Recommendation for air cleaner - pet hair and dust

Looking for recommendations on air cleaner units for cutting down on our pet hair and dust. We have lots of both in Anchorage, especially in the dusty springtime. Ideally the machine would be quiet.
We don't have forced-air heat so this would be a standalone unit.
Thanks! |

| try using some green certified cleaning product that improve indoor air quality that is nontoxic and protects the surface.. i just recently heard of this clean-by-color system , they have seperate solutions for diff. places around the house, it's something called GotGreenKits.
this is a natural green cleaning system that actually works a lot better than most products; It was first used by professional cleaning service to clean doctor's office and real estate buildings. It's got very high ranking b/c the system is intended to IMPROVE AIR QUALITY for the kids and family members. I believe u can only get their products online. |

| As I understand it, air cleaners pick up tiny particles, not dust and pet hair - those get picked up with the vacuum cleaner. |

| I have some of the Kenmore and Whirlpool larger hepa filters - see the link below. Wow.. they elimate dust and while the filters are expesive you can give them a gentle bath a few times. Very Quiet, and also Very Large - these arent made for hiding in the corner. But... they seem to be discontinued.
But... you might find that site is well known in the allergy world and investigate the suggested replacement. |

| Air cleaners will grab dust, hair pollens,etc. if it is in the air. What it will not do is pick it off the surface. Vacuum cleaners are for that purpose. I have used an air cleaner for years. I purchased one after I got tired of sneezing and stopped up sinus problems. I sleep much better now. Mine have been noisier, but that is a good thing for me. The white noise drowns out the outside noise. Alot of the bigger particles will be trapped by the pre-filter. I have even found lint from my flannel sheets on the filter. |

| Thanks for the thoughts. Of course, vacuuming has its job; the idea is to trap a much from the air as possible to reduce the airborne and cut down on what settles onto the surfaces. At the moment we're having wicked north winds coating the city with glacial silt. |

| I'm with ya! I live in an area where we have to dust 2x a week. If I could even do something about the dust particles floating around in the air it would help tremendously! I also want a humidifier because the air here is very dry too. Also we have a lot of static electricity in the air where my kids and I and our dogs are always shocking eachother. I sure would like to fix these things...... |

| I had 4 if the biggest Honeywell Air Cleaners and was tired of paying for the pre filters and the Hepa drums. For the last 3 years I have been using 3 of these from Sears. #85264. You will find them online on the Sears site. These are great as there is nothing to buy after you buy one. You wash the pre filter and throw the electronic cell in the dishwasher. They provide plastic screens for both sides of the unit to protect the wire and electrostaic collection plates. |
