I am more concerned with removing dust and pollen from the air. How does the Venta airwasher stack up to an air purifier?

Personally I used ours, owned 3 that are now sitting on a shelf in our garage, for humidity and to remove cig. smoke from the air. If I had to rate them, I would give them a 3 on a scale of 1 -10. Also, keep in mind, they are tough to clean, if you can get all the "white" accumulation off at all, and the additives are expensive. I would not recommend this product PERIOD! For your needs, there are products out there that will do a much better job in my humble opinion.

Living in the desert the removal of dust and pollen are dear to me. I chose the Venta Air Washer because of my room size. I also needed the use of a humidifier for the winter months. I find the Venta most useful in removing dust and allergens from the air. I did my homework and considered my needs, chose the Venta Air Washer. If your room size is large and dust and allergens are a concern, I recommend the Venta Air Washer.

I've used the Venta's for over ten years. The best humidfier on the market. They do take the dust out of the air-you can see it on the fan and the inside of the Venta when you wash it. As far as pollen? Venta's are basically winter humidifiers (no pollen at that time of the season)and not made specifically to take pollen out of the air. For that you would need a specialized air purifier made for that use.

A HEPA filter air purifier would work better than a Venta. It's primarily designed as a humidifier with the air purifier aspect a secondary function.

if possible put the vac outside and connect thru an open window with an extension hose. Otherwise get an add-on fine filter for your vac. The dust can be phenomenal otherwise.

We bought two of the Fellowes air purifiers (the 200 and 100 models) specifically because we learned our toddler had a minor cat allergy and we hoped it could help. Completely anecdotal evidence, but I really like it and think they have been working well. I would definitely recommend the 200 over the 100 (better airflow design, actually more compact/smaller, quieter on lowest setting yet stronger fan on higher settings).We also bought a robotic vacuum to clean everyday to try to help with the dander, and I think that has been a really big help as well. Good luck!

the unit has air quality monitor, clean room mode, sensor for particle and dust. True HEPA filtration captures 99.97% of pollen, dust, pet dander, and smoke particles as small as 0.3 microns.*From the air that passes through the filter

I ended up getting another Honeywell cleaner - Honeywell 50100 Enviracaire Air Purifier and have been very satisfied with it.

I wouldn't say it cleans. I have it in my bedroom to catch airborne particles that I'm allergic to, such as pollen and cat dander. I think it would be expecting too much for it to protect the entire living area.

Fusky, I am not sure because I do not have pollen issues, but we I have 8 people living in an RV and this machine keeps the air fresh and sweet, never musty and stale, so it must pull a lot out of the air. I clean it once a week and there is a lot of dust and stuff on the filter. I am very happy with it.

I just love my Edenpure G7 . I have asthma and the clean ionized air has been a life saver for me. When I get up in the morning I start the ionizer and throughout the day I use the sanitizer and purifier . It is a wonderful air cleaner for summer and winter when the heater is blowing. I highly recommend it to anyone, try it!

This was a replacement for us. We had everything already. But I would recommend the vac. Head with a beater bar, as I do not have . We do not have a filter. But this should be vented outside. You never get any type of dust or odor coming back into the house. That's one of the great pluses of a central vac

Yes this Cloud air purifier has an ionizer that emits negative ions. That charges up the particulate in the air and stick to each other. They become weighted and falls to the ground and is vacuumed up with your normal cleaning. So to answer your question yes it will settle out the dust in your home or office. You will not see dust when the sun comes in and lights up the air in your home. Now if you are also looking to remove wood burning odor the Summit ozone air purifier would do the same as the Cloud but with odor killing ozone. Any other questions you can also call me Lou Lombardi toll free 800-868-5534 .

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.

I have 2 of those along with a bigger Hamilton Beach air filter in my living room/kitchen. They are very effective, however, if your carpet reeks that bad you might want to get a carpet steam cleaner also. The air purifiers have taken care of the old pet urine smell that had seeped into the padding under the carpeting but it doesn't do that much with urine in the actual carpet.

I love my unit. I am asthmatic myself and without it I was sick all the time. We set ours on top of the refrigerator and it keeps the air clean.

It does a very good job of removing dust, pollen, and other particulates, particularly if you turn on the anion generator. That helps precipitate particulates out of the air so you don't breathe them.

It is the same vacuum with an added "hepa" filter that clips onto the unit's exhaust. I tested my unit, with and without the filter, and found the filter definitely reduced the micro-particulates from the exhaust. I don't and wouldn't use the vacuum without the filter.

It has two filters and they are effective to trap pet hair, dirt in the first filter and minute particles in the inner filter...please refer to website for details of the filters..I used 1 air purifier for about 150 sq ft...I think you might need 2 purifiers for your space...please check with Oreck...I love these purifiers...made my house air smell fresh and cool like mountain air...
