Just as with anything else, filterless air purifiers offer a variety of pros and cons to those who use them. Depending upon the size, brand and overall effectiveness of the unit, what might – on one hand – be seen as nothing more than a nuisance that doesn’t offer enough in the way of relief from allergens for the amount that you paid for it, might also be the answer to someone’s dreams, if the benefits are great enough.

For instance, if you’re hoping to recycle the air throughout a large house, but have purchased a purifier that’s only equipped to handle a single room, then you’re going to be disappointed with its apparent performance. It’s important to consider all of the facts before making the commitment to buy a particular type of air purification system. Otherwise, you might just as well chase the wind – the success rate for each will be about the same.

Although there are many different types of filtration systems for the air, one of the best is the Electrostatic Air Purifier. Offering a lot in the way of health benefits, this unique approach to air cleaning has been a critical tool in the eradication of irritants in the interior of homes across the nation. Let’s take a look at some of the assets and liabilities that this type of air system has to offer.
 
Positives on an Electrostatic Air Purifier
 
+ By virtue of its very nature, this type of air filtration system is extremely quiet – and often, silent – making it less conspicuous than other purifying methods.

+ Unlike other types of air cleaners, the Electrostatic Air Purifier uses no filters that need to be replaced. Instead, steel collection rods attract the contaminants, which can then be removed during the cleaning process.

+ Due to their silent nature, these can be left on 24/7, offering continuous air purification. Other types of filtration systems are often turned off periodically, due to the noise factor, allowing allergens to take over the room in very short order.

+ A variety of allergens are trapped within the collection rods – often as small as a single micron. That being the case, irritants such as cat dander, pollen and other common pollutants can easily be filtered from the room to improve the quality of the air that you and your loved ones are breathing.

+ Provides thorough cleansing of the air, offering both an allergen-free environment and a natural air freshener by removing odors from the air that are caused by various contaminants.
 
Negatives
 
+ The initial cost of systems such as these can often be quite expensive. For those who are unprepared to handle a hefty price tag, this will be a great deterrent.

+ Since it pulls virtually all of the allergens and other contaminants out of the air within the structure of the home and holds them on steel collection rods, it requires frequent cleaning, so that the rods will be free to continue collecting the pollutants from the air.

+ Depending upon the brand and model that you purchase, some of the units can be a bit noisy, which is seen as an irritant by some people.

+ As a result of the way that this type of air cleaning system works, ozone and ions are released into the air, which can have adverse side effects to those who come into contact with them.
 
Whether you view the Electrostatic Air Purifier in a positive or negative light, there’s definitely something to be said for the fact that it’s successful in its ability to cleanse the air of those pollutants that trigger allergic reactions and – in some cases – agents which are responsible for spreading common illnesses.
