recommendation for air purifier

[gregbesia]

Does anyone use air filter /purifier in the winter to try to reduce dust in the house? We have a wood insert in our living room and while we love the wood heat and the savings in oil, I was wondering if there is any thing that may help with dust control. As always thanks for any help.

I just posted this up, semi-related. Has made a huge difference in our dust issue.

Thanks a lot. I was worried that I won't get any responses.

We have a lot of dust/hair/crap in the air too. I don't think much is from the stove. We've got dogs, and the amount of hair is ridiculous.
This is the one we got. (broken link removed to http://www.homedepot.com/buy/honeywell-quietclean-air-purifier-hfd-123-hd.html#.UOxUaneE5zc)
The day after turning it on, the congestion in the back of my throat was almost gone. It's actually too small for the space, but does quite a good job. We plan to get another soon.
I also notice that if I forget to clean the pre-filter every couple-3 days, the congestion is more noticable.

I bought a $$ Orick one a few years back (was around $350) and ended up returning it after the couple month trial period was done. I honestly didn't notice any difference with it running or not other than my power bill went up a bit.

The best thing I have found for dust in the winter is wiping everything down with a microfiber rag and some pledge every few weeks.

This is what we use, with 2 dogs you would not believe what it sucks out of the air. We have to vacuum the foam charcoal filter every week.

Did some research and in the price range we are at(under $200) we just picked up a Sharp Plasmacluster last night. I learned a bit while researching...like didn't know there was a difference between a hepa filter and a hepa type filter....the CADR ratings don't tell the whole story, etc. Should know in a few days if what we got was the right choice.
