After reading extensively on the subject, other than finding out that the ionic ones do more harm than good by releasing ozone, I've yet to find a definitive answer on what is a good air purifier.

Granted, I've found professional grade, hospital use ones that for $1000 but those seem to be overkill. Does anyone here have an experience with different air purifiers? What seems to work well, especially at catching pollen?
