I recently found out that ALL THREE air purifiers I use at home were phased out – and the filters along with them! The guy at the store I get my filters from suggested I upgrade to their latest models. I’m darned if I’m going to give the same manufacturer my money again! Instead, I began searching around for some filterless air purifiers – at another store.

I’m tired of having to periodically change filters anyway, not to mention having to deal with yearly filter price increases. But it’s really annoying that I have to junk THREE perfectly good air cleaners just because the manufacturer was inconsiderate about providing enough filters for all the suckers that patronized their product! There ought to be a law against stuff like this!

Anyway, to make sure I don’t get suckered again, I’m buying three air purifiers without filters to change.

Filterless air purifiers, so I’ve recently discovered, ionizes the air in a room. This charges the dust particles and other dirt in the air so that they’re trapped in a plate collection mechanism.

Some filterless air purifiers make use of a fan to enhance the system, although it will work without a fan as well. I’m thinking about maybe trying out a unit without a fan because I hear those make less noise.

Another thing I’ve recently found out is that any device you use for filtering air can never be truly maintenance-free, no matter what manufacturers say. Take filterless air purifiers – yes, you don’t have to replace a filter but you will eventually have to clean the plate mechanism.

So it’s a good idea to invest in a unit where you can get at the plates easily to clean them. Otherwise, you may have to shell out the same additional dollars you were trying to save by buying a filterless system in the first place!
