Is there anyplace in Korea where I can buy a good air filter for an 11' X 11' apartment?

Back in the US they're easy to find at places like Eco-Quest or Sharper Image. But what about over here?

I'm especially interested in something that'll filter out any dust that might be in the air inside my apartment.

Regards,
Art

Here we go again, another where can I buy, toothpaste, kimchi, soju thread.

Pay very close attention to these instructions.
1. Leave apartment
2. Go to the nearest large supermarket, department store or electrical store.
3. In the store go to the electrical department (that's the department that sells stuff that needs electricity)
4. In the electrical department walk around a bit and you'll find your air filter machines.

Best prices are online or at Yongsan.

We have 2 air filters. The ones that are nothing but a full ionizer are actually unhealthy due to excessive ozone emissions.

I recommend this Hanil model, which is cheap, works very well, deals with a decent volume of air. I've had this model for 3 years now, and it's been excellent. There's no need to spend extra on a model that is automatic, IMHO.

...and has inexpensive filter refills through www.oclaire.co.kr




If you really one an ion model, you can find them here by clicking on the third square photo in the top quarter:

Hi-mart, Homeplus, E-mart, etc near the home appliances and rice cooker section. Gmarket or Enuri portals if you`re savvy enough.
