The title says Air Purifier Mist. Does this actually purify air? If so, how and how much?

It doesn't "purify" the air in the usual sense of processing it internally via a filter to remove impurities. It's probably marketing-speak for "humid air is good for you". All it does is produce a fine mist with all the benefits of such action. For all I know this could have some sort of a minor "purifying" effect (maybe large particles can be trapped by droplets and fall to the ground?) but if you're looking for an air purifier per se, there is probably a better choice than this.

When water vapor and airborne dust, pollen, or whatever meet, the particles become too heavy to stay up.

I don't think it purifies. It just adds moisture/mist to the air but I did not see any feature to take in air and purify it.

This is an AIR purifier. It purifies the AIR you breath. It's not a carpet cleaner. If a cat has peed on your carpet, clean your carpet. Go buy a bissell....and also pick up a cat litter box while you're at it.

From my understanding it ionizes the air to attract dirt to it but creates an emf field. (Don't know how true it is)... I don't like high emf fields, so when in doubt, I pulled the purifier apart and unplugged the plasma.

Hi A. Quintero The product description does say: Product Description True-Air Compact Allergen reducer Air cleaner , featuring 3M Filtrete allergen reducer filter. Effective at capturing dust, dust mite debris, mold, pollen, smoke & pet dander. Has 3 speed control for low, medium, high setting. Low cost filter replacement. Filter lasts up to 120 days . For room sizes up to 210 square feet. So I am assuming that it will? I was actually cleaning and dusting my room today when I realized, too, that there is too much dust all the time so I came on to see about getting something to capture it before it lands everywhere. So I have not used this product but am looking for something for that purpose also. But from the description it does seem to capture dust -- not sure if it will cut back on cleaning time though. Anyone know??? Also, what does this thing run on? I guess electricity?? Does it use a lot of electricity? I wouldn't want to run up a large bill for an air filter.

Since this system generates a fine vapor mist, one might argue that humidity is added into the surrounding air. However, it would be very limited, and would depend on the area of the room served by the diffuser. Also, humidifiers move very large volumes of liquid into the air so I would not purchase this item to be used for that purpose as it's effects would probably be small. You could always experiment by purchasing an inexpensive hygrometer to measure ambient water vapor content in your room both before and after using the device as a humidifier. The room would have to be very small for it to be possible though, if at all. Since this system generates a fine vapor mist, one might argue that humidity is added into the surrounding air.

does not have an air filter as it is primarily designed to dehumidify air, which it does well. the amount of air released is less than what is taken in due to moisture removal. suggest you consider a separate air cleaner.

I don't know, as I haven't had that problem in the room where I use the air purifier. All I can say about it is that my allergies are much better since I bought the purifier. I use it in the bedroom.

How is this product vs Airfree Onix 3000 Ozone Free Home Air Purifier. I want something that will work and not have to really replace filters. mainly need it for the pet hair and dust in the rooms.

I don't see about "ozone" in their specifications my advice to you is call Fellowes Customer Service and ask them directly, I bought 2 of this for my daughters since they have cats they both swear that you can feel the difference with this air purifier.

Yes, it emits a cool mist and what I like about this model is it doesn't "spit" on furniture - the design prevents that. I've had other more expensive models and they left marks on furniture. I'm very pleased with this unit.

I live in a non-smoking environment, but I do notice that there are still odors with this air purifier on. This isn't the most effective air purifier out there. So, don't expect too much from it.

All GermGuardian Air Purifiers intake air in the air and blow it out on the right side to create a circular rotation of air around the room. It does a great job in purifying the air in a small office or bathroom. I just sat in front of this GermGuardian Air Purifier with the right side facing me and on the highest setting. Bear in mind, I like a cool, powerful fan as I am hot natured, and I do not believe that this air purifier could also be used as an efficient desk fan.

This is not a vaporizer,this is an air purifier. If there is steam coming out of it,then there is something wrong with it! However the air that comes out of it is cool.

The IQ Air Multi Gas does not emit any odor. However, it also has not been effective at removing perfumes,or paint fumes in my apartment. I have tried to use it on numerous substances that have bothered me and it has been useless. I have one IQ Multi Gas in my bedroom and one in my living room which is at the other end of my apartment. My apartment is about 900 square feet.It is effective at removing dust, pet hair etc.To be honest the air purifier has been a real disappointment.

I haven't measured the humidity in various parts of the room. The mist definitely dissipates within a 3 foot radius, but it still likely has humidifying effects beyond that. It will depend on the size of your room as to how much the total humidity is affected. This product works well for me because I'm just trying to get some relief when I sleep. I pull it up fairly close to my bed, point it at my head and I can feel the difference. It doesn't make anything wet though which is good.

STOP, this unit does not work at all. I bought it and returned it as the worthless quasi science trinket that it is...Don;t believe me? Start here...http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=air+purifier+test+consummer+report&view;=detail&mid;=05E963D652ABC2AA9AE105E963D652ABC2AA9AE1&first;=0&FORM;=NVPFVRIn short "about as good as nothing at all"...

Not surprised. Mine isn't producing much mist and I expect it will quit any day now. Unhappy with this purchase and not cheap. I would send it back or email the manufacturer.
