Honest reviews

I bought gear while I was scared.

Some of it earned a place in the house. Some of it was an expensive way to feel less helpless. If a product is here, I used it. If it didn’t help, I say that too. I don’t need you to buy something to belong on this site.

If this is you

• I need a purifier I can live with — the AirDoctor I actually ran.
• I want a cleaner that isn’t perfume — Force of Nature, including the limits.
• I’m still vacuuming the old way — why a sealed HEPA system mattered more than the brand name.

The reviews

• AirDoctor AD3500
• Force of Nature cleaner
• Sealed HEPA vacuums (including the Kenmore I used)
• Do air purifiers actually help with mold?
• Why my first air purifier didn’t help

How I write these

Affiliate links, when they exist, go on the review itself. A score is just my shorthand after living with the thing, not a lab result. I am not a doctor, and I don’t sell a kit.
