Spring Allergy Season Calls for a Great Air Filter

There's been so much reported lately about the pollutants and allergens that contaminate indoor air. Smoking and pet dander, impurities from mold and other contaminants should all be of concern to all of us. But a good air purifier is not just for people with allergies or bronchial problems. It can freshen the stale air inside a home and make it smell like the air in a mountain valley. That makes the overall smell of a home so much brighter and just plain cleaner. These machines are also a real asset to people who are sick of all the spray fresheners and mechanisms that only add more cover-up odors to the air. Many people who've bought filters and used them in the past become almost addicted to the way they improve the air quality indoors. If you consider all the money spent on potpourri and sprays and plug-ins, a good filter is a sensible investment. It should last for years if taken care of and the good ones don't have to cost an arm and leg, either.

Consumerresearch.com lists their best pick for great air filters and the IQAir HealthPro is at the top of it. The online price range is around $635.00 - $796.00 These filters use Hyper HEPA technology that's the same used in million dollar clean rooms and hospitals. The manufacturer is IQAir. http://www.iqair.us/residential/roomairpurifiers/healthpro.php
This company states that their IQAir HealthPro and the IQAir HealthPro Plus "are the world's most advanced air cleaners available for homes and offices". Their air cleaners remove " more pollution particles, such as allergens and dust from the air than conventional air cleaners. Germany's consumer foundation rated the IQAir HealthPro Plus the most effective air cleaner for allergy sufferers."

Whirlpool Whispure 450 Air Purifier
The Whispure is an air purifier that claims to be so whisper quiet it won't disturb sleep at all. It uses about the same wattage as an ordinary light bulb, so users save money on their energy bills. The design lets it blend into any home's décor, so that it works anywhere--even against the wall or in a corner. The design is smart, with a large open face for air intake and top flow air output. Whirlpool is a great company with good name recognition and this may be a buy for those with less affluent budgets for these filters. The online sites are offering it from $230-$280 and it Covers 450 sq. ft. Buy two and have quite a bit of a medium-sized home covered. Dimensions are 17.75" X 11"X 22" high.

The Blueair 601 Purifier is also rated high by consumerresearch.com. It's available at Walgreens for $599.95 Blueair boasts that the 601 cleans more air, more efficiently-but a full look into the web site will give more comparison information and some contact help. It will clean the air in rooms as large as 679 square feet with a "patented two-stage HEPASilent™ technology captures 99.97% of 0.1 micron particles, including allergy-provoking pollen grains, dust mites, mold spores and pet dander particles". This one's definitely worth a good long look, especially for those people who have serious allergy sufferers in their home.
Blueair is the system for people living with allergies, asthma, or other respiratory conditions, or for anyone who wants cleaner, more breathable air.
