Sorry Susan, we don't have a whole house air purifier. We do use a couple of Blueair air purifiers in the master bedroom and family room that have worked well over the years. Filters for both run about $100 annually. You may want to review the attached link for more options. http://www.allergybuyersclub.com/air-purifiers.html?gclid=CNjXksSI8MICFaHm7AodZmkA_A

Hello it is a true HEPA air purifier It works very well. it dose has an Ionizers but I never use it as the filter is more than good enough for me I use MERV11 From Filters First Half the cost of Hunter and the 4 ft cut to size charcoal 2 pack pre filters from them to. I'm quite happy with it and I feel much better now that I'm using it most of the time I keep it on low Hope this helps John

I have the older model of Oreck Air Puriifer, my store in RI sold the replacement filters for $50. (that is when I gave up on my air purifier) They used to see the filters at a reasonable price, but claimed the $50 filter would last longer. I no longer use it.

The Personal Ionic Air Purifier--Black is a bit larger and seemed to have greater output. One thing for sure though, it lasted longer the the mini_Mate. It is what I always used when traveling, going to movies etc.

It comes with a HEPA filter and a charcoal pre-filter. I would suggest buying a pack of replacement charcoal pre-filters at the time of purchase because they get used up every three months or so. I think that they reccommend it for use in rooms that are 168 square feet (12 by 14 feet). I use it in a larger room, and I think that it does accomplish something (I see less floaties, smell less kitchen odors), but its not as effective as the unit I run in my bedroom, which is a smaller area. If you have serious allergies and this is the solution I would buy a unit that is suggested to run in the size room that you have. If you're a mild allergy sufferer, then it may do well enough for you in a larger room.

I recommend you call Austin Air with questions about their products. They were propt and knowledgeable with the information I needed when replacing the filter for my Austin Air Healthmate air purifier. When in doubt, go to the source.

How is this product vs Airfree Onix 3000 Ozone Free Home Air Purifier. I want something that will work and not have to really replace filters. mainly need it for the pet hair and dust in the rooms.

This unit uses 3 hepa filters, which come with it new, and 1 pre-filter also included. If you buy replacement hepa filters on Amazon look for the 2 pack. It's barely more than the single filter price.

I can only respond as to the filter I received from Boair. The problem I experienced was the filter's inability to capture particles that an inexpensive filter purchased from a big box store was successfully blocking. I consider the filter provided me by Boair, a complete waste of money.

I'll make my own filter and many more using :Honeywell Universal Carbon Air Purifier Replacement Pre-Filter, HRF-AP1 / Filter (A) . At just over $8 it is worth a try and I can get far more than 1!

if this is the unit that you have: (Holmes True HEPA Allergen Remover for Large Rooms, HAP756-U) you need three filters per unit. Hope this helps.

HEPPA Filters of this size when in a clean house will last 3-5 years. The pre filter should be changed every six month to a year. I bought this unit for my Grandmother and wish I had just bought the airpura for $200 extra dollars because the quality is night and day. The motor on this unit is not good. My aller air is still going after seven to eight years, while the Austin air motor is already making noises. Plus I read more reviews after I bought the unit, with people complaining the engine dies quick. Look into Air Pura is basically an improved Aller Air. Trust me a good air purifier is worth the money, an IQ air I bought whole sale basically cured my mother's chronic caugh/choking. Hope this helps.

There are two filter that the tower uses. The first, is the Air Purifier Booster Filter and then there is the Hepa Filter. I've had mine for about 2 years and run it everynight, and so far, have only replaced the Hepa Filter only once. The Booster Filter does NOT need to be replaced! Yes, you heard it right! I Vacuum mine and good as new. Some previous post wrote that they washed it. I think that is a waist of time and too much mess. Get a good vacuum and hose it down. Hope this helps.

I bought an air purifier from Hammacher Schlemmer for $300 and have not had downy mildew since. Lots of fans help also.

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.

Ther are probably different options, but I've not found them. Even at $90, getting the full set of filters is only a quarter a day. I just replaced mine after about a year, and the unit is working a lot more efficiently. I did find that if you run a hand vac over the odor sensor, it works better too.
