Does this purifier do a good job of getting rid of dust in a medium sized room? That's the most important feature I'm looking for.

Dust still accumulates on the windowsills and blinds, but it does reduce the amount of dust. I'd say it does as good a job as you can expect.

We ordered this for our son who suffers from nasal allergies and it has helped a lot. The air quality has improved significantly and the dust has been kept at bay.

I have it working in a 475 Sq. Ft. room, and it removes all of the dust in the air. It also reduces the dust on surface areas, but I don't think any purifier will keep surface areas completely free of dust.

We have seen a decrease in dust, but of course, you can never get rid of all the fine dust, especially if you have a window that you open now and then. This Holmes machine seems to be helping quite a bit and the room always seems fresher too. We do let in run about an hour before we go to bed. When it is very warm weather, we have let it run all night on low, and it seems to help us breath and sleep better.

The unit is small and I don't know how many square feet is it supposed to cover. I use it in my bedroom which is 16 X 16, but some dust still accumulates. I mostly wanted it for smoke from the fires we have in the summer.

I swear by this thing it works great. It wont pull dust off of thing that it settles on you do still have to dusk but it works really well on air quality.We put one in the basement of our new place to get rid of the musty smell. Its not like an industrial size cleaner but after a few days it drastically improved my breathing down there.

The vac would work very well but keep in mind the hepa filter is expensive. Mine does a good job on floors but I,m using for lead renovation work. For other jobs I use a vaccum wih cheaper filters.

I keep it on low during the day and medium at night. It runs constantly with no problems. I keep it in my bedroom and I do notice that the air quality and dust level is noticeably cleaner and fresher. I am going to purchase one for my living room soon.

I've got 2 of these and my house is still very dusty, despite bi-weekly professional cleaning. I do know that the germguardian does help, since it's filters get filthly as well and need frequent cleaning themselves. But you shouldn't count on it to keep your house dust-free.

I have used it in a very dusty and ash filled area under extreme conditions. the room I use it in is 20' x 8' x 8'. I actually go through a set of filters every 2 months. definitely worth it though.

it helps eliminate all allergens, dander, and viruses i think as small as .5-.3 microns. but im almost certain it is .3 :) also the genius 5 is good but i have the genius 4 and i love it. I leave mine running 24/7 and I've had it about 6 months now. i just cleaned my filter and i was AMAZED at all the dust and dander it cleaned out of the air. I have 2 labs so i leave it running to filter their hair and it does wonders. would highly recommend getting one of these!

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.

No, it's the most basic filter you can imagine. Very low power and will only help with small spaces with large dust particles. Don't waste your money.

Hmmmm.....I'm not sure. I have a large unit in my bedroom, and a smaller unit in my front room. They pretty much handle the whole first floor of my home. I don't use the upstairs, so it's not necessary to have a unit there. I will tell you, both rooms have cold air returns, and the units are close to them. My house is VERY old. I used to have to dust daily....now, maybe once a week. When the dust starts to build up faster, I know it's time to check the filters. I have a huge German Shepherd, so I vacuum the filters twice a month.I have 2 bedrooms, a very large front room, and a very large kitchen on my first floor. I also have severe allergies. The two units are perfect! Hope that helps. Hmmmm.....I'm not sure. I have a large unit in my bedroom, and a smaller unit in my front room. They pretty much handle the whole first floor of my home.

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.

No. I empty it quite often. I bought it for my craft room. It works great I can't use my big vac. It picks up the small stuff (beads) and I can remove them from the filter. I have used it at work to get the dust around my desk.

I have had this one a short time but comparing it to the shop vac I was using this one seems to be better. The filter on this one does not let any dust out into the room. It says you can clean warm ash but I always wait until it is cool to the touch before I start cleaning. The only draw back is the hose could have been a foot or two longer.

I don't smoke, but it really does a good job cleaning out dust from the air (I live next to a road, and the road dust is bad). I think you will be happy with it. You might just need to change filters more often

Yes, it does help with dust. I keep one running in our guest room and have found the I dust in there less frequently as a result.Product DescriptionColor: BlackThe 3-in-1 air cleaning system with pet pure filters is perfect for homes with pets and allergy sufferers! true hepa and anti-mite filter captures 99.97% of dust and allergens as small as. 3 microns in size. more than just a filter, multiple levels of cleaning capture pet dander, pet saliva allergens, kill airborne germs and bacteria with powerful uv-c and fight mold and pet odors.

I just cleaned my filter after over a year(Dyson says every 6 months, whoops) and it was as clean as a whistle. I don't know how you come to your conclusions, but I find their vacs to be quite well engineered. You can take most of the air passageways apart using a dime in a slot provided, meaning you can unclog the unit yourself instead of paying to have it done.I'd buy another one without hesitation.

I run one of these 24x7 in my son's room and I leave the PlasmaWave turned off. It still filters fine, and I notice alot less dust accumulated dust around the unit. When the plasmawave is one, I get a fine white powdery/dusty stuff that gets all over the front plastic removable cover and the table it sits on.

It will help, but you will have to run it at a higher speed and replace prefilters more often. Best bet is to purchase a larger machine for the room. Technically it will filter the particulate matter from cigarettes, since the device was developed as a Class II medical device, but this is the retail model.
