Air Purifiers

[thyreoidea]

This may be off topic bit I have Hypothyroidism and also have a rare blood disorder that can react to viruses and want to try and get back to a more normal existence after having the latest flu and COVID boosters. Does anyone have any experience of using an air purifier in the house to help prevent contracting viruses from other people visiting. I realise that if someone has a virus and is shedding a large amount of molecules it is a big ask of a device but I am more interested in non symptomatic people who feel OK. I realise they too can be contagious.

Please direct message me with any advice.

hi there. I bought an air purifier to prepare me for grandchildren visits especially over Xmas and although I can’t say I’m fighting fit I do notice a massive difference in the air quality in the house I now have them in three rooms and I’m so pleased with them. My head feels so much clearer daily.

I bought the dyson air purifiers as they had them on offer plus you had the option to make 3 payments ,have a look on dyson website.. I know they’re expensive but I’ve had a few other types and they couldn’t compare, for me dyson have been great..best of luck and I’m looking forward to a bug/virus free Xmas / new year for once lol.

I have air purifiers. I am asthmatic. I am not that concerned about viruses. But in the summer, we often have a lot of forest fire smoke in the air. The air purifier is extremely helpful when the air quality is bad.

Thank you for your reply, what brand is it please?

[Hockey_player in reply to thyreoidea]

It is a Honeywell. I can't find the model number on it. I bought it several years ago.

I researched air filters at consumerreports.org/applian... & bacteria . This is one of the recommended machines.

amazon.com/BLUEAIR-Purifier.... There are a few BLUE-AIR models listed as recommended.

I don't personally have that brand. I have an Alexa Breeze but its not specifically for viruses. There many good machines on the market at varied price levels. I think its worth the expense. It makes a positive difference in our homes air quality.
