Air purifier and asthma? Any benefit?

Awesome topic! I have Holmes air purifier that I use for the room in my house. I got the allergen filter. It definitely seems to help me breath easier, especially since I have cats. However, you really only notice it when the door is shut. 

I need to get a larger system and one for the other rooms, but they are not cheap and neither are the filters. Do your research on good brands.

I do love my Holmes one. It is very quiet also.

I used one air purifier from this best air purifier list - the Germguardian. It is suitable with my budget, has new technology to help with asthma in it.

To get a larger system for larger room, I suggest you using these large room air purifiers. It is not expensive as you think, I could easily find one for around $100 to $200, which is nearly the same as DIY air purifiers.

Thank you both!

@brentpham‍ that looks amazing. almost like a computer lol... Have you noticed any benefits? can you tell a difference? Do you have pets?

And to both of you, what about when you leave the home... any lasting effect?

Thank you again for your input and help!

@brentpham‍  and @asth89‍, out of curiosity what is it that you notice most out of these purifiers?

Thank you for the resource link @brentpham‍ 

@knsasmyhme‍ , yes I have one cat. Somehow it helps me keep my asthma in control. I vacuum the filter every 3 weeks and normally it covered with lots of dirt and hair. Another good benefit is the cooking smell's gone away. There is only one vent in my kitchen and I need an air purifier to help with.

@Lee__R‍ thank you. I don't rely much on the advertisement or name. There are only 3 things, CADR, power (Watts) and its filter. To test the filter, you could make a DIY air purifier, or research in the internet. GermGuardian filter is good, but if you have more budget, go for the rabbit air, honeywell or blueair.

 @brentpham‍ Thank you. I am thinking of investing in the one you purchased, especially since you feel it helps your asthma and then maybe buy a smaller one for my small rooms, like the office. But use the Germ Guardian for the bedroom.

Thank you so much for the help!

@knsasmyhme‍ sorry for not responding sooner. I apologize, just got notified of responses. 

For me, I notice that it helps with my asthma. For what it is worth, my partner is allergic to cats and well, we have a cat, but it seems to help. 

As far as a lasting effect after I leave from the house, it is hard to say... but I would like to say yes it does. I feel like because it helps with my asthma while I am at home from eliminating any possible triggers that this carries over.

Thank you all for all the assistance. much appreciated.
