i know there was a post about this a few months back
but i can't find it.

i'm looking for a air purifier for my measely little apartment.

i'm a bit sensitive to the wonderfully polluted air here around
Seoul.

someone mentioned one that worked wonders for them.

if you know of a good, reliable brand here, please share.

i used a Ionic Breeze back in North America.

i saw one here, but it looked like a suped up humdifier.

thanks *cough* much *hack*

I'm renting one from Home Plus for around 20,000 won/month (it's a one year rental...probably a penalty if you cancel before then). The brand is Woongjin. It uses a hepa filter. Once a week I pull off the front and clean off the inside filter (takes a minute to do) and every two months, someone comes from the store the change a different filter. The service is included in the rental price. Some places charge a deposit but Home Plus doesn't. I don't know what it costs to buy one. I'm really happy with mine....at least at home I can breathe clean air.

All that foul air helps to build up your immunity. Smoking is even better.
