The Filtrete Dust & Pollen Furnace Filter is the right choice if you’re looking for an economical upgrade from cheap 1 month filters. The Filtrete “”Blue Filter”" features electrostatically charged fibers and is ideal for high-velocity heating/cooling systems. Even though Filtrete offers two better Filters than the Dust & Pollen Filter, ( the Micro Allergen Filtrete-Micro-Allergen-Air-Filter.asp & Ultra Allergen Filters-Fast-MERV-8-Air-Filters.asp ) the Dust & Pollen Filter is still more effective than the average washable or fiberglass disposable air filter which normally does not even remove dust from the air. Filtrete-Ultra-Allergen-Air-Filter.asp The Dust & Pollen “”Blue Series”" Filter Reduces: Pollen – when ingested into the human body causes the immune system to produce large amounts of antibodies, which in turn causes chemicals such as histamines to be released. The release of these chemicals cause the body to have symptoms such as sneazing, runny nose, and watery eyes. Mold Spores – when mold found in wood, ceiling tiles, wallpaper, paint, carpet, sheet rock, and insulation is distrubed mold spores are released into the air. Mold spores can cause symptoms such as sneazing, runny nose, and itchy or watery eyes. Dust Mite Debris – a combination of dead skin and dust mite feces, this debris lives in our beds, chairs, couches, and our children’s stuff animals. Dust Mite Debris is almost as effective as pollen at causing symptoms such as sneazing, running nose, and watery eyes. Household Dust – dust accumulates everywhere in your home; carpets, tables, TV screens, clothes, walls, ect. Simply walking around in your home may disturb or “”stir up”" dust into the air

Does it matter how much activated carbon the purifier has?

I’d liketo use the air purifier to remove odours/VOCs/etc.. and the Honeywell/Kaz purifiers come with an activated carbon sheet (model 38002). Would this be adequate or useful?
Or would it make a significant difference to buy a higher-end purifier that have lbs of activated carbon like from AllerAir or Austin? I know that wth the Honeywell the user must replace the activated carbon filter every 3mo, as opposed to longer lasting lifespans for those of the higher end purifiers, but aside from shelf life, is there a substantial difference in the "adsorbability" of the cheaper (ie Honeywell/Kaz) activated carbon and those of the more expensive brands?
If an air filter has the standard 2 filter system and a good powered fan, then the difference between a "high end" filter and a less expensive setup is the PRICE.
I’ll confess, my air filters DON’T have activated charcoal. They have the 2 filters with an ionizer. I’m very happy with the job they do, but then, I live in the country, so the need for activated charcoal filtration isn’t an issue. I vacuum off the primary filter regularly (easy to be reminded since I use them on high power when I’m vacuuming).
Activated charcoal is activated charcoal no matter what the system. You’ll do well with any model. It doesn’t have to be expensive.
