Spring and Fall I get allergy attacks something fierce. Will this device help alleviate that in my daily life?

I think it is possible because it ionizes the air around your face. It does that for me with my allergies to perfumes and colognes.

Hello Cindy,Thank you for contacting Tools for Wellness! The Wein Mini Mate is a great product! It's our best selling Personal air purifier. Although the devise works very well and will certainly assist you in your battle against allergens its difficult for me to say it will absolutely work for you. It works very well for most people and the reviews/feedback we get is very positive. But, everyone is different and depending ton the severity its difficult to say its the only tool you'll need. Sorry to be vague... I hope this helps. Thank you! Gail

Yes, it should. However, I've used mine for animal allergies. The unit I bought 15 yrs. ago, which cost $100 - twice as much as today's unit - worked better, I feel. Why the catalogue Magellan doesn't offer it any longer, I don't know, but I do wonder if it's because the present unit isn't quite as effective.

Yes, this definitely helps my wife. She has severe seasonal allergies and is a hairdresser where there are various scented products that are irritants- it works well for all.

I don't know - I'm not trying to relieve allergies with it, only reduce odors, and it does do that. Dust mites are a whole 'nother thing. I think I would get a tabletop air purifier, seal my mattress, things like that - which I should do also but haven't done yet. But these little machines are not very expensive and it might be worth it to try one.

I'm sure it works best if left in one room and ran all the time. However we have a 3 bedroom with vaulted ceilings in our large kitchen/dining/living room. I run it for a few hours in each room then all night in our living area. We had forest fires 30 mins away from us and the air outside was considered toxic when we bought this. I noticed a huge difference in the air quality in our home. We still use it year round to freshen up the air during the winter and help keep allergies down the rest of the year. Just make sure to clean it often and correctly so the filters work properly.

I would suggest getting two. Having enough is always best, not having anough makes oe feel like the job wasnt quite done. I had a good experience with this.. both of my children and I have allergies and my youngest asthma. This product helped when I lived with my sister and we had several dogs inside of the house. It was either try this or get rid of the dogs. Our kids loved their animals and the animals helped soothe the kids during stormy nights..It was a help keep or home more allergen free.Best of luck.

I'm not sure if I can blame this product, but my allergies got a lot worse since I purchased this back in May.

It has in my room. My boyfriend is severely allergic to pet dander and if I turn it up to the highest setting for hours before his arrival and leave it on he can sleep over and doesn't have allergy or asthma attacks

I must tell you that we are thrilled with our Hunter air cleaner. It sits in our family room which is approximately 15X19. We have two dogs and this device has eliminated that "dog" smell completely. In addition, we both feel quite a difference in air quality. I am also prone to sinus infections and since we got this unit, I haven't had any infections. Better yet, as most know, up here in New England, the winter weather is quite nasty and colds, flu, etc. are rampant. So far this winter, nobody in our household has gotten sick (for the first time ever). I don't think it's just because of this unit but I'm sure it has helped in that arena. I highly recommend the Hunter. I must tell you that we are thrilled with our Hunter air cleaner. It sits in our family room which is approximately 15X19.

I don't have cat allergies but since moving to the south, Ive had allergies from the extreme pollen. If it could help me with that, I wouldn't be surprised if it helped with cat allergies. I can now drive with the window open.

I am not sure in your case. Depends on why you are solving for. If just to clean air, then maybe not. In my case, wife was having headaches. These units really clean the air and improved quality of life. She no longer gets headache. For me, worth every penny.

It is an antihistamine, for allergies, I have used it for sometime now.;. It works well. I have year round allergies, house dust, trees, grasses, ragweed, plus other irritants, like perfumes. I also have prescription meds. It does help control the discomfort. Joy

You can certainly use it to create a draft to have strong airflow. I haven't tried putting an allergy filter on one, but you could probably tie one on the back. That's going to slow the airflow, especially if it's dense enough to filter pollens. Plus, since you'd be filtering new air constantly, instead of filtering recycled air in a closed room like most air filter machines, the filter would need replacing very frequently. If you don't mind replacing it often, and with two fans to create strong air flow, this may be what you are looking for. If you need the filter, then you may also wish to make sure the intake window is sealed or blocked off where the fan doesn't fit so you don't get unfiltered air coming through the window above or to the side of the fan (depending on how the window opens).

I actually started getting an allergic reaction from it (rashes and itchiness). So I stopped using it. However, the time I was using it, it didn't make a noticeable difference.

You might also check to be certain ionized air is safe for a baby. For adult use and settings other than an airplane, I will say that I love this device. I believe it helps with my allergies.

honestly mr parker i am not sure. but it blocks out tiny dust particles, so it is possible it would help against pollen. i hope this would help ~maria
