Hello All,

I was wondering if anyone here has had experience with home air
purifiers. What I'm asking about is one like the link below shows,

http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/produ...BV Cookie=Yes

I'm mainly interested in reducing the amount of dust in the air,
which of course ends up on the floor, furniture etc, etc. My house
doesn't have a forced air heat or cooling so I think that's what I
have so much dust, as I have no pets, kids or for that fact I'm not
home all week as I travel for work. There's nothing there stirring
the air so I'm assuming it's the lack of air movement that is the
problem?
So my main question is would these type of air purifiers help to trap
the dust in the air and keep it off everything else?

Thanks,
Brian


Yes it will help, but you have dust coming from somewhere lack of
circulation does not create dust. Could be carpet, smokers, shoes air
infiltration (you have that, we all do) etc.. That air filter will help,
but may not do as much as you would like.

A cheaper air cleaner may work as well. You appear to be concerned
with just dust and not allergy issues so a less expensive non HEPA may
work as well or better in some ways.

Hi Joseph,

Your right, my main concern is trying to control dust, but anything else
that gets pulled out of the air would be a definite bonus. I. thinking I may
buy one for a single room and give it a try to see how much benefit I see
from it.

I'm looking at the Hunter brand that Lowes sells, they're not extremely
pricey and they have a mail in rebate going on right now.

Thanks,
Brian
