But does it actually stop allergy from dust mites?I purchased from Costco the Blueair filter and purifier. These are not cheap units, but I wanted something very good, not just a fan and filter. Also, purchasing at Costco allows me to return it for any problem if I don't like it. I've had it about 3 years now and really love it.

Pretty much this, especially if your heating system is forced air. Then you're trying to clean air that's just going to gather debris from other rooms and dump it in whatever space you're trying to filter. You're better off with a HEPA furnace/HVAC filter. Just make damn sure that you change it when you're supposed to. I neglected doing that once and the reduced air flow caused the heat exchanger to overheat and crack. That was was a $5k mistake you don't want to emulate.Also, our allergist says they are useless.
I think you should try Hepa purifier. The one specially designed for kids.Looking for the best air purifier for my kid.

Even with running ours daily for almost a year, they didn't help either of our kids but they were not true HEPA. I'm not willing to spend so much on replacement filters every X months because there has never been a consensus answer to the above question. Also, our allergist says they are useless.

Bah...it's all about catching as many small particles as you can. In most cases, it's dust (dead skincells and pollen...but can also be mold spores). Say what you want, but with the air filters I have, I can run them in my living room that gets great sun from a bay window. When my kids run through the room, they kick up a bunch of dust from our Persian rug....when the air filter is running in the corner, I can see it drawing the dust toward the intake. To be clear, it's a new rug and we vacuum it every other day...as does our cleaning lady once a week. I don't suffer from allergies like my daughter, but we can tell her allergies have been a little better since I started running those things. I paid $250 for both units I got and consider it to be a good investment for peace of mind if nothing else. I've cleaned the pre-filters twice and they have caught quite a bit of dust.Derp?
And from what I've read in reliable reviews the only thing most HEPA air-cleaners/filters actually clean out effectively is your wallet.
