Air Purifiers

Can the units really remove bacteria, viruses, mold and yeast? Units for the home range in price from 0 - 0.00.

I live on the coast in a valley and my house has a lot of mold I suspect between the walls. He gets asthma issues nightly, and I have been having sinusitis and pressure behind my eyes, muscle aches etc. We are otherwise healthy, young and vibrant but since living here for 8 months, we have really been getting sick. Do you think that a Honeywell air purifier would help to eliminate the mold? What can we do? To live here is expensive so we cant just move and our jobs are here. What can we do to "tough it out" one more year until we move?

i have allergies to dust and mold and bought an air purifier. i’m not sure if i am supposed to close my windows and doors when i use it. i am also not sure if i should always leave the house fan on to circulate air (or how often to use it). does anybody know how to circulate air and use an air purifier? (another question is how long to run the ionizer on the purifier or if i leave it on will the ozone be bad for me).

I live in Australia and I need to buy a air purifier for a room which smells really bad. I want to turn the room into an office. It smells so bad I can’t think.
The windows need repairing and the plaster wall probably has dampness in it. Smells like mold. The room has been newly painted.
Fixing it is not an option for now as I’m renting, and getting them to it fix may take a really long time. If ever…
Leaving the windows open is not enough. I want to remove the smell of mold, new paint, vinegar and bleach.
Would an good air purifier remove the smells?
Which one should I buy?

Here are a few I’ve seen advertised on the internet.
IQ air GC MultiGas
IQ air HealthPro 150
InnovaAir E20 Air Purifier 90
Air Purifier Zalmandn NBA350 5.00

Are the more expensive air purifiers better than the cheaper ones?
Do they work at removing odors?

I suffer major allergies from dust, pollen, mold and pets. I want an all-around purifier that helps with these and gas and chemicals.

I have done EXTENSIVE research and YES I know IQ Air is best but it’s rather large and expensive. Blue Air and Austin Air are highly rated as well, but they’re rather large for my bedroom. I have been looking into the Sharp Plasmacuster (not the model with the annoying upkeep of the humidifier) and Rabbit Air as well, which are more stylish and a tad cheaper. Anyone with experience with any of these or suggestions?

I have a problem with pet odors and mold in my home. We have tried many different things but they do not work well. I have been looking into air purifiers and wondered if they would be effective in making the home smell good and eliminate odors and mold that cleaning cant seem to get rid of.

He’s very itchy & he often gets short tempered from it. He’s allergic to dust mites,pollen,mold,rice,corn, soy, & egg. I bought a Hepa filter vacuum,encased his bedding to keep dust mites away, run air purifiers,change the furnace filter frequently,use fragrance free detergents,run clothes through a second rinse cycle,use no dryer sheets,keep baths tepid & brief, lotion with Eucerin immediately afterward, & have him wear only cotton clothes. I can honestly say NONE of this has made a difference. He starts Kindergarten in the Fall & I worry about him. How can he concentrate if he’s itchy? Keeping my child drugged on Benadryl indefinitely isn’t an option to me. I currently started him on probitotics with his allergists approval & give him 2 tsp. ground Flaxseed in his cereal every morning. I’m now trying Emu oil on him. I spend all my free time searching for answers. Has anyone found relief from dry eczema? Perhaps a Homeopathic Dr. is my next step. Thank you in advance for any help!

I need an air cleaner in eliminating pet particles, mold, dust mites, smoke, gases, etc.; preferably one that has a filter that can be just wiped off and put back in or filters that are not real expensive. I have heard that Carrier Air Purifers are the best but just not sure. Looking to clean/purify approx. 800 sq. ft. And does an air cleaner eliminate radon or others gases that possibly could be in a basement?

I have an air purifier that I usually run because I live in a basement apartment and when we moved in, we had mold and stale air problems because the windows are very small and don’t provide much fresh air. My roommate says that the purifier makes the air dry and gives her nosebleeds but my mom says that it shouldn’t make the air dry at all. Which is it?
We have a de-humidifier as well but she doesn’t like to run that either because she says it also makes the air too dry and, again, gives her nosebleeds.
