My air conditioning filter is getting plenty of use this summer. I will think about getting another filtering system in the fall. (Let the clean-air corrections begin)
@airjer
Possibly better question: Is this company real, or just a label stuck on the outside of a box from a manufacturer of goods that you are free to rebrand at your discretion? There’s way too much of that going around, these days.
@airjer@werehatrack Also adding to that theory, the filter systems seem completely different in style and technology. The small is a typical round canister like shop-vacs use, and for some reason only available from a 3rd party on Walmart, and eBay for a price higher than the unit with filter here. The medium is a ´pancake’ disc. And the large is a more conventional sheet system, probably the easiest to kludge if you had to hack your own once these become unavailable.
Gotta like how two of the key ´features’ are that it does NOT have a UV source or ion generator. Both are often in more expensive units, and are almost always switchable on and off if you don’t want to use them. So this is saying ´Hey, I’m 45 bucks, and what’s more, NONE of those scary features to worry about’
@grimblegromble@pmarin
And the UV source is generally only good for producing a decorative purple light around the edge of something. It’s almost never at a frequency that will actually do anything aside from make an old '60s pop art poster glow. Not having to pay extra for crap that does nothing useful, and sometimes does something you really don’t want, is most certainly a feature.
@poids
You won’t get any ionization of the air flowing through one of these filters from the level of UV that can be produced by the LEDs that they use, and if they were using a UV source that could ionize the air, the result would be ozone. And you do not want ozone. UV-C is useful for disinfection, but the majority of these manufacturers don’t use UV-C LEDs. They use the 395 nm ones instead, which produce the entertaining purple glow. Chabuduo.

I sense danger!
/giphy runs with scissors
@yakkoTDI
@guybrush01 Fast cars, danger, fire and knives!!
Hmm, the last air purifier I bought from meh is still in the box, so I probably don’t need another one right now.
@heartny Same here.
@heartny @Kyeh Well maybe if your air wasn’t so bad those other purifiers would come out of the box! Buy this NOW!!
/giphy buy it
@heartny But what if you need two rooms purified at once? You’d be real SOL wouldn’t you?
@heartny @yakkoTDI
@heartny @Kyeh I bet the air in the box is really pure by now.
No, she reeks of death.
@Kyeh ah yes, thanks Kyeh!
@Kyeh @troy Though she might also wreak death, but that information was not shared in the story.
@troy @xobzoo True. One little preposition can make a big difference. Sounds more like death was wrought upon her.
@Kyeh @troy @xobzoo And death wrought rot upon her, from what the writer wrote. Right?
@macromeh @troy @xobzoo
Oh, excellent! Nice alliteration.

@hchavers You clearly need to call in Ken Clean Air Systems for an immediate consultation!
Convince me why these are better than a high MERV furnace filter bungeed to a box fan

@bruhaha Are you aesthetics-neutral? Is your TV also on a pile of milkcrates and plywood?
@bruhaha @itsthebrod
You have milk crates and plywood? We have to make do with stacking them on top of old Meh boxes
@bruhaha @itsthebrod @werehatrack
It’s Redneck chic!
Perfect for this bedroom.
@bruhaha @itsthebrod @Kyeh @werehatrack Hey is that rear tire Flat? Seems approporiate,l
So, the large one has a Molecular Sieve and Cold Catalyst, but no Flux Capacitor?
@pmarin
Not surprising, given that the only known source for flux capacitors has had them on back order for more than a decade.
Any real reviews of this company anywhere?
@airjer looking for the same.

@pmarin The ion generator isn’t actually a good thing unless you like breathing ozone(protip: your body doesn’t like that).

@grimblegromble @pmarin @werehatrack UV also produces ions.

Couldn’t care less about the air purifiers but I’m happy to see another episode of Ghastly Comfort!
The model numbers start with PU. I’m out.
