They're wonderful for allergy sufferers. My best suggestion is to get one with a metal plate in place of a filter. Instead of pulling out a dusty mess, you rinse it underwater. That way you're not transferring the dust, pollens and mites around…you're just washing them away. Or get one of the new ones that kill mold and germs with heat and need no filters.
I got mine at Hammacher Schlemmer a few years ago. They carry the best air care products.

room air purifiers work o.k., but if you want the best results, have one installed on your hvac system. these units are more efficient and will take care of the entire house.
Air purifiers are a wonderful invention. They can be moved and cleaned relatively easily. I can't reccomend a specific brand, although we use a Hunter brand. Ask the store clerk to plug one in before you buy it to assure quiet operation. You can get a central purifier installed in your system, but this is very expensive. We have used the portable for a couple of years with good results.
