When we sold our home we moved into an apartment until we could find a small town home or condo. When we first viewed the apartment, every thing was fine. The apartment's property management company was very accommodating once they learned that I suffer from asthma. Things were fine until a month later when the tenant downstairs moved out & a new chain smoking tenant moved in. I never realized that cigarette smoke would actually come up through the walls/floor of our apartment from downstairs!!! As you might imagine, it did not take long for me to become ill. So, here we were sleeping with the window open & a window fan pulling outside air through our bedroom just so I could sleep & breath each nite.

I started looking on the web for an air purifier thinking this would solve our problem. Thank God I came across great sites for asthma sufferers & learned a simple air purifier would not help me at all!!! Since cigarette smoke is a chemical, I needed an air purifier which would not only clean the "air" but would also take out any chemicals from the air. Thus my search led me to the IQ Air GC series. There were other air purifiers on the market which claimed they would also take chemicals out of the air however reviews of the units were only fair as far as cigarette smoke was concerned.

The IQ Air has 4 different cartridges for filtering in different ways the air of chemicals. It also has a prefilter to take particles out of the air before the air is filtered through the other cartridges. It all sounded good but the price of the unit shocked me. The fact that Sylvane had a 30 day money back guarantee helped make up my mind to order the unit. I knew if it did not work I would be able to return and get our money back.

When the unit arrived I wasn't over joyed because I really did not expect it to live up to the reviews it received. I thought for sure in a week I would be sending it right back. In two days time - I was surprised to actually be breathing in our apartment free and clear of any problems. JUST 2 DAYS... To me it was a miracle!!

If you suffer from asthma you understand the anxiety of not being able to breath the air that someone else finds OK to breath. My husband was not bothered by the cigarette smoke - it was killing me!! I can't explain all the teckie elements of this unit - I can tell you it is worth its weight in gold as far as good air to breath. It was worth every penny we spent & I am certain it is the reason my asthma has not progressed over time.

Please remember, not all air purifiers are created equal. We have since moved & I have taken the IQ Air with me wherever we went. It truly has saved my health. If you suffer from cigarette smoke please consider getting this unit, it will pay for itself over time from the money you will save from doctor visits & inhalers!!

Wonderful
