That 2 year figure is if you ran the unit 24/7 for 2 years straight which is highly unlikely.
More importantly IMO is being able to source these filters over the ultra long term :S
I have this and I love it. Maybe it's in my mind but the air seems fresher and I sneeze less. I normally turn it on when changing bed sheets, cleaning the house and etc. Got it overseas for around Aud$330 though.
That means you would need to move it around to where you were right? A bit of a pain or what?
It could easily be a placebo; sugar pills have performed miracles in scientific studies to no end.
My question is, what happens when you leave your house? Are you then overly sensitive to particulates and irritants? Wouldn't this aggrevate things like allergies because you're essentially switching between two vastly differing air qualities so suddenly?
I leave it on in my living room and only carry it upstairs when needed. Quite light weight so no worries. You can always buy the smaller version for each room but I'm happy moving mine when needed. It actually sucks the dust hence my place is less dusty. You can clearly see its working from the dust that is stuck on the filter.

I hope you realise the digestive tract and the respiratory system are two vastly different beasts.
I wasn't trying to put down your product choice which you're seemingly enamoured with, but I was merely trying to state, aside from placebos, what basis you have for saying it's carte blance better with an air filter in the house? Have you had your VO2 max measured and found yourself suddenly boasting a better lung capacity or something?
I'm actually interested in these as well, but it's a lot to spend and I need something more to go on than just, "Oh yeah, it's better."
You probably wouldn't buy a new toaster on a recommendation like that.

You mean the dust that builds up on virtually any large appliance in the average home, without sufficient cleaning or ventilation?
@Amar89: lung capacity is fixed. It's a volume constrained by your thorax. Your VO2max is most influenced by your maximal cardiac output, and also muscular adaptations to training. Lungs are only limiting is respiratory disease and some elite athletes.
I dont know if i need an air purifier but the Quote" Plasmacluster Ion Technology "id love one of those " cue weird syfy noise ".
We have a rented unit and a real problem with dust in it. We only have one large set of sliding doors onto a balcony so the areas deeper inside the unit get very dusty.
Problem 1: We have a dryers that has a filter on front that is supposed to catch dust as it pushes out heat but it's pretty loose and doesn't do a great job of it. Dryer is also in a small cupboard with no ventilation so dust accumulates fast. Dryer came with the unit so I can't change it.
Problem 2: Washing machine has one of those internal dust filters but nothing to actually take it away (In the same space as the dryer) so you end up with lots of wet dust clumps after washing clothes. I have to go through each item with one of those sticky rollers to remove it.
2 adults and a small dog in a 1 bedroom apartment are also reasons why it is dusty. There is also carpets but since its rented I cannot remove them.
I've bought a Dyson hand-stick digital slim which we use regularly but I suspect that if we had bought a full Dyson we would of got better results as its not very strong.
My question is, If I shell out some serious cash for an air filter like this one. Can I expect it to really remove a large amount of dust? It would be good to have less dust for breathing but I'm also talking about reducing the accumulation so we don't get thick layers of dust in hard to reach places. Anyone had a similar experience in units? I've never had this issue before but in the past I was in houses with plenty of windows/air flow.
Thanks for being constructive.
You could share your 'if you know where to look' link so people could compare instead of just negging the post
They had this in a medium size office, I worked for in Japan. The amount of stuff it collects in the filters when I cleaned it out is quite remarkable. Placebo or not, whatever it does, it does it well.
If I was in the market for one, I'd trust this.
I use the Ionmax ION401 Tower Ionic Air Purifier for around $240. Only need to clean the blade from time to time. Last around 2 years.
How much dust can this machine removes in 24 hours on high mode?
I bought one of this purifier from Kogan for $349 a few years ago and the filter only last 6 months.
Note the filter is $176!
