Give Allergies the Boot with an Air Purifier

By 15 Comments

Lately, I’d been crushing on a new accessory for our home, and it’s one that won’t do anything to make our house prettier, but it would going to go a long way to making it significantly healthier. What is this magical device? An air purifier. Since I had my eye on one for quite a while, I jumped when Honeywell offered to send me a free True HEPA Allergen Remover in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

Tired of battling allergies? I've tired all the tips, tricks, and medications, but this is the one fix that actually goes to the root of the problem--and boots it for good! Give it a try in your home and start breathing in all that fresh, clean air! No allergens allowed!

So read on to get the whole scoop on our experience with our new Honeywell Air Purifer and pay close attention for exciting news!

Why do you need an air purifier?

Who here loves allergies? No one, right? With all their sniffling, sneezing, watery eyes, coughing and even mild flu-like symptoms, they are an unwelcome nuisance that so many of us battle. While we can do our best to combat the symptoms, this isn’t always effectual. Allergy medications, leaving shoes by the front door, frequent cleaning, neti pot usage…whatever our plan of attack is, it can only go so far.

To truly cut allergy symptoms, we have to cut the allergens in the air. How do we do that? Enter the air purifier!

How do allergens get in the air in our homes?

A zillion ways, but several of them are parts of our every day lives that we would never consider to be detrimental to the quality of air in our homes.

  • Vacuuming, a way we clean our homes, actually releases dust and other allergens in the air.

  • Making the bed? Shaking or ruffling bedding can release dust mite debris and other allergens.

  • We love our pets! But levels of pet dander can be found in every U.S. home even if you’re not a pet owner.

  • Couches are fantastic places to crash, but during the lifetime of a couch, it can collect dust, pet dander, and other airborne allergens


Does the air purifer really work?

After testing our new Honeywell Air Purifer in our in our home for two weeks, I’m going to go with a resounding YES. I started allergy season panicked I’d have to resort to prescription medication, as my other go-to tricks didn’t seem to be taking proper effect. Now? I’m happily rocking my neti pot and calling it a healthy day sans any additional medication.
Throw in a very large, very hairy dog, and our house has an “extra challenge” with keeping our air clean, but despite this, even in the thick of allergy season, we’ve all managed to remain allergy-symptom free.

    I need this! Like you, we’re a household of allergy sufferers and our big, hairy dog doesn’t help. I’m so glad your air purifier is doing such a great job of reliving your symptoms!

    It’s amazing how many health issues can be allergy related! My doctor just started me on a treatment for seasonal allergies for something that had absolutely nothing to do with the typical sneezing/coughing, etc. (We’re trying it to treat my vertigo and ringing in the ears.) This would be great!

    Allergies are the WORST! My husband and 10 yr old suffer year round, but Spring is by far the worst for them. I’m also a seasonal allergy sufferer, so this would be awesome to help alleviate some of the symptoms! Great tips too!

    I have an allergy to dust mites, which basically means I have allergies all the time, everywhere. I would definitely setup an air purifier in my bedroom!

    My kids and I suffer pretty much year-round. The allergy doctor is threatening to put me on shots if things don’t improve soon – I’d love a chance to try something else first!

    I always wanted an air purifier! Fingers crossed that I win one! We all suffer from allergies and living around new construction doesn’t help! Glad to read that this really helps!
