Re: good air purifier/vaccumm

[Guest guest]

If you get a good vacuum, get a HEPA vac. I have a Eureka Boss that

has a hepa filter but it is loud as most vacs are. I'd look at others

to compare. The hose on my vac isn't flexible and drives me crazy but

has extensions to make the hose longer. The foot press to release the

handle is hard from my 100lb self to release but I get it done. Seems

it was $150.

I have two Hunter's air purifiers I purchased from Lowes. They have a

prefilter that is carbon and a true hepa filter. They also have

monitors for the prefilter change and hepa change which is good for us

brain damaged people with fog. I decided to get another type for my

bedroom and is Allerair and the hepa suppose to last up to 5 years and

carbon 3 years I think and prefilter every 3-4 months. It is OK but NO

monitor so I don't recommend it and also I keep on 1 from 1-3 levels

b/c on 2 it sounds like a wind storm. Not sure if being on carpet

contributes to that and I have animals so even when I'm gone, I do not

want to scare them with the louder noise. Allerair also isn't plastic

so no VOC's and had good write ups on it and seems I read the military

use this one. I do like the fact the hepa can last up to 5 years and

they may make one with monitors now as I suggested that to them and

sure others have too. I wrote down dates and just hope I can keep up

with them.

Hunter I keep on 2 from the 1-3 levels and it's not very loud. Hunter

has come out with newer versions and I believe they have one that you

wash the filters. I think my Hunter's were $170-200 a year ago. Hepa

filter last 8000 hrs and prefilter 2000hrs and of course in beginnig

may need changing before that if cleaning real nasty air. I think it's

www.allergybuyersclub.com where you can see comparison of air purifiers

I am on FMLA (Family Medical Leave) and am not being paid when I don't

work, so i'm on a very tight budget. If anyone has recommendations,

please advise.

Missy,

My wife also went out on FMLA, not realizing after 12 weeks if you

don't return they fire you, and they did, under doctors care. FMLA

would be good for many situations, but a chronic illness, especially

coming back into a toxic work environment, not good. I would suggest

that you try to change that to short-term disability, this way you

can get paid for the time you are out. What they did close to the

end of her 12 weeks in black and white (dumb) is told her she had to

come back with no restrictions or be terminated. There was no

possible way she could go back, because of the severe reactions she

had there.

Hope this helps,

KC
