I live in an old house with my grandmother. The room I sleep in is VERY dusty, will this filter reduce the dust in the air?

This is not a vacuum. I suggest vacuuming first -- especially the drapes (washing them, too). Hopefully there are no serious mold-spores growing amongst the walls in a musty old house. (A fumigating may be necessary.) I suppose that on a medium/high speed, this machine would most likely really help clean the air. As I mentioned in my review, it has really helped my father -- who lives along a dusty street with lots of flowers/tress. He told me again yesterday that it has helped clear his sinuses.

I used it for ultrasonic humidifier for medium to large rooms and I did not find it to be very effective in reducing/removing white dust

I have a fairly powerful unit so I did not have a problem with the filter. It is pretty dense so it will reduce some of the airflow. But on the positive side, its easy to keep clean and reuse.

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.

the life of the filter is rated using the dust cover. although removing the dust cover will initially increase the air flow, once the filter begins to get clogged with dust it will slow the flow of air and substantially reduce the effectiveness of the filter. your hyper fan will work great. just keep the dust cover clean.

It seems to help quit a bit at my house. We live in western oklahoma do we're constantly battle dust but it has been less since we started using the purafier. We have to clean the first filter about once a month but yes it does help!

Cant say for sure that it eliminates dust. But it does clean the air. And it does clean the air out well. All i can say is that i sleep so much better after purchasing these units. I have four of them, one for each room.

None, you must choose the type of filters based on your specific ned, such as dust, organic vapors, etc.

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.

I suspect that Trend would say NO; however, I have been cleaning mine by shaking or beating the outside dust off and using compresses air to assist from the inside of the filter.So far it seems to be working for me. I have extra filters on hand for the time when I consider the current filters too dirty or worn. You can also use the airflow meter to evaluate the state of the filters.

It helps some, but this size is meant for a bedroom or other small rooms not a living room. I have mine in my bedroom on my side table (not on the floor) and have noticed some difference in the dust on the furniture.

I think it will do if you hook it with a smal tank. The air tank will give you some littles minutes of dust blowing. Keep in mind that utility use a lots of air... Depend of how long you want to blow...

I use mine in a wood shop. I replace the filter when it has a noticeable coat of dust (the noiceable coat-like a layer of sweepable dust on the workbench) on it.

Yes -- it isn't the quietest air filter in the world. Even at the quietest setting 5' from my bed it does help me get to sleep (i.e.: white noise).

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.

Eventually the filter will need to be replaced. The replacement Frequency depends on usage. In my case, usage is moderate, less than 12 hours per week, so I expect the filter will last several years. The "cleaner" mechanism works very well to remove the more coarse grain dust, but the very fine dust will get trapped in the filter and build up over time. I am very pleased with the performance of this unit. I added a third party remote to complete the configuration.

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.
