Which is better for removing smells and allergens from the air? Ion generators? Ozone generators? hepa air filters? Or some machine that is a combination of the three? I want to get something like an ionic breeze but not sure what's best....?

Any recommendations?

What are the best reasonably priced HEPA air filters out there? Is it best to get one that attached to a furnace (but then its only running when the heat or AC is on) or a few smaller ones and move them room to room?
Also, I understand that it is imprtant to try and vacuum with a HEPA vacuum. Any advice on something out there that is reasonably priced (and reasonably priced filters).

For both, I want to get something that is not too cheap (ie something that actually works) but not top of the line (I am not running a hospital.. just want to increase the quality of the air we breathe at home.

I live in an apartment here and I am getting sick of all this crap from other people's cooking. It's an older building and they won't look into it.
I read HEPA is a better purifier but I don't know if it would stop smells from coming in my front door... it is shut so don't give me stupid stuff about shut your door, just too old of a building (renovation they are doing doesn't help).
Smells only hit me in the living room/dining room... about 350 sq ft I need to protect from smells.
Will a HEPA do this?

I have a HEPA air filter. It has a button on it, which turns on the optional "ionizer" feature. The system is made by Honeywell (actually a company called Kaz, which sells it under the Honeywell name.)

Any information on the helpful effects of having "negative ions" in the air?

Now that it is spring, my allergies are getting worse. Does anyone recommend a good air purifier? My biggest concern is the noise level (and of course how well it removes particles). I also do not want an ionic purifier because of the ozone, and they usually are not as effective as HEPA. I have heard of the Blueair air purifiers, but I think they are a little pricey. Are there cheaper but still quiet air purifiers around? Or do you pay what you get? If you have any, please give me some air purifier recommendations.
I have heard of ionic breeze, but I am concerned about the ozone it emits. It also does not do so well at removing particles. Will anyone please recommend a brand or model that i should look at?
