"Alan Lent posted information relative to his use of a Hamilton Beach HEPA
room air filter.
I'd like to see responses from Clayarters who have purchased and are using
other units/brands of air/dust filters and their evaluation of same."

... I bought Hunter's "HEPAtech 250" model 30250. I have not had it long
enough to give you a good evalution, but am certainly happy with it so far.
My studio in the house, where I throw, build and measure glaze materials, is
10 by 13 and this model is designed for a larger area so I can run it on low
and it seems to do a good job. After reading lots about the various models
I decided it was important to choose a model designed for a larger area, so
that it can filter well when operated on low (this model is quit quiet on
low).
