Dopes anyone have the artcile in Consumer Reports (I think Feb. 2002)
that rates whole house air cleaners.

my contractor of choice prefers selling me a Trane electronic air
cleaner. Consumer Reports recommends the Aprilaire 5000. Any
suggestions/experiences would be appreciated.

Yes, it was Feb. 2002.

From top to bottom:
All these four would be in the 'Excellent' rating.

Aprilaire 5000 = over 90% $500 Cost of filters= $42 (year)
Carrier Aira = over 90% $500 Cost of filters= washable
Trion SE1400 = over 90% $400 Cost of filters= washable
Honeywell F50= over 80% $400 Cost of filters= washable
(F300)

Aprilair2200 only rated around 60% (between Good and Very Good)
(2400)
