Can anyone comment on this? Does it work? I know they say it is better than nothing, but is it worth the money?

Will it be a problem if my only air return is on the 1st floor underneath my stairs? My master bedroom is on the 2nd floor with no air returns. This is the room we spend more time in so I would want this treated especially.

My friend bought a Honeywell whole house air cleaner and he says it works great. I dont know if the portable one is the way to go, but it would be awesome to have cleaner air in all the rooms?

Please advise...Thank you!

We pull more EAC filters out than we put in. People dont keep them clean so they work right. Might look into a Airbear Kind . On the furnace . that will cover the bed room then for you.

Ed - Are you saying to use an Airbear air filter?

Any thoughts on the Aprilaire 5000 Whole House Air Cleaner?
