I have allergy problems - should I get an air purifier?
If you've got issues with pet dander, mold, or pollen, you should consider getting an allergy air purifier. You can often drastically reduce your irritation without taking any pills whatsoever - you'll be amazed at how much junk gets concentrated in your house. The only thing necessary to convince most people that they need an air purifier is to see what it looks like in the filter after a couple of weeks of working - all the dirt that piles up in there is all the stuff you've been breathing in without it. If you get rid of what you're allergic to, then you'll get rid of your allergies - an air purifier is a good way to do this. Even if you have a pet and someone in the family is allergic to it, you can still cut down on the amount of pet fur and dust that actually ends up floating around in the air.

on how bad your allergies are - if you've got only a mild problem, then you
don't need that efficient an air purifier. The
