Do you have access to the US Consumer's Reports? They have done a lot on air purifiers. I remember that a lot of them emit something harmful as a by-product. Ozone if memory serves me. So you have to be careful. Try this website:cinnamon said:

interesting new air purification device...i'll keep you updated
My husband and I are also really concerned about air quality. I went to the Town Hall meeting about air quality last week and the evidence is pretty damning.
I got in touch with a friend of ours in UK who works in the field and she is sending us some kind of state of the art air purifier from the US. It's apparently not available in Hong Kong yet and much more efficient than the ones you get here. I sent her the specs of the ones I saw in the shops here to check over and she said this one was better.
We take delivery of it next week so I'll give you feedback about how we find it and whether we'd recommend it.

Mammamei,
I'm not sure what model Bumps to Babes sells IQ has a number of different models. We actually have three of the IQ Air HealthPro 150. We have a purifier in both of our kid's bedroom and one in our main living space. Three is probably a bit of overkill, but we feel better by having them. For us, air purifiers were a must when we decided to move to Hong Kong. You can't do to much about the outdoor air quality, but at least we can control the indoor air quality.
We are really happy with the purifiers we bought. When we first moved to HK I had a cronic tickle/cough in my thoat, but it dissappeared when we got the air purifiers. The model we bought is really great, it's got all sorts of program options, so you can program it to automaticly run at different speeds at different times of the day.
We bought ours through Fabri-technic indoor air quality specialists. Their web (and phone no. is) www.28158388.com. Their website has a link to the specs and consumer reviews/awards.
As far as the question "how effective are air purifiers?" It really depends on what you buy.
