AirTamer A302 | Small Personal and Portable Air Purifier | Lithium Battery Operated | New Electrostatic Purification Technology, Proven Performance, Metal Travel Case

Here's my complete factual experience with this product. You can draw your own conclusions.I originally bought the Airtamer for use on airplanes, as most do. I have flown Delta and American, and there has never been an issue with wearing it. Before I bought it I used to get sick regularly after traveling. In the years since I bought it, this has never happened again.I am also a teacher and getting older and more prone to illness. Two years ago I got sick 5 times during the school year. Last school year I got sick 5 times before Christmas. So, I decided to try wearing the Airtamer at school as well as on airplanes, and began Jan. 1, 2014. It is now Dec. 3, 2014, and I have not had a cold since (knock wood!).I also noticed that, since I started wearing it daily, my usual allergies have been diminished. I find that if I have an allergy attack and turn on the Airtamer, the attack usually goes away with 10 minutes, often less.So, there you have it. Perhaps I'm just engaging in a big false cause fallacy, but it seems to me that it has worked pretty darned well.**Update 2/7/16: It has been more than 2 years now since I started wearing this every day. I'm superstitious and don't want to jinx it, so I'll just say that the story I tell above, as it relates both to allergies and to lack of illness, is, so far, unchanged.

This air purification device was purchased to provide assistance at a time when smoke from California forest fires was creating poor air quality for days, weeks and months at a time--but little did we realize just how effective this seemingly small device truly is. The difference this personal air purifier makes is dramatically noticeable, even when other air filters are in use, which I find astonishing and remarkable. The AirTamer literally knocks all particulates out of the air in the immediate area, leaving no chance of any germs, airborne allergens, or particle pollution getting through at all.The portability of the AirTamer makes it possible to take it everywhere we go. One AirTamer makes a huge difference for two people, if you happen to stick close together, so the air inside your car on long trips or when dining at a restaurant feels fresh and pristine.The remarkable thing to me on a very personal level is that after 40 years of struggling with seasonal allergies, not to mention the more recent addition of also struggling with breathing when tiny airborne particulates are floating around as well, one tiny device could so completely clear the air. I realize now that if my doctors had recommended this device to me when I was first diagnosed with allergies as a teenager in high school, I would have been able to breathe easily without ever having had to get allergy shots, take allergy prescription medication, or suffer through decades of allergy suffering.Of all the air filters and air purification systems I've ever seen, this is most dramatically the best one I've had personal experience with. The only slight downside is that when wearing this device, some people may be sensitive to feeling the tingly electric pulse through the cord or near the sparking area when it pulses regularly from time to time. If this is a problem, one can simply set the device nearby with cord stretched out behind.Because of the health benefits of such life-changing nature, I'd give this device ten stars if amazon allowed it; extremely highly recommended, especially for allergy sufferers or anyone wishing to keep air clear around them during 'flu season' or when surrounded by people who are sick.

I use this for the obvious reasons in terms of viruses that float around. I also use it to help a little bit with cleaning product odors or heavy pollen. I still have to play with it a little bit to get the adjustment just right on the various types of blouses I wear. I like that you can adjust the cord according to what you are wearing and whether you have it attached to any of the material of the clothing you wear so far so good. The batteries seem to be holding out well and I already picked up some extra batteries for the time that these need replacing.I find I must be attentive to people around me in the event that anyone is wearing a heart monitor. Although it draws a little attention to yourself, it’s a good idea to ask if you’re going into a room with a few people in it if anyone has it, a pacemaker or other electrical device that is sensitive to other electrical devices most people can see it on me and are wondering what it is anyway so they notice before I do—It’s a good thing to have.One caution is that if you wear any kind of metal jewelry, you have to be sure that there’s a little bit of distance between the cord of this device and your jewelry, so that they don’t touch you’ll know right away if that happens because you’ll get teeny electric shocks That’s easy to fix when you move your stuff around a little bit. I tend to wear medals, so I have to watch this a little bit more than probably most people. It is not been a huge issue. I would rather be protected from germs, then to worry about moving my jewelry into a different spot or hanging it differently.I actually like that it uses batteries because I have to remember to put devices on chargers. Since we have been having power outages around here lately, I don’t have to worry about when I can get it charged, or if it will be charged up enough when the power goes out; there’s no issue.
