Allergies are such a nuisance for so many people. All the coughing, sneezing, watery, itchy eyes at home, the office, the bedroom really gets in the way, and often ruins family and personal time, business trips and vacations. Plus, it causes us to spend more money that most of us don't have on allergy medications, tissues, trips to the doctor, copays, etc,-and who needs more expenses these days? We all just want allergy relief in our homes and offices, without spending more of our hard-earned money without solving the problem.
Now, it makes sense that if the air we breathe does not contain the pollutants that cause allergy reactions-dust, pollen, mold spores, etc, we would have fewer allergy symptoms, right? Of course it does. And a lot of people immediately go out and buy a cheap air purifier, thinking this will be the answer. Unfortunately, cheap home air purifiers are not made the same nor do they do the same job as the top-rated air cleaners. What's the difference? It's mainly the quality of the construction, how much area the air purifier will cover, and most importantly, the filters. The best portable home air cleaners, filter the air by using true HEPA air filters which remove up to 99.99% of those offending particles, and activated carbon filters that remove chemicals and gases that cause irritation, as well. Some the very best room air purifiers often have a UV option, which goes one step further using UV (ultraviolet) light to destroy mold and bacteria, as well as trapping them. Some air cleaners even produce healthy negative ions, which destroy bacteria, mold and viruses, too.
Cheap air purifiers don't have the same type of filters or technology required to truly clean the air and end up leaving many of the pollutants in the air-which causes many allergy sufferers to think that air purifiers don't work. Truth is, if you buy a portable room air purifier that is top-rated, designed to provide allergy relief, it will do its job and you'll get the relief you are seeking because it's made to truly clean the air, and usually has a strong enough motor to cycle the air several times in just a few minutes. Actually, most of the top-rated units are laboratory tested to remove 99.97% of offending particles-on the first pass, and after a few more cycles, there is virtually nothing but clean air in the room. Cheap air cleaners just aren't able to do that, and when they break down in a year or less, you'll have to buy another one that will continue to do a mediocre to poor job. Not a good deal.
And there are other benefits to having a quality home air purification system consisting of one or more portable air purifiers. You will notice that you will save time and money on cleaning and dusting because the air purifier is removing the dust before it can settle on things in your room or office. You'll also notice that you have to replace your air conditioner filters less often, as well, saving you money there. And most people notice that they are sleeping more soundly, some even claiming that snoring has drastically reduced or even eliminated. This is because clean air does not have the pollutants that irritate the sinuses and other areas of the airway so there is less swelling in those tissues-which means air passes more freely to your lungs, preventing the narrowing of air passageways that cause the snoring sound. And since these air purifiers are portable, you can easily take them with you when you travel so that you can breathe clean air wherever you go-and prevent allergy attacks when you're traveling for business or pleasure. This can be especially important in hotel rooms. Hotel rooms often have much higher amounts of dust and mold spores because most of the air conditioning units are dirty, and don't have good filters in them.
Whether you experience allergies at home, office, or both, we recommend that you do get at least one top rated air cleaner, or even better, one for the office and one at home. Having a quality portable air purifier in both places will help keep you from having relief in one place and allergy attacks at the other, so that you can save as much money as possible on allergy medications, save time on cleaning, prevent colds and flu, etc. In fact, a top rated portable home air cleaner can actually prevent you from getting sick when others around you do come down with something. Several brands like Blueair, Winix, and others have good HEPA and carbon filters plus the healthy negative ions. To help reduce or prevent illness, we recommend these brands. Whatever you do, a quality portable home or room air purifier can save you time, money, and improve your overall quality of life.
