I agree Consumer Reports often tests a limited selection of products, 
many times leaving important models out of the mix. They compound 
the sin by not even hinting other products are available. You'd think 
a publication interested in supporting the consumer would provide 
better information.

As for air purifiers, and on the subject of Honeywell, I wonder if 
Honeywell's energy-recovery ventilator would be a solution for some 
people? Fresh air instead of just filtering it, and no ozone (assuming 
good outdoor air quality). Expensive, but maybe a good option for 
people living with well-sealed homes/indoor air quality problems.
It would work for the whole house and fan noise wouldn't be a 
problem (located in the attic).
