Picked up 5 air purifiers today on a "slick deal." Amazon selling them for $44.99 each, and I got them for $18.95 each directly from Holmes. Good ratings (4.9/5.0 on Holmes; 4.5/5.0 on Amazon), and seem to work well for their intended purpose--but their intended purpose is to clean a small area, 70 sq. ft. Really a little desktop unit, although it says small rooms.
I have 4 small bedrooms and a larger bedroom that I intended to put one of these in. But the small ones are maybe 150-160 sq. ft, considerably larger than the air purifier is rated to clean.
Nobody in my house smokes, we have one cat that is an indoor-outdoor cat, doesn't smell, etc. We have a whole house UV light thing-a-majig in the duct system. So there's not a huge need for this; just thought it would be a good idea to add one other small thing. (The "need" is that several of us are allergic to pollen, and a lot of other things that are pretty bad here at times; we do have old carpet that needs to be replaced, and several other things where dust and other allergens exist).
Regardless of the answers here, I think I'm just going to try each one of them in each of the bedrooms and see what happens. But I am interested if you have any thoughts, or similar experiences.
My choices are:
a) One per room, let it do whatever it can. A little help is better than no help.
b) Kinda rotate the things around. Maybe buy one more larger one for the bigger master bedroom, and throw 2 of them in one room and rotate it around from time to time, so that every few days each bedroom will have two air purifiers working in it.
Thoughts?
