air purifiers

I live in rented accommodation with damp bedrooms. I nowsuffer from rhinitis due i believe to mould spores in the air. There isabsolutely no way i can find alternative accomm so am considering buying an air purifier-ioniser which removes mould spores from the air. (I already have a dehumidifier to control the damp). Does anyone know how much it is likely to cost as i presume i will need it on most of the time. many thanks.

    It's an Air Purifier.
    It sucks, purifies and blows

    Here's a little sketch I knocked together to help explain.

    Nah I don't work for them. I bought one last year and it's been pretty good.
    You should see the amount of dirt it catches - and to think thats what I would've been breathing.

    The Siesta 7 sells for about £360 and the Siesta 3 goes for £150.

    When I was looking into purchasing an air purifier I did a lot of research. However I found that most of the positive reviews on the internet were for american products only, funny that? No mention of Daikin (a japanese company), even though they've dominated the air conditioning market for years.

    As far as I know, only the Siesta 7 carries 'The British Allergy Foundation Seal of Approval'

    Here's a couple of links with some more info for you:
