- TylerE 3y agoI do wish the filters were better though, they're really not very good, just basic cellulose. They're mainly to catch big stuff like pet hair. Nowhere near a HEPA.
- poulsbohemian 3y agoThat's a very fair point - I still find that they've made a difference for me, even with the limitations.
- TylerE 3y agoYeah, I'm sure they do. I've got so many low-moderate level allergies that it's kinda hard to establish what normal even really feels like. I got a round of shots as a teen that helps, but it's still some level of congestion at the best of times. Actually the biggest difference I found when I first started on it (almost 10 years ago now), besides the obvious sleep stuff, is that the humidifier keeps me from getting nosebleeds about 3 times a week in the winter.
- mook 3y agoUnless you have a Phillips Respironics, in which case it helpfully adds bits of foam (pre-recall) or formaldehyde (post-recall) to your air stream. I realize that Phillips says it's under limits, but they aren't really trust inducing right now…
