I have been using the Airfree Air Sterilizer for the past 4 years. I bought 2 units and each unit is supposed to clean 550 sq ft each. I used both units in my 300 sq ft master bedroom which means an overkill of multiple times over. I had a very slight mold problem before I bought the Airfree Air Sterilizer direct from the Distributor. My entire bedroom ceiling is now covered with mold and I will need to repaint the whole bedroom ceiling. I live on the top floor and it bright and breezy in all my rooms. I close the windows all the time as the Airfree Air Sterilizers are supposed to work best in confined spaces.

I wonder if there are any other suckers out there who have been self-conned (I was conned by all the test reports) into purchasing this useless piece of crap. As I am using my real name here, I welcome the Distributor to contact me and visit my house to prove me wrong since you will be able to trace my records. I am not a novice when it comes to air filters and sterilizers as I owned many sets from many brands since 1994.

As #11 pointed out, one of the most well-known brands for air purifiers/filters is Honeywell and yes, they make industrial grade air purifiers for hospitals. I only got to know Blueair when I moved to Beijing, I think they're about the same grade ba. But I bought my Honeywell in BJ for about SGD400+, cos Honeywell was recommended by my doc. It worked pretty well as I have sinus issues and am sensitive to pollution.

The only catch is that the carbon filter needs to be replaced pretty frequently as BJ was very polluted. The HEPA filter only requires changing once the light turns on, I think in about a year or so. Replacement cost was not too ex, if I don't remember wrongly. The unit was quite quiet once I switched to the sleep mode, otherwise the humming can be a bit loud. Once I moved back here, I don't use it anymore as the air quality is so much better. It works best in enclosed spaces.

Before you buy the air purifier, check how often you gotta change the filter (not every brand uses carbon, some of the Honeywell models feature a washable one which drives down running costs significantly), and the HEPA filter, and how much the replacement costs. You also want to figure out if you truly need one. :sport-smiley-018:

You definitely do not need a humidifier here - Singapore is already very humid ! I owned a few in BJ cos it was the reverse - it was too dry !

A pure diffuser is probably something that you use to release a nice scent into the air, essential oils etc. Typically has no health benefits. I think usually ppl combine a diffuser with an air purifier, which is kinda an oxymoron to me - u are pumping something into the air and yet, trying to clear the air ? :unsure:
