Wasn't sure where to post this, so here goes...
At a recent local home show, my wife and I stopped at a booth that deals in these Rainbow Air Filtration/Vacuum System devices. It's really a vacuum cleaner, but they tend to promote it more as a health product, leaning more to its strength as an air purifier. It's a water-based system, where the high-speed "hurricane" type motor draws in and traps airbone particulates in the water (bottom lexan container). It has a Hepa filter, but no bags or filters that have to be changed. It's promoted as serving 10 functions, the most notable being an air purifier (draws airborne dust into water), air sanitizer, vaporizer, aromatherapy, wet and dry vacuum, humidifier, etc.
As my log house has electric baseboard heating, I don't get enough air flow (particularly in winter) and more dust accumulation than I prefer. I'd also been thinking about humidity issues with respect to my guitars (although I keep them in their cases because of humidy issues). Since I'd been wanting to look into buying something to deal with all this, when a sales rep followed-up with us after the home show, we decided to have him over to our house. This was last evening. Although the sales pitch is kind of longwinded and pushy, this product seems pretty good -- albeit quite expensive, about $2K. I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience with these units -- good, bad or otherwise. Anyone know of any comparable, but cheaper units (the company claims they're the best/only one of its kind, but I kinda doubt that. Here's links to the product.

Thanks.
