Air quality is a big issue to me with all the smog I see outside hovering over the city.  I have dealt with asthma for many years as have my children, and air-quailty can literally affect our quality of life. 

This is why I have purchased after much investigation, the Honeywell 50250 Pure HEPA purifier.  I have not had a moment of regret, other than wishing I had found it sooner. 

The HEPA filter is filtering 99.97% of the particles in the air, and I can totally notice the difference.  The first time I opened up the filter to clean it, I was astounded at how much dust it had collected, and I thought "wow, I was breathing all that in".  The filter was simple to clean, just used my vacuum and it cleaned up nicely, ready to do its work again. 

Another feature that I love and have noticed is the ability for it to filter out bacteria and germs.  I have noticed that my kids are not getting sick with colds and flu like their peers have been.  It always seemed they became sick when school started, or always around the holidays, but this past season, they seemed to have skipped it, very happily I might add. 

A nice feature is the warning light that comes on when it is time to clean or change the filter.  The frequency will depend on what you have in your home such as pets, tobacco smoke, etc.  The Honeywell is equipped with a charcoal pre-filter thiwh removes strong odors that do come from tobacco and pets, keeping your air not only fresh, but fresh smelling. 

This is worth checking into, especially if you suffer with allergies or asthma.  It will make your life more comfortable and you a bit healthier.
