I live in a dusty area. I am looking for a space heater that also deals with the dust! How well does this clean the air?

I can only say that we do have to clean the filter every few weeks on it here in the Austin Tx area . And if you get in the habit of using the electronic on/off switch instead of the one at the bottom the heater lasts for years .

I've had mine for about a year and it does not create additional heat in the room. It does a great job of cleaning the air. I live in California with lots of dust and pollen and it does a great job keeping the air clean so I don't sneeze all of the time.

Depends on how dusty the house is and how close to the floor the return air is mounted. I clean mine twice a year.

Most of the efficiency is lost with the surrounding (lack of insulation), it has very little to do with the heater itself. With its effective air circulation, this heater is as efficient as an electric heater can be. That said, this is a beautifully put together, quiet and effective space heater.

I installed a Cyclone dust collector with mine as well so the dust collection is the best I've ever had. Clear Vue Cyclones make the best out there. I've never dealt with a better group of folks who still understand "customer service!" Hope it helps.....

The unit isn't super loud or super quiet. But you do hear when it is on. However I have slept with the unit just 2 feet away or less with no problem. The noise level shouldn't be a major concern. If it is than this type of air cleaner is not what you should be looking for to clean your air.

I have been using it in a highly dusty atmosphere, a bathroom I am remodeling and had a lot of drywall dust, concrete dust, as well as regular dust that had been making me sick. I had sprayed the room repeatedly for termites and I think the poison mixed with the dust was the culprit. Using this mask, I was able to empty the room of junk(which covered me in dust) one day, prepare the room the next day, and finally vacuum and sponge mop the room the third day. The dust did not clog the mask at all and I had no reaction to the dust, all I had to do was shower after each days task was done. This mask performed perfectly for me and I'll continue to use it when I clean my old shop building this spring, using the same filters I'm quite certain.

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.

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.

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 should be fine. Works very well for my hamsters. I have not noticed any dust.

I use it on a 1200 sq ft home and works great. I have to empty once a day. It does exhaust alot of warm air. It should be placed away from HVAC thermostat. I read alot about the unit running for a year or so and quitting. All this probably is is a dirty coil, mine quit after about 1 1/2 years. I took it apart, cleaned the coil and was back up and running great.

Have not really clean yet. The air was drawn in from the bottom and thinking I can just vacuum it with when too much dusk was trapped. This unit does not really clean dust in air, but to filter air quality and smell.

Not sure - my bed doesn't smoke. Joking aside, i found this to be the most over priced useless air cleaner. I knew it really didn't do as claimed when i watched dust moving in the air in the sunlight - it would waft gently near the purifyer and hover by it without being sucked in when it was running full force. Them the dust would move I, never entering the machine. It's a great table.

I clean it out atleast once or twice a month give or take just depends on how dusty your house is. IF you have case Dust filters.

Great. My bedroom somehow was the dustiest in the house and now with the machine, it has reduced it by half. Good luck.

I simply vacuum over the intake and it gets the dust out well. Then Windex and a cloth around the fan ring. I do the every week or so. They're great.
