Do any of you have any specific models in mind? The systems I've seen are quite expensive... ranging from $150-1500.

A mediocre HEPA system would be effective enough for my room

well, here is the one i bought from costco:

128.99 + tax.

i bought it cuz hepa's are supposed to be better than those gimmick sharper image ones that i own. also, this one looks easy to maintain. just pull the reusable filters out from the back and vaccum them. voila, no extra costs.

No IONIC breeze will do this. Read the comsumer report. Gave the Ionic Breeze a 0.

dont get anything that ionizes the air...the ionized air will help remove the "funk" (odors) that you have in your room, but conversely its also bad for your lungs
