    What are you wanting it to do? 

    Pollen & dust or actual air pollution as you live on a busy road? 

    Recommendations may vary depending on what you actually want it to do.

    How will you be measuring the success?

    1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
    2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
    3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
    4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.

    Thanks Toothsmith.  Live in pollution free area.  Aiming to enhance wellbeing by removing bacteria , allergens etc.  Basically any enhancement of air quality.  Measurement will be purely subjective on if I feel any benefit.  Placebo or not !

    Thanks.  We always do !
  • We are using Levoit air filters (not a purifier). Reason being dust and pollens. Filters are HEPA and can be removed for a quick hoover and replaced when needed. Large one runs 33 watts max but I leave it on lowest a few days a week. They are also quiet.

    Not cordless though.
