WOW... SLOW doesn't even begin to describe this. It took 18 minutes to find out that I DNQ. Oh well, Thanks anyway!

If you do a Google search for IONIZING AIR CLEANER ASTHMA, lots of links come up. I have listed a few below. Studies done several years ago found that many Ionizing air cleaners may produce unhealthy amounts of ozone that can actually create further problems for people with asthma or allergies. They also found that those type of air cleaners are less effective than those with true hepa filters (which is unfortunate because they usually cost more!). It is unfortunate that your doctor didn't specify... it sounds like the OP on this thread WAS told not to get an Ionizing air cleaner. If you decide that the Ionizing one that you have isn't for you, you could probably sell it on eBay for close to what you paid for it. Lots of info and reviews here: http://www.consumersearch.com/www/house_and_home/air-purifiers/review.html http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2005-04-04-air-filters_x.htm http://www.webmd.com/asthma/news/20050404/ionizing-air-cleaners-may-pose-health-hazard The links on the left side of this page give additional info..... http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/appliances/ionizing-air-cleaners-505/overview/index.htm

I have a Honeywell and it does a great job, but when I went to buy a second air cleaner I did a lot of research and ended up with the Whirlpool AP45030R ( it is recommended by Consumer Reports as one of their 'Quick Pick's.) The Whirlpool is AWESOME... it moves tons of air QUIETLY and does a great job. I can't watch TV with the Honeywell next to me on high, but I have no problems with the Whirlpool. Also, I have found that filters for both (prefilters and HEPA filters) are cheaper on eBay than anywhere else. Just be sure to buy from reputable sellers! There are a lot of small reputable businesses that use eBay as their storefront. Oh yeah... one more thing. The Ionizing air cleaners are NOT GOOD for asthmatics! Here is a link to one article, but if you do a Google search, you'll find a lot more. http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2005-04-04-air-filters_x.htm

If you've never tried Market Day's vegetables, they are really THE BEST!! Their broccoli is far better than any premium broccoli I can buy in the grocery store... it is all florets and is VERY fresh tasting. I also like the peas and the California mix. The asparagus is a little pricey, but it is delicious, also.
