air purifiers?

[Mizicke5273]

I use a rabbitair overnight , then a lampeberger in the am.

I'm actually in the market for a smoke eater/purifier and have looked at the Rabbits. Which model do you have and how long have you had it?

I have been trying a Kenmore Plasmawave that dosen't make a lick of a difference. Though I guess it's more a general air cleaner and not a smoke eater.

I have the The RabbitAir Minus A2. I bought it from Famous Smokeshop's auction.
I had a Honeywell before and it did nothing. The rabbitair works wonderful.

I've been doing some research at lunch today, and the Rabbitairs have received some really good reviews. Csonka, Friedrich, and ECOquest have been recommended on other boards, but haven't seen too many reviewers recommending them.

Paddy, do you let it run all the time or only after you smoke?

That depends on how much I smoke that day. I do most of my cigar smoking at night after dinner. I will run the unit while I smoke and then all night long. shut it off in the morning and light a lampeberger or some Indian incense. If I was to walk back into my cigar room later that day you could never tell I smoke cigars in it. If the weather is bad and I smoke through out the day in the room I will run it nonstop. It seems to not impact my electric bill very much. I have not noticed any significant raise in the bill.

Well, I smoke in the basement in the winter. And for some reason this year the smell is just lingering worse than ever. Not that I have been smoking more........ No way that could be it! I picked up the Kenmore to try out and it does nothing, doesn't help it is only for a 150 sqft room. The incense that I burn does more. So, I'm now looking for a beefier unit, that will work.

I went through two units untill I found one that worked. A Consaka smoke clocker and a Honeywell 50250. My wife now uses the Honeywell in our bedroom ( she likes the white noise). The rabbitair does the job. It's pricey, but works.

So far all my research I have done, and I'll be honest that only amounts to a few hours of looking around , has pointed me to you get what you pay for. For myself, looks like I'll be picking up a Rabbitair some time soon.
