How helpful is an indoor air filter for allergies?

May 10, 2007 by Lighthearted | Posted in Allergies

Orek has one for $700 that is supposed to filter air in your whole house. My 2500 sq ft house it tight in that stays warm without much heat in cold winter, so I am thinking this air filter might help bad allergies. We also have a dog. What do you think?

3M makes filters that you put into your A/C unit. They cost about $10 and are sold at home depot, ace hardware and lowe's. You are better off filterting the air that runs through the a/c than trying to filter it room by room. Change the a/c filters on

My Review: The Austin Air Allergy Machine

After several months of deliberation, I decided to purchase an Austin Air Allergy Machine for use in my two bedroom apartment.

I have mild allergies, and also have 3 cats, so the notion of using an air purifier is something that has been on my mind for quite some time.

I often would wake up in the middle of the night with a stuff nose and sneezing, and all that other good stuff that goes along with that.

While researching air purifiers that would be effective in a 2 bedroom apartment I continually ran across Austin Air, and I like the look of their machines. I narrowed my search down to the Austin Air Allergy Machine and the Austin Air Pet Machine.

They both looked similar, so I emailed Austin Air to ask which might be better for my situation. I received a response from a customer service rep quite quickly, and she let me know that the allergy machine would probably be more effective for my situation.

After deciding that I was going to get the Allergy Machine, I ended up ordering the item from a merchant through Amazon.com.

I received it in about 3 days, it showed up really quickly. The box was big and the unit was in perfect condition.

I unpacked the machine and let the cats play in the huge box.

After unpacking, I read the instructions and found that this was a rather simple machine to put into use. I basically just had to plug it in and let it rip, right out of the box. That was pretty easy.

This air purifier won’t need to have the filter replaced for quite some time, so I won’t have to worry about taking it apart for any reason any time soon.

The Austin Air Allergy Machine is a pretty straightforward air purifier.

It has a dial on the front of the unit to activate 3 different air circulation speeds: low, medium and high. And that’s it.

There are no other options, no electronics. It’s just a basic machine with state of the art filtration capabilities.
