't get filtered by the 3 filters. I don't think there is any such dirt but who knows?

It is kind of an odd air circulator. It draws air in through the front and out the top. I got mine because my wood stove has made my house dusty but it also draws the cooler air from the floor and circulates the warm air up near the ceiling. I imagine you could lay it on its back to direct the air flow. It is also designed to be hung on the wall upside-down which is great for filtering the air in smoky rooms.

Try pushing the prime button while the filter is running. It will help purge the excess air from the system. If it doesn't help, the company that makes the filter is really good about helping you fix any issues with the unit even if it means sending you a replacement. I had a problem with my filter leaking and they sent me another one right away. Since then I have had no issues with the filter.

I don't feel the ST70 does a good job filtering the air for dust of any kind except in the close vicinity of the unit. It is really only a small ozone generator and does do a good of freshing the air. I have the unit in a large walk in closet (8' x 12') that does not have forced air circulation and I still get dust accumulation on my clothes.

No, but it does purifiy the air! I have one downstairs in the family room by the laundry area where the littery boxes are and one upstairs in the sunroom.
