Air Purifier for Dorm Room--5 Must Have Features In An Effective Dorm Room Air Purifier
If you're sending your grown up baby off to college, one of the most important fixtures in their dorm room should be an air cleaner.
With Swine Flu outbreaks continuing to occur on college campuses, extra protection for your child seems prudent. Taking control of the air quality with constant filtration gives your student control over air quality that would normally not be an option. And cleaner air means increased chances of a healthier year. Choose these 5 features to insure that your student has the best purifier and the most protection.
Compact-Dorm rooms are well known for their lack of space, so an effective air cleaner needs to take up as little floor space as possible and be flexible in its placement in the room. That means it needs to be able to function effectively on the floor, up on a shelf, and should need only about 6 inches clearance from any wall. Avoid those units that must be placed in the middle of the room or you'll find it will simply be shoved to the side lines and never used.
Rugged-Steel housing is a good idea for several reasons, the first being the most obvious-its tough stuff. Secondly, a good air purifier needs to operate 24 hours a day to keep up with airborne pollutants like dust, pollen, mold and mildew spores, odors, bacteria and viruses. Choosing a cleaner made of steel will avoid the noxious off gassing that often occurs with plastic units when the motor heats up the housing.
Low Maintenance-The last thing you want your student to have to do is to spend time maintaining the air purifier. The pace of college life can be hectic. So there's not a lot of time for maintaining an air cleaner. A purifier that needs a lot of maintenance will probably go unused, leaving your student unprotected. Filters that need to be washed, sprayed, charged or changed frequently should be avoided at all costs. Instead choose a purifier that contains a canister with multiple filters that are designed to last all through their college years (5 year filter life) and needs only an occasional vacuuming on the outside.
Light Weight-You remember your college days, and so you know that furniture gets moved around a lot. In order for the cleaner to be a true companion for your student's health, it needs to be able to go with the flow and be light enough to move where it's needed that week.
Durable-Opt for a purifier that has a substantial warranty of at least 5 years so that you know that it will last. Just knowing that the manufacturer isjyijiuo willing to stand behind the unit for 5 years is an indication that it is well made, and probably means it most likely will last and not need repair. But if it doesn't, you've got an ace in the hole.
A well made air purifier with these features should cost less than 20 cents per day to operate. Knowing your student is breathing the cleanest air possible-priceless.
