- Jason,
-
- Try looking at Sears or Wards, the one's I've seen there are 1/3
- of the cost.
-
- Also, I don't know if you have any Price or Pace clubs in Texas,
- but I have a large unit (floor model) environcare that cost
- less than $176, I believe the sale price was $135.
- (I'm not sure since it was a Christmas present). However, my
- mother is currently in the market for a larger one (she has one as you
- described and she only paid $60 for it, it uses charcoal filters and
- is more on the line of an ionizer than a purifier.
-
- Good luck
