WILL THIS MODEL REDUCE DUST MITE
1622453
My husband and I have allergies and I'm worse because I have asthma along with all the other sinus/eye/skin issues. We use this filter in the bedroom and we are much better plus it is white noise(on low). I'm level 4 out of 6 on allergy test for dust mites. However, we also use Allersearch Laundry detergent on all bedding too.

Yes but it helps to keep your room under 50% humidity. works very well-I have allergies and have my asthma under control but really helps.

To be honest I should think so. You can get all the specs on this unit by looking at the spec sheet on the Honeywell web site. I dont know how small dust mites can be but I think the HEPA filter takes care of that size particle. Check the site and I hope this helped you out.

Sandy, it is labeled by the manufacturer to protect your mattress from bedbugs. The product label does not say anything about dust mites. I would suggest contacting the manufacturer to be sure.

It boils down to how much you value dust control. Kapex was designed with that as a big design criteria. attaching a vac to the dust port of a miter saw will not yield same results of a kapex set up

Sort of. It will take the dust off if there are large clumps or bigger areas, but you will need something closer to a Swiffer. Also, the broom head does not come off (at least in my experience) so getting into narrow places is difficult.

it helps eliminate all allergens, dander, and viruses i think as small as .5-.3 microns. but im almost certain it is .3 :) also the genius 5 is good but i have the genius 4 and i love it. I leave mine running 24/7 and I've had it about 6 months now. i just cleaned my filter and i was AMAZED at all the dust and dander it cleaned out of the air. I have 2 labs so i leave it running to filter their hair and it does wonders. would highly recommend getting one of these!

I've been using this unit in my home for a while now and my experience is that it does a pretty good job removing dust. If I shake a blanket in the room where the unit is, it will kick onto high and then return to normal when the dust has dissipated.

no more then sugar does. a broom and dust rag, and and dust mop reduces dust in the home :^)

Considering the amount of activated carbon in the packets, I would have to say no. The HEPPA filter is what will remove the majority of particles that will cause you to have issues. With that said activated carbon removes mold etc that can also cause people serious issues. This machine is a good next to your bed to reduce dust and most allergens, but if your having serious issues, you will eventually have to bite the bullet and spend money on a top machine, an IQ air which healed my mother's chronic bronc. That the doctors failed to fix after three years of expensive steroids and inhalers. Airpura is also an amazing machine and is cheaper than an IQ air, you can always shop for deals.

No, but see about vaccuming out accumulated dust. That can perhaps be a problem.

Good afternoon,We cannot detect dust mites. We only detect chemicals. Please let me know if I can answer anything additional.Regards,Rebekah ArmentroutHome Air Check

I believe that it should. Mine is next to some gerbil cages that get dust baths. The dust gets caught in the carbon filters and what doesn't get caught there it gets caught in the HEPA filter.

I am sorry I can't answer that question, we have never had dust mites in our bed.

Yes and no.......when I connect the vacuum to a tool I do not see a difference with dust and chips collected but if I connect the wand to clean the floor then I notice decreased suction.

Dust mites aren't harmful to people but can cause allergies. The barrier blocks skin particles from getting into the mattress, cutting off the mites' food supply so they decrease in number. You may be thinking of bedbugs, which do bite and for which you would need a fully encasing protector.

there is nothing built in the machine for dust or scratches,but if you use compressed air it will help. For the scratches rub your nose for some skin oil and apply to the scratch

I love my Mighty Mite...light weight, easy to change the filtes, good for steps and getting into corners. I had an old one, and replaced it with the new model and I'm pleased with my purchase. Vacuums are just too expensive and complicated these days. Not this one.

I did not see a reduction in the airflow when I installed the filter. I did have far less fine particle dust once I installed it which was what I was looking to achieve.
