5 Mistakes
The 5 mistakes most consumers make when choosing an air purifier:
1 – Buying an air purifier that does not cover adequate square footage
2 – Discovering that the replacement filters are overpriced on the model purchased
3 – Choosing the wrong technology for the job (EX: buying an Oreck to get rid of dust when the Oreck does not include a HEPA filter, and hence is inadequate for dust)
4 – Failing to review the warranty terms
5 – Purchasing an overpriced infomercial model
STEP ONE: Learn The TEN Technologies
There are 10 primary Purifier technologies available. The video below covers all 10 and what they help.
