I was distressed to learn recently that for every four trees that are destroyed on this planet, only one gets replaced. So this rocker is going to be my own treat to myself this winter. It takes a while to be delivered as it is custom made, but it is as beautifully designed as it is eco friendly. The webbing on the seats is recycled surplus car seat belts and the beach bent plywood construction is kinder on our forests. I think these rockers are a work of art. A gift for oneself. $1,049.99

I bought these soybean and cotton bath robes for my entire family last year and they have been a great hit. I love them! They are super soft and comfortable and wash like a dream. The undyed and sustainable soybean fibers feels and shines like silk on the exterior and the terry interior is very absorbent. This robe is for both men and women and comes in sizes Small/Medium and Large/Extra Large. $118.95

Reports by Consumer Experts of The Pet Machine Air Purifier
- Good Plus
Courtesy of AllergyBuyersClub.com
|
The Pet Machine air purifier is fundamentally the same unit as the Austin Air Healthmate and Healthmate Plus, except for its 15lb. carbon mixture includes much more zeolite and a special additive which improves its ability to absorb the smell of ammonia.
Pluses:
- Great air purifier for pet owners thanks to the unique carbon blend with a special additive designed especially to absorb ammonia based pet odors.
- You can expect excellent filtration from this unit with its quality 4 stage filtration process and 360° air intake. For best results we recommend placing the unit next to the source of odor and allergens.
- It features 4 casters so it can easily be roll from room to room if you decide to change the location of your pets cage or litter box.
- Capable of filtering large areas up to 1500 sq.ft. at 400cfm.
- Minimal maintenance – filters only require replacement every 5 years under normal use. We do recommend vacuuming the pre-filter every 3 months to help the unit work more efficiently. PERMAfilt pre-filter is designed to be vacuumed from the outside of the air purifier.
- Excellent 5 year warranty leaves you confident you have a quality product that is backed by its manufacturer.
- Austin Air air purifiers have all been UL, CSA and CE approved.
Minuses:
- Not as quiet as some of the other air cleaners we carry.
- Does not have a filter change indicator so you have to keep track of how long the filters have been in use.
- The 1500 sq. ft. air cleaning capacity specification assumes the unit is running consistently on high speed, which is not how most people operate their air purifiers. It will perform much more efficiently in a smaller room on a lower fan setting. For example, when used on low fan speed 75 CFM it can effectively clean a 141 sq. ft. size room at four air changes per hour.
Summary:
Austin Air is a trusted manufacturer who makes a solid air purifier backed by an excellent 5 year warranty. This unit features a special carbon, zeolite blend with an ammonia absorbing additive which makes it great for pet owners. The long life filters and minimal maintenance is a huge plus for all of us with very busy daily lives. This is a “turn it on and leave it with no worries” unit.

Blueair ECO10 Air Purifiers
- Excellent
Courtesy of AllergyBuyersClub.com

Pluses:
- Unbelievable energy efficiency – using only 10 watts max, it requires less energy than most energy efficient light bulbs and 95% less than comparable air cleaners.
- It stands way above the competition for energy savings, rating 10 times more efficient than the minimum performance requirements of the EPA for energy star rating.
- The ECO10 tested at 99.99% for particulate removal by our testing team which is a first class result. The improved design also meant it tested better than the other models in the Blueair line. Another justification for its higher price point.
- Amazing lifetime warranty ensures quality and performance.
- Very quiet on both speeds - perfect for continuous use, day and night.
- Eco-friendly - Blueair products offer exceptional performance without polluting the environment. Blueair replaces standard triclosan-coated paper or glass filter fibers, which can harm the environment when released into the waste stream, with safer, nontoxic polypropylene. This revolutionary filter media is one of the least harmful plastics, producing only carbon dioxide and water as it decomposes. Because polypropylene is waterproof, our filters naturally resist contamination from bacteria, viruses and mold, without chemical additives or washes. Blueair even uses a special powder coat finish that produces no chemical outgassing.
Minuses:
- Initially higher priced.
- Designed for particulate control only – does not have a carbon filter.
Summary:
Though initially a bit pricy, the cost saving benefits of the ECO10’s energy saving design will quickly make up the difference. A true breakthrough in air purifiers, we are amazed by every aspect of this unit and would recommend it for everyone looking to conserve energy and help save the planet. And let’s not forget in our enthusiasm for this machine’s eco-friendly properties that it does a first class job at removing allergens.
