Blueair air purifiers anyone?

For those interested, blueair.com has their Classic 605 on sale for $332 (regular $830). It's top-rated by Consumer Reports.

Still a lot of money for basically a fan with some filters, but ~$500 discount is nothing to sneeze at.

Replacement filters aren't cheap, although it does appear there are non-OEM filters that are slightly cheaper.

Kinda like buying a printer; the printer is inexpensive but they get you on the replacement ink prices.
