Momma Told Me: Do you know what you're breathing?

The air- its the one thing you are guaranteed to come in contact with on a daily basis, and it enters and leaves your body every single moment. I was raised more aware of the atmosphere and my surroundings, than the average kid, as Momma lost the majority of her lung capacity to cancer when I was just 4. While her lungs remained physically in her chest the surface area within them was so badly scarred she could only process a fraction of normal oxygen absorption. As a result we avoided smoke (and smokers,) pollen, pet dander, and anything that might irritate her lungs and inhibit her breathing further. Because of this I consider my own lungs quite virgin, and am extra sensitive to the particles in the air I breathe.

But you don't have to have a loved one with asthma or allergies to appreciate the quality of good, clean, air. You do, however, have to realize that contaminants to that air can come from a variety of places, no matter how clean or buttoned up you keep your home. That's why a medium size (150-20 sq feet) Air Purifies such as the Fellowes AeraMax™ 190 Air Purifier makes a logical gift for your own home or family this season. Believe it or not indoor air can contain up to 5 times the number of pollutants as the atmosphere just outside your home's walls! Pollutants such as the air borne influenza virus, which the AeraMax™ 190's 4 stage purification system can actually filter out of the air you breathe!

We've had the Fellowes AeraMax™ 190 Air Purifier, from Penny Wise Office Products, in our house for about a month and I can definitely sense and see the difference. See? Yes, see! This air purifier not only has an easy remove and replace HEPA filter, where I can see visible contaminants that have been trapped, but the front touch screen display has an easy to read AeraSmart™ 190 Sensor system that detects and conveys the current air quality. Simply take a glance at the sleek front profile of this unit and take note of the Blue, Amber, or Red quality alert marker; the purifier will automatically adjust fan speed to increase or decrease filtration based on it's readings. How's that for a smart appliance?

My father was a bit skeptical that an air purifier could actually be of use in his home, so I was happy to bring it over for a demonstration. The Felowes AeraMax™ 190 Air Purifier has a convenient hidden handle cubby for transport and the generous cord length means the unit can be conveniently tucked away (or strategically placed) for optimal treatment. With a 190' impact radius, the Fellowes AeraMax™ 190 Air Purifier is appropriate for most medium sized rooms such as average living rooms and master bedrooms. While the dust in my father's home was visible (sorry dad!) there were other obvious contaminants present. Even the oxygen providing plans can house allergen spores, and pets with their dander can easily spell big time trouble for sensitive noses and lungs.

I was happy to note the AeraSmart™ Sensor never went from Amber to Red, but it did spend a decent portion of its initial time in the moderate (Amber) zone. Unexpectedly, one of the benefits of having a great air purifier around was some odor filtration. Lingering smoke (and even the particles from cooking odors) are neutralized and absorbed noticeably. We were even able to effectively situate it between the two main couches for higher traffic days with guests and visitors, thanks to the tall profile with side venting.

As someone who was raised to be sensitive to mites, dust, smoke, and pollen, having a high quality intelligent Air Purifier like the AeraMax™ 190 on hand is priceless for my piece-of-mind. Gone are the days when I'd have to hide in my home wondering if I'd still suffer an allergy attack behind closed doors. And this device is pretty darn discreet when it comes to quiet- which is even better when on Smart Mode and left running throughout the day. Order your Fellowes AeraMax™ 190 Air Purifier from Penny Wise Office Products and be sure to keep an eye out for other household and office innovations by this great brand!

What Daughter Says: Feel a little more confident in what you're not breathing in with a home air purifier system for you high traffic rooms.
