After using the Honeywell Air Touch U2 for over a month in my Thane (Mumbai MMR region) apartment, I’ve formed a clear idea of what it offers in everyday use. This is my first experience with a full-sized air purifier, and while it has some quirks, I’ve come to rely on it more than expected, especially given the humidity and lack of ventilation in my rented flat.
5Maintenance and filter life
Maintenance is quite simple. The pre-filter can be removed and washed regularly, which helps reduce replacement costs. The rest of the filters are easy to access and replace. According to Honeywell, the Pre Filter and Humidifier Filter can last up to two years, while Compound Filter 1 (Anti-Bacterial, Silver Ion and H13 HEPA) and Compound Filter 2 (Cold Catalyst and Activated Carbon) have a lifespan of up to 9,000 hours or about one year.
The purifier also includes a filter reset indicator, so there is no need to guess when a replacement is due. Replacement filters are not cheap, but given the level of purification and convenience, it feels like a fair trade-off.
