| Filter | No filters to change. The E·Z Breathe® unit completely expels contaminated air. | No filters, as these unites do not eliminate mold spores or contaminated air. | Costly filters need to be cleaned and replaced frequently. |
| Water Reservoir | No water reservoir to empty. | Water reservoir must be emptied frequently and it encourages biological growth within it. | No reservoir, as purifies do nothing to combat moisture or dampness. |
| Area of Effect | One E·Z Breathe® unit controls moisture levels and air quality for up to 7000 sq. ft. (1 unit: 7 rooms) | Reduces moisture only in one room/general area. (7 units: 7 rooms) | Helps reduce particles in one room/general area. (7 units: 7 rooms) |
| Cost of Operation | Uses the same amount of electricity as 40-watt light bulb, or about $2 to $4 per month. | $10 to $30 per month for normal usage; higher for constant operation. | $5 to $15 per month for normal usage, plus up to $350 per filter replacement. |
| Effectiveness | Guaranteed to make a difference in the moisture levels in the home, effective in combating destructive dampness, and provides ventilation essential to dramatically improving quality of indoor air. | Relatively effective at combating moisture in confined areas. Can release harmful CFCs. | Some air purifiers alter the molecular composition of the air creating serious health problems and even death. “The Environmental Protection Agency does not certify air cleaning devices. |
