Filterless Air Cleaners Make No Sense: Airfree Lotus Air Purifier

Corbett Lunsford

Honestly, it's starting to piss us off that some of these marketing teams are combining their shocking lack of understanding of what they're selling, with an assumption that their customers won't be able to understand it either. Let's fix that right now, starting with this Airfree Lotus 'filterless air purifier'. Oh, and they make one specifically for baby rooms too, if this wasn't dumb enough already.

If you need cleaner air, use good filters, or dilute with outdoor air using something as simple and affordable as an AirCycler: https://www.aircycler.com/

Comparetto DIY Air Cleaner Filtration Rig

Corbett Lunsford

My friend Neil Comparetto came up with a very effective, very inexpensive way to clean air for less than $100. It's not fancy, but it works as well or better than many high-end air purifiers and filtration products 'they' are trying to sell you. The important thing is that it's a fan and a filter, which is all you should ask for in an air purifying device- nothing that 'destroys', 'eliminates', or 'sanitizes' using 'electronics', 'UV', or 'plasma'. Neil Comparetto's a great HVAC expert if you happen to be in Virginia: https://www.facebook.com/comparettocomfortsolutions/
