Related: About this forumBlueair air purifiers anyone?
For those interested, blueair.com has their Classic 605 on sale for $332 (regular $830). It's top-rated by Consumer Reports.
Still a lot of money for basically a fan with some filters, but ~$500 discount is nothing to sneeze at.

can't buy local it might be like printer cartridges. Inexpensive unit but expensive filters. Looks like a neat unit...

Replacement filters aren't cheap, although it does appear there are non-OEM filters that are slightly cheaper.
Kinda like buying a printer; the printer is inexpensive but they get you on the replacement ink prices.
