They do a great job of cleaning the air, but a side effect of the way they operate is that they cause all particulate matter to stick to your walls and ceiling - probably floor too, but harder to notice there. After a year or two of use you will be horrified at what you see after removing a picture from the wall so you can see the original color. The effect is worst in a home with smokers, but is noticeable anywhere, given time. Something to consider when choosing an air cleaning system. -- Jim H [Posted in FML issue 3152]
