Has anyone tried an Air Purifier?
I have bad allergies to dust and i hear these devices can help clear a room. Do they work at all?

I've always been in favour of opening windows and doors and letting fresh air in. I don't suffer from any allergies that I know of, so I'm not much help in that respect.
How bad is your allergy? Do you find floorboards or carpets more of a problem?

I've not used one myself (considered it though) but I do know that although they can help in one space, because you have to keep it "sealed" (as with air conditioning) the effect can be minimal if you're in an out of a room. It also depends upon what causes the problem - is it dust or is it other airborne particles. If it's dust, then keeping the air humid and vacuuming are supposed to be some of the best solutions.

No matter how much they're hoovered, there's always going to be dust mites lurking. I prefer wood and tile floors.

I have wooden floors. The reduction is dust is really good and you really notice how often you need to hoover. I don't mind that, but makes you realise how filthy carpets are. Especially in bathrooms. ergh.
