They are generally cheap enough now that it's probably not worth the effort. I think my last 2 cost 35 a piece, and came with extra filters and such.

I used to think they were kinda useless until I had tile ripped up. The neverending dust was driving my wife insane. On a whim, bought a couple purifiers and it's cut the dust down by at least 90%.

Any chance you could provide a link to an example product? Air purifiers seem pretty expensive, but I expect that might be due to my location

I bought these for 34.99 last month, but it appears to be gone now.

If you're looking for more features and a more known brand, Costco has these for 99, which is a pretty good deal considering their size and that they come with all extra filters.

Rule of thumb: cut the quoted theoretical capacity in half. This one's theoretical capacity is 360 square feet, so you'd need eight of them in a 1500 square foot apartment.

Never heard of it. Perhaps for its Hepa, 99.9% jargon sure.

But we ran a single Bissel Air400 in a 2k sq ft area and it visibly reduced the dust you see on glass cabinets and such. We used to have to clean them about every 3 days. With that running, it was about every 2 to 3 weeks!

Perfect, thank you very much.
