Blueair 200PF Replacement Particle Filter Review

Yes, to my mind, definately. About the price. I've been buying this particular filter, once every 6 months and it never cost 79.95$. It always cost 50$ more or less. It works and you can actually sense that the air that you are breathing is clean healthy. Buy the machine and the filters and live a longer more healthy life.

Designed for use with the Blueair 200 Series air purifier, this replacement filter helps remove contaminants from the air. Its HEPASilent technology uses electrostatic and mechanical filtration to quickly and quietly capture 99.97-percent of particles down to 0.1 micron in size, including allergens such as pollen grains, dust mites, mold spores, and pet-dander particles. Just open the back side of the air purifier (not included), remove the used filter, and insert the replacement filter. Made of nontoxic polypropylene, the 100-percent-recyclable filter media produces only carbon dioxide and water as it decomposes, plus it's waterproof, which makes it naturally resistant to bacteria, viruses, and mold, without chemical additives or washes. For optimal performance, Blueair recommends replacing ?lters every six months. The replacement particle filter measures approximately 2-1/5 by 15 by 18 inches.

Germ Guardian GG-1000 UV-C Air Sanitizer Review

Ok, I have owned this little guy for a little over a week now and cant comment on its longevity, but... it certainly seems to work well. I am a pack a day smoker and like clockwork I catch any cold my significant other gets within a day or two. She came down with something last week when I bought this plug in unit and she is now finally starting to get over her cold or whatever. I have yet to get sick! I am sure there could be other reasons for this but let me assure you that a robust immune system is not one of them! :)
Some people complain about these units.. saying there is low airflow through them. I'll let you in on a little secret.. it takes some time in contact with light to kill germs in the air. If the air moved too fast the germs would not have enough contact time with the light to die. Put the unit in an area where the air moves around it. Perhaps near a door or in a room with a ceiling fan that normally runs. If you put it in the corner of a room with dead air.. its going to purify the heck out of that corner.. :)
I placed the unit on a kill-a-watt meter tonight and it registered a constant draw of 9 watts. Thats pretty great as far as air purifiers are concerned. I have electronics that draw more than that when they are off. Costco has them 2 for $67 and Lowes has them for $39 ea (then you find one of the MANY coupons for Lowes like $10 off a $25 purchase.. exc).
The technology behind the units is a little questionable and I was not able to find links to the documented evidence of their effectiveness. They claim Harvard did test this product.. hope thats true but I would like to see the source of that claim posted somewhere. UV-C bulbs have been around for a long time, but for some reason they are just now showing up in this kind of a product with no real description as to why that is.
The bulbs only last one year and I cant find replacements locally (yet) so minus one star for that.. otherwise.. good job. Hope its for real.I went back to Lowes today to get another one and they were sold out.
UPDATE: Year and a half later, first bulb replacement (should have been done at the one year mark.. I guess). I took the opportunity to use a duster can and blow out all the dust that had built up in the units over 18 months of continuous use. Wiped down the outsides with Windex. Back in business.

Germ Guardian UV-C PLUG-IN Air Sanitizer is the first product to effectively utilize UV-C technology to kill targeted airborne germs in the home or office. A whisper-quiet, yet powerful fan pulls flu-viruses into the germ-killing chamber. The germ-laden air is bombarded with ultraviolet-C light and 99.9% of viruses, bateria and mold spores are destroyed. Once complete the sanitizer will then circulate clean air back into the room. This unit is great for stopping the spread of airborne germs and kills odors. Great for small spaces, like bathrooms and bedrooms.
