Default Home air purifiers

Any of you used or use these, been looking at them as I suffer from headaches at home, thus might give one a go.

Expensive mind but been looking at blueair and IQair units.

Why do you think an air purifier will alleviate your condition?

Is it the house, pets, family or even location that are causing the issue?

well as a migraine sufferer ive tried almost everything in the medical world, ive just had 36 botox injections in my head, my head looks great LOL

I don't expect it to cure me, but when you try to eliminate things I look at all avenues. I work at home so spend 80% of my time in the house. Ive only had dogs for 4 years so it aint them. However on my recent holiday to spain, I was in a fresh new place and sat outside all day and I had 1 headache.

If you look into it youd be amazed at how much ****e we breath in on a night. As well as even odours farts, wet dog. perfumes etc all can be triggers for me. with what ive just bought all that goes as the machine will filter 99.97 of it out, and the little airsence kills all know viral bugs.


even if your not with me after looking at this, id deffo have one if id got little kids and babys, even if its just the AirFree unit



Check this out amazing



Andy it could even be as simple as sea level of my house, but I,ll attack that later.

My dad had a friend who I remember well as we fitted a boiler for her when I was in-between school and starting work. She lived in a Nice place in leeds called Menston and all she ate was fish, I remember it well cos her house stuck of smelly fannys LOL ( I was young that's all I thought about then ) anyway on her fridge she had the diet Fish for everything and soya milk, any deviation made her ill.

Guess what, she moved to Scarborough and never had any ailments again.... How werid is that.....

I have one of these in our loft.

The loft is converted but I've always been a bit concerned that there might be insulation dust up there so I keep this one when I'm up there with the windows open.

Can you believe it, I lived in Menston as a young lad for 10 years.

Chronic conditions can be a real drag on life. I had a similar issue with asthma throughout my life, my mother smoking as a kid and as an adult, I couldn't shake it off.

What changed by accident was I renovated a property and fitted solid wood flooring throughout the house upstairs and down stairs. Almost immediately my asthma improved and cleared up. That was seven years ago. I still get asthma once a year for about a week, which peaks with high pollen around May. So all my life I have been pollen, house dust sensitive and not realised that the carpets beneath me were causing the issue. I have had pets all my life.

Look at your house environment, this could be the problem.

Harry Ramsden, memories! I used to go up to the amusement arcade just down the side, spend all my cash on pacman and alike, saving enough to have fish and chips at Harry's, then skateboarding home through Hyroids hospital on the glass like tarmac

Try getting a couple of these instead:

Very easy to maintain, and famed for filtering out all sorts of undesirable chemicals from the air in a house, as well as keeping humidity at bay.
