- Well, it would be an awfully noisy and expensive air cleaner.

- Whether it would be good for allergies is something that is still being

- I have heard of it being sold for under $800 - the markup it extreme.
- Reconditioned units are occasionally available for under $500.
-
- I personally think it is a rip-off - way too much money for what you get.
