What brand/make/model of AIR PURIFIER should I buy and where besides AMAZON.COM?
I recently moved and I suffer from allergies. I was wondering what kind or Air Purifier I should buy. I have seen the ION BREEZE machines, but wonder if those work the same as a HEPA air filter, say from Target or WAL-MART, etc. I want something for my bedroom area only when I sleep at night and something quiet, not noisy. I plan on having a baby too soon, so would like something for them as well. I live in Arizona, so the air here sometimes gets really dirty and dry during the summers (106 heat, bus smog, dust mites, car exhaust, dust storms don't go together! LOL). I just feel safer knowing my air is somewhat gettign cleaned and I am getting a good nights rest. I have seen these machines (various types) in my friends homes and they work really good. One them smokes in his house and his machine sucks the smoke right up out of the air. No residue on the furniture and smells. HELP PLEASE! LOL Just Kdding! I have looked an amazon for info. Just looking for suggestions! 
Best air purifier overall:
IQAir HealthPro (*est. $700)
The IQAir HealthPro air purifier is expensive, but according to reviews, it is the best option for people with severe allergies. This brand was chosen by the Hong Kong Hospital Authority as the only room air cleaner powerful enough to be used during the SARS outbreak. Reviews say the IQAir HealthPro can clean up to a 900-square foot room, and uses a HyperHEPA filter. The IQAir has a filter change alert and a five-year warranty. (*est. $700)
Best value:
Alen 350 (*est. $400)
The little-known Alen 350 air cleaner is meant for smaller rooms than the IQAir (400 to 900 square feet), but in tests, it removes nearly as many allergens from the air, and it's a little quieter. Like the IQAir air cleaner, the Alen uses a true HEPA filter along with a pre-filter and a carbon filter for odors. While reviews say the IQAir is the best you can buy, the Alen 350 air purifier comes close for a lot less. The Alen 350 also comes with a lifetime warranty. (*est. $400)
Air purifier for smaller rooms:
Whirlpool Whispure 45030 (*est. $270)
In testing, the Whirlpool 45030 air purifier does a good job all around, especially in smaller rooms. The Whirlpool has a replaceable HEPA filter (*est. $130 annually), somewhat negating the savings. It has a filter-change indicator, and is rated for an area of less than 500 square feet. The Alen 350 removes more allergens overall, but if you don't have severe air-quality problems, the Whirlpool is a good choice.
Air cleaner for very small rooms:
Honeywell Enviracaire 50250 (*est. $150)
The Honeywell air purifier is only effective in small areas. Though it's cheaper than the Whirlpool Whispure, it's also noisier. Like the best air purifiers on the market, the Honeywell uses a HEPA filter, with an odor-reducing carbon pre-filter. The Honeywell takes in air from all sides of its cylindrical design, expelling cleaned air out the top, but it doesn't pull as much air through its filters as the Whirlpool, Alen or IQAir. (*est. $150)
