What do you think of it? I just got one for Xmas and I think it’s a little weird how it doesn’t blow air out evry well…as if it’s not circulating but I read that that’s just how it is. Also, I cleaned it twice already in 2 weeks and there was a film of white stuff on the blades. How "thick" does the dust get on it? Will it still keep picking up allergens and dust even if there’s already some on the blades?
I’m moving into my own place soon, and I’d like to get a cat. I do have an allergy to cat dander, and I’ve read that cat dander allergies are worse than dog dander allergies because the allergens tend to stick to clothes and fabrics (like curtains and carpets). I understand ionizers work by sucking in air particles and giving the pollutants a negative charge so they "cling" to surfaces and can be cleaned up when the carpet is vacuumed or the drapes are washed. If this is the case, will an air ionizer really help my cat dander allergy at all, since it seems like the allergenic particles wouldn’t necessarily be airborne?
Many of us have noted that a high number of individuals, especially children, have life-threatening allergies to allergens such as peanuts, shellfish, soy, pollen, dust, mould, animal dander, etc., the list goes on.
There is a growing epidemic of food and general allergies, which was not evident a few decades ago.
In the 1950s, how common was it to have a life-threatening allergy in which case one would go into anaphylactic shock from just looking at a peanut?
These days, we have banned peanut product from schools, asthma inhalers are the latest fashion accessories, and something as simple as smelling the flowers on a beautiful spring day sends one into a hacking, sneezing mess completed with watery eyes and gargled gasps for air.
Snuggle up next to your pet cat or dog, and your tongue swells up to the size of Texas, coupled with lovely red nickel-sized hives that is now spreading all over your arms and legs. Fido means death! Or just a very unpleasant and embarrassing visit to the ER, where old ladies gasp and little kids cry at the very sight of your bloated, ruddy self rushing into the waiting room with your hands around your throat, wheezing out unintelligeble pleas between asphyxiated gasps.
Is it a matter of compromised immunity thanks to our fanatical whip-out-the-hand-sanitizer- every-time-you-touch-a-doorknob ideals that is ever-so-present in today’s society? Are genetics at play? What are your thoughts on this phenemonen?
Like something for a dorm room, where the occupant has no control over the furnace. Something that fits either just inside the vent cover or on the outside of it, that filters both dust and allergens, because I want something that will supplement the air purifier so it doesn’t blow through filters so fast, and also because I’m very allergy sensitive.
My friend just moved to an apartment and is concerned about off gassing and indoor air pollution; we are in a friendly debate as to what strategy [or combination approaches] is best to address her concerns. Neither of us are engineers or technical. I know there are plants [and I have that list] that help clean and purify indoor air. Also the natural allergens in our geographical area are generally high.

I have a cat and my boyfriend is allergic to cats. He’s not deathly allergic to them, but spending time at my place for awhile does make him noticably sick. I plan on doing more that just this, but I’ve heard that getting a good quality air purifier is one major way to cut down on the allergens in my house.
My place is a smallish two-bedroom house. I have been keeping the cat out of my bedroom. As far as I know there is nothing else in my house that triggers allergic reactions.
Do I need an air purifier in my bedroom and also one running in the rest of my house? Which one should I buy? (I would prefer to spend less, but if I need to buy an expensive one to do the job right I will.)
to get rid of dust, dander, and any bird feather allergens
I just need to know whick one takes out more dust and allergens out of the air. Thank you.

I need the manuel for this item. Here is kenmore’s description of it
"The Kenmore Electrostatic Air Cleaner quickly and effectively reduces airborne allergens and irritants in larger rooms of your home or home office - using a 3 stage cleaning system. Pre-filter collects large particles, the collecting cell charges and attracts smaller particulates, and lastly, an ionizer revitalizes the clean air.

Where can I find it?
