Amazon cuts 57% off the GermGuardian air purifier to help you breathe easier - Digital Trends Posted: 26 Jul 2019 09:15 AM PDT We are halfway through the allergy season already, but those harmful germs are lurking in the air. Each time someone blows their nose, coughs, or sneezes, those viruses become airborne and you risk breathing whatever sickness they carry. This is where air purifiers will come to the rescue. If you need one right now, Amazon currently has an awesome 57% off deal with the GermGuardian AC4825 22-inch 3-in-1 full room air purifier. You can get it for only $64 from its original price of $150. Even the air we inhale inside our homes can cause allergies to flare up, among other health issues. The air purifiers can simply filter these allergens, dust, and other viruses to give you a fresher and cleaner air to breathe. The GermGuardian AC4825 is also great for smokers as the charcoal filter reduces common odors from cigarette smoke. The GermGuardian 3-in-1 Full Room Air Purifier boasts its true HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filtration capability. This filter captures 99.97% of the tiniest contaminant particles (as small as 0.3 microns), including mold spores, pet dander, and household dust. Though the filter is excellent for dealing with allergens and dust, its UV-C sanitizer is responsible for defending you against airborne attacks. The UV-C light technology operates with Titanium Dioxide to trap and kill viruses, germs, and bacteria that roam around your house. The GermGuardian is intended for medium-sized rooms, so it's nice for living rooms, bedrooms, or any shared space where a lot of breathing is going on. The GermGuardian 3-in-1 air purifier cleans the air four times per hour in places up to 167 square feet. It is also Energy Star-certified and verified by the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM). It claims a high CADR (clean air delivery rate) of over 100 for pollen, dust, and smoke, which guarantees fast and efficient purification of indoor air. Normally, other modern purifiers come with five fan speeds, but the GermGuardian AC4825 only uses three speeds. As a result, its noise level is quieter under the low setting and it can work in the background without bothering your sleep. Though, it might not fare too well in reserve areas like the prayer room because you will definitely hear it when running at the highest speed. Now you can have healthier air indoors with the GermGuardian AC4825 22-inch 3-in-1 full room air purifier. Usually listed at $150, Amazon reduced its price by $86 off selling you today for only $64.

Could your air conditioning unit be making you sick? - WRAL.com Posted: 31 Jul 2019 01:56 PM PDT By Monica Laliberte, WRAL executive producer/consumer reporter There's nothing better than the feeling of air conditioning during the summer heat, but your air conditioning unit might be spreading more than just cool air. If you notice black spots on your units, that means that mold and dust might also be in the air. "Without proper care and maintenance, mold can actually grow on the inside, which has the potential to lead to health problems like wheezing, congestion and throat irritation," Consumer Reports Home Editor Paul Hope said. For large rooms, Consumer Reports recommends a $340 SPT window unit, and a $270 Kenmore unit for mid-size rooms. To eliminate condensation or rainwater buildup inside the unit that can cause mold, make sure to always tilt window units slightly to the outside during installation. In order to keep your unit running efficiently and keep the air clean, Hope said it's best to clean the filter once a month and at the start of each season. Consumer Reports recommends cleaning your central air conditioning return vents and filters monthly, keeping plants and debris away and scheduling a professional check-up once a year. More On This

Here's how to choose the right Air Purifier: All you need to know - Times of India Posted: 29 Jul 2019 05:47 AM PDT Air Purifiers have become absolutely necessary for indoor spaces with increased pollutants and allergens present in the air. Living near natural surroundings is becoming difficult in metropolitan cities and with increased levels of pollution, fresh air has become non-existent. In this scenario, air purifiers prove to be a respite from breathing in toxic air. Here's a buying guide to choose the best air purifier for yourself- Why do you need an air purifier? Air indoors is more harmful than air outside. Also,household products such as deodorants, cleaning agents, inkjet printers contribute to indoor air pollution as well. An air purifier is advised for people with dust allergies, asthma or any other respiratory disease as well as kids. Air purifiers control air quality by getting rid of allergens,pollen, dust, pet hair and other pollutants invisible to the naked eye. Some air purifiers also absorb any kind of unpleasant odor from paints and varnishings. How does an Air purifier function? Air purifiers use mechanical, ionic,electrostatic or hybrid filtration to cleanse the indoor air. The process includes drawing polluted air through filters which is then circulated back into the room.The purifiers absorb pollutants, dust particles and even odor to purify air inside a room which also ensures better sleep. How to choose an Air Purifier based on individual preference? The requirement for an Air Purifier can be different for every individual. Here's what best for few cases- • Asthmatic patients should opt for air purifiers having TRUE HEPA filters and should avoid Ozone based purifiers. • People having lower immunity levels and those on dialysis should install air purifiers of top quality with True HEPA filter, Pre-filter etc. • Only True HEPA Filter technology ensures 100% elimination of allergens. • People living in construction areas must ensure to have a purifier having a strong pre-filter. The pre-filters should be replaced frequently. • People living in industrial areas should own a purifier with Activated Carbon filters to remove the odour in the air. • People having pets at home should also opt for air purifiers with strong pre-filter to avoid breathing in pet hair Things to know before purchasing an Air Purifier Before you buy an air purifier, there are certain aspects that you must know beforehand. There are different technologies that purifiers work on. Here are the main features- Levels and Types of filters Pre-Filters, like foam and non-woven polyester, eliminate large particles like pet hair before the next stage of filtration. True HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) Filters clean allergens such as pollen, animal skin and dander, mold spores, and dust. HEPA filters can remove 99.9% of all the particles which can be as small as 0.3 microns. HEPA air purifier filters have to be changed from time to time. The larger the HEPA filter, the more particles it will be able to remove.The size, material, and construction of the filter highly determines air purifier's performance. Activated Carbon Filters are used in combination with other filters. Activated carbon/charcoal filters help in absorbing odors and gases thereby neutralizing smoke, chemicals, food smell and fumes. Carbon Filters also need to be replaced after use over time. Antibacterial and Germicidal Filters help in eradicating harmful bacteria and germs. UV filters along with HEPA filters ensures the air you breathe is sterile. This filter is generally used in hospitals, kitchens, labs and daycare schools to minimize the risk of airborne infections. Charged Media Filters combine a particle filtration along with an electrostatic charge filter to filter particles as small as 0.1 microns. This filter needs to be replaced as well to work efficiently. Photocatalytic Oxidation (PCO) filter uses of a titanium dioxide coated metal plate along with UV light to oxidize and physically break down chemicals during the filtration process. Air Change Rate of an Air Purifier The ACH (or the air change per hour rate) of an air purifier indicates exactly how many times the purifier filters the entire room's air in one hour. CADR Ratings CADR is the measure of delivery of purified air by an air purifier at its maximum speed setting. It is for both the amount of airflow and particle removal efficiency. Before making a purchase, look for the CADR as higher the CADR,higher will be the efficiency of the air purifier for a given room size. Air Purifier based on Area/ Room size The size of your room is an important factor for choosing a suitable Air purifier. Bigger spaces will need larger air purifiers so make sure you buy an air purifier that can operate in a space that is 20-40% larger than the room for the best performance. The choice of the air purifier also depends on the type of room.While buying for a bedroom, choose an air purifier that makes less noise so that you can sleep peacefully. For a living room,a purifier can have variable settings which you can change or decrease when no one is in the room. Customer Service and Warranty Every air purifier will require changes after 12 to 18 months. Make sure the after-sale service of your product is sound so that the replacement is quick and easy. Also, your Purifier is a big investment for you home so make sure you have long warranty on the product to protect you from manufacturing defects.
