DME Featured Products: There's Something in the Air... or is there?

We all like being comfortable, and we will go to great lengths get that way. I like to carry a space heater around with me as I move from room to room in my house. It's cheaper than running the heater. My grandmother used to carry a small pillow with her anywhere she went to prop up behind her back. Someone out there is becoming a $gozillionair because they invented the Snuggie. A product designed for the sole purpose of keeping the wearer comfortable. Just a hint, America, don't be fooled. Take your bath robe and turn it around backwards. My point is that we all use products to modify our environment in such a way as to make us more comfortable or healthy. Today's featured products can be used to modify the very air you breath in some very beneficial ways.

PUT SOMETHING IN THE AIR
Fisher & Paykel has developed the Heated Humidifier with Ambient Tracking. The product has become the new standard in CPAP therapy. The heated humidity system increases comfort and patient compliance over traditional cool humidity systems. But, what's all this about ambient tracking. I'll be honest, I really wanted this humidifier to have night vision capabilities that could track bad guys at night by their body heat. Then I could run Ops for Jack Bauer and be like "You've got three suspects in the north west corridor and they're breathing comfortably!" Well it turns out that "Ambient Tracking" is just a fancy way of saying it has a thermometer on it. The unit reads the temperature of the room and modifies the temperature of the water vapor to minimize condensation and maximize humidity. Also the unit features a DC-AC inverter so it can be used in a truck cab or camper. Which is pretty cool I guess. You can always shove the humidifier against the wall and yell at it "What's the temperature of the room?!... TELL ME!!!"

TAKING STUFF OUT OF THE AIR
Maybe humidity isn't your thing. Maybe you have to wear shorts just to watch a nature show about the rain forest. Maybe you don't like 24. Sometimes we feel much more comfortable knowing that the air we are breathing is free of pollutants, dust, and allergens. The Hunter HEPAtech Air Purification System offers the highest level of air filtration. Running the Hunter will completely cycle the air of a 12' x 12' room every 10 minutes and it will remove 99.9% of particles in the air down to the size of .1 microns... ok, now be honest. You read ".1 micron" and thought "ooh .1 micron"... you have no idea how big a micron is do you? What if .1 micron was the size of a small dog? Why would you buy an air filter that could only filter objects as big as a small dog? That's absurd! You could do that yourself. You don't need an air filter to remove small dogs from your air. It's unlikely that a consumer grade unit even has the suction power to pick up a small dog. See this is why you need to do your homework when buying stuff online. Luckily, you have me. Let me educate you. One micron is 0.000001 meters. One millimeter is 1000 microns across. So .1 micron (the filter limit of the Hunter) is 1 ten thousandth of a millimeter. It's very very small. The hunter is a very good air filter. It has a 3 speed fan and features drop-in replaceable charcoal filters to freshen the air while it cleans it.
