will this help to actually clean the air of pollen and animal dander or does it only remove smells?

I wouldn't use it for that. I think they make fans with ionizers to remove pollen, etc

I do believe it is more for removing smells and orders; but I can see as powerful as the fan is that it will remove pollen. But with that said I dont believe this is the type of filter or fan that your looking for.

This fan's primary purpose is to remove odors, with the source of odors being micro-particles. This fan will remove odors, pollen, animal dander, etc. However, this fan is only effective over a certain cubic footage. You should look into the size of the space in question and buy a filter system with the appropriate size fan and rpm.

Yes it does, the purifier works best on the dander, it's not the hair people are bothered by it the Dander. That's why I got this for my daughters boyfriend, he has allergies to my cats dander. This Purifier works great & it's quiet!

Hi Teri. I used this to clean the glass window on my gas fireplace, and did not notice any odor. Stuff worked OK, but not sure I'd buy it again. WINDEX and a scrubber are probably just as effective.

Yes it does reduce odors from other rooms here that drift into my room, such as cologne, plug-in air fresheners, aerosol air fresheners, kitchen odors. Even using the washable pre-filter instead of the charcoal one works, I believe the ionization helps to filter out odors.

No. It is strictly an odor remover for the air....and it works great!!! Try Fabreeze for fabrics. It actually works too!

This will not remove all the hair particulate out of the air, so you will still have issues with the allergies. There are two settings that will remove the odors. UV and Ions. The ion charging is the most effective; however, the most dangerous to pets and humans. You should not run the ionizer for several hours before a room is occupied by pets of humans. I have one of these in my kids bedroom where her dog ( Pug) spends most of his time. I don't run the ionizer, but at full fan and UV and it does a pretty good job keeping the orders down.

I have used the mini-mate air purifier for over a decade. Yes, It will reduce the smell of perfumes and any other smell. How I definitely know that it works, is that during a time when my office was replacing carpet, I became quite ill from the chemical odors. I am chemically sensitive. I was able to be at the office when I wore my mini-mate. Most all of the noxious smells and side effects on me were reduced or eliminated. You can read more about the research done on this product on the web.

For most people it will work great for animal allergies. It does take some time to kick in though.

The ionizer purifies the air in the room. It will help eliminate some of the odors. We have our fan in the kitchen so we use the ionizer a lot.

I purchased it for a room where I have two litter boxes for my two cats and it has not made a significant difference. I clean the litter boxes twice daily, I sweep any trail of litter from floor at the same time. I would say it reduced the smell by 15 to 20%.

Im not sure. Saved box, says removes ragweed, grass and tree pollen. Also, dust mite debris, mold spores, household dust, pet dander and smoke. Airborne pollutants as small as 2 microns.

Removes up to 99% of airborne particles such as pollen, dust, mold, pet dander and smoke, providing relief from irritants in the air. HEPA type permanent filter captures particles as small as 2 microns so you can breathe comfortably.

I would assume it would help with musty smells because it effectively rids cat urine odor, which is very strong.

Yes, I it does because it is a type of surfactant(soap kills insects) that surrounds the mite(even after dead), pet dander, mold spore, and for pollen thus keeping the allergen from emiting the proteins that cause allergies. This product combined with anti-allergen spray(on carpet and upholstery) has really reduced our allergies.

It helps, but is not a total solution. I use it in conjunction with chemical deodorizes. I Would say it helps control odors more so than eliminating them.

I honestly haven't noticed that this product works in that capacity at all. It actually hasn't stopped or removed any odor that I have noticed. The one thing I have noticed is that we sneeze less which is great for us with seasonal allergies! :) Hope this helps someone.

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.
