No not usually---but this summer, there were forrests fires north, south and east of where I live, in WA state and for about 2 weeks the smoke was horribe--I then bought air purifiers for most the living spaces and bedrooms. Kept the the place closed up and ran those machines 24/7---seemed to help. was really bad for awhile. Bought mine from AMZ --got the best reviewed ones that didn't cost an arm and a leg.

Yes. Every bedroom has a standing HEPA filter by Honeywell (these take 2 filters each). They provide clean air especially during pollen season plus a white noise that we all love.

In my dream home, I would have a built-in filtration system in my HVAC. As it stands, I make sure to change the filter in my HVAC montly instead of every 3 months (as the filter states).

No we just open the windows. Free, always effective.

No, I don't, I'm sorry.  I used to have one in the bedroom, but when that went I got a fan.  After all, the main thing I liked about the purifier was the white noise.

Yes we definitely do.

We have a cat and dog who both shed a TON and my son is allergic to the fur so in addition to ensuring I vacuum alot the purifiers are on 24/7.

I have 3 Hamilton Beach purifiers and I like them. They do a god job and they have permanent filters that only need vacuumed off.

As someone else mentioned the Filtrete filters, we also change ours every month (they can last up to like 3 or 4 months though) and that also helps.

I also like windows open when I can but in the winter that's not always easy to manage.

Yes we have two. One in our Main Living Room/Family Room and also one in our Master Bedroom......Love them!!!! I also like the white noise.

My DD gifted me with a Coway air purifier during the most recent California fires.  It worked hard for days during that time (we are not close but the air was horrid).  Later on, I found that it's also terrific for cooking odors.
