I am trying to decide what machine type be best for a low to medium astma person and also another person that is allergy to grass after it cut.
Is a Hepa Filter Air Purifier the best one to get or a Ionizer.
I was planning on getting a Hamilton Beach 04491 True-Air Tower Air Purifier or the Hamilton Beach Air Ionic just needed to know which one be the best. The person is a 5 year old.

You do not want an ionizer or anything which generates ozone. Ozone is a well known irritant and is especially bad for asthmatics. A good HEPA-standard air purifier will serve you well.
Ionizers have horrid reviews so far as actually removing particulate matter from the air.
Here’s an EPA article, but you can also look up the Consumer Reports review at your local library.

Then you do your own research and read up on reviews of the various products out there.
Hope this helps.
