air purifiers – a must for allergy sufferers

If you are an allergy sufferer, chances are, you may be sensitive to dust, smoke and dust mites. Personally, I was diagnosed with rhinitis and sinusitis and my nose would react very quickly to dusty and smoky places. Air quality is particularly important to me and with that in mind, I have had a few air purifiers at home, one in my home office and another one in my bedroom.

Blueair air purifiers or the ultra quiet Rabbit Air BioGS, I have read good reviews and ratings from these two. Here’s the pros and cons of the Rabbit Air BioGS:

Pros:

-The charcoal/pre filters are washable in sink or dishwasher
-The HEPA filter is coated with antiviral/antibacterial agent to last longer
-1.5 year filter life with continuous use.
-5 year Warranty
-Very clear high tech looking front display
-Body painted with anti electro-static coating to prevent dust build up
-HEPA filter has a gasket on bottom edge perimeter to prevent air leakage
-The Odor and Particle sensors on front actually function accurately. I would have thought it was a cheap gimmick but they actually work! Its a nice extra feature you don’t see elsewhere. (when you buy one spray some air freshener or puff powder somewhere in middle of room and watch the odor/particle lights crank up shortly afterward)

Improvement points to consider, according to a customer who bought the Rabbit Air BioGS a year ago:

Cons:

-The unit requires a remote control to get to all its higher functions. All you can do on the unit itself is turn power on/off. The remote uses over sized watch battery so it wont be something you have laying around the house as a spare backup.
-The Ionizer turns itself on every time you select a new function on the remote (speeds and settings) So, you need to turn it back off everytime you change its settings (not a big deal)
-Some people were surprised by its size. But after getting it its about mid thigh high. You can press it up against a wall if you want.. and since its a somewhat thin profile it takes up less floor space then thise giant square or round designs other air purifiers have.
