How to Get Allergy Relief Using Air Purifiers 

This is basically only available used at this time. You probably aren't going to find an Alpine Air Purifier new in the stores, but you can sometimes get them on Amazon and probably on E-bay. The real question is whether you'd want to - if the price is right, maybe. But it is risky to be buying a product with previous complaints about it - many people get an air purifier because they have serious medical issues, and if you do, you're going to want to get one that you know will work. Also, it's unclear whether you'll still be able to get air purifier filters for Alpine Air Purifier products - I haven't seen them available personally, and many of the newer brands don't even use the same filtering technology, even if you could find a generic filter that works with it. My recommendation: just get a new one.
   

 

  

 

So how do you use an air purifier to minimize your allergies? It's a matter of planning. First, you need to know how severe your allergies are. If it only takes a little bit to set you off with a severe reaction, then you are going to need to get either a more expensive air purifier or multiple ones. If you've got mild to moderate allergies, then it's not that big a deal - even a low-end allergy relief air purifier can make a huge difference in how you're living. You should think about how much time you spend in certain parts of the house. Do you tend to spend all of your time in the bedroom, in front of the TV, or in an office? This will be important to know because many air purifiers don't cover much more than a single room. You need coverage anywhere you're going to spend a lot of time. There are a couple of options here: 1) get one air purifier, and stick it near the source of the pollutants. This is convenient if one thing is causing your allergies - a pet who sleeps in a certain part of the house, or a smoker who won't go outdoors, or mold. 2) get multiple, cheaper air purifiers. This works in many cases because you can find low end, $30 air purifiers that will get rid of the bulk of pollutants effectively - they just don't get the smaller particles. 3) get one air purifier and put it where you spend most of your time. That is effective if you stick to one or two rooms. 4) get a big, expensive air purifier that will cover the entire house.

Another thing that matters is the size of the place where you live. If you're in an apartment, you don't have much to worry about on this front - most air purifiers can cover a small apartment effectively. You will have to think about noise as well, however - nearly every air purifier is loud on the highest setting. It's a sad fact of life - you'll have to deal with more noise. There are some good options here as well if you do a little planning - some brands use remote timers to turn it on and off at certain times. This way, you can run it on high when you're at work, clean out the air, and turn it back to low to avoid the noise when you get home.
