Dehumidifiers & Air Purifiiers

[NYCMel]

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone have any advice on the BEST dehumidifiers and air purifiers for the apartment? Has anyone tried out the IQ Air Purifier at Bumps to Babes?

Thanks!

Before you buy, check websites like Consumer Reports because they have done a ton of research on these things.
And are you looking for a combination dehumidifier/air purifier or two separate items?

Currently there are really only two brands worth while. IQ air and Alen Air Purifiers.

The main difference is that Alen is probably more suitable for residential use and is much cheaper than IQ air.

Here is a good site to compare brands

We feel that IQ Air is the best. It's expensive, but worth it in HK.

Its is the most recognized brand but priced at over 15 K I just dont see how people can actually pay for more then one unit which is recommended if you have more than one bedroom.

We have a house with multiple bedrooms and one machine wont cut it because you really cant assume that the particles in the air will make it from your babies bedroom all the way into the living room where the air purifier sits. This being said we felt it was more affordable and effective to set the Alen air purifiers in each room.
