Ever since I was a kid, I already experienced various kinds of allergies which I inherited from my mother, who has very sensitive skin prone to skin allergies. I have allergic rhinitis, which makes me  sneeze a lot during the early morning and before going to sleep, as well as skin allergies. I worry that my daughter, at such a young age, could develop allergic rhinitis and sensitive skin too. Since the hot climate especially this summer triggers skin rashes, my husband and I decided to install an air conditioner in our room.

The disadvantage of having an air conditioned room is that allergens such as pollen, dust, and molds can be stuck and confined inside the room, which could also cause allergies. That is why we realized that we have to buy an air purifier. After browsing through several air purifier reviews, we were able to narrow down our options to two brands and models.

We based our choices on the capacity to eliminate allergens and odors, not just its aesthetic quality. Panasonic F-P15HU2 uses a dual-filter system, activated charcoal, and HEPA, and it easily removes dust, pollen, mildew, and other allergens as well as smoke and bad odors. We considered this model since we know that the brand has a proven track record. Our other choice is Surround Air N-Lite 5000 Multi Function HEPA air purifier, because aside from eliminating allergens and other pollutants, it has a germicidal UV lamp that prevents the micro-organisms from breeding inside its filter, and a practical light function. Since we give importance to our family’s health, we don’t hesitate to spend if it means ensuring our child the necessary protection that she needs.
