[SOLVED] Air Purifier Near Desktop Computer - Is It Safe??

[EsmaFingerpin]

I recently bought the - Honeywell QuietClean Tower Air Purifier With Permanent Washable Filters, HFD-110

I was wondering Is it safe to be sort of near a Desktop Computer and TV??

It is at currently 48 Inches away from the computer tower and 65 Inches away from my TV

I could move it more near the door I’ve had it on since Sunday from High to Medium setting when I'm awake

to Low when I'm asleep until now of where it is but I just wanted to make sure it’s safe there.

Enjoy the benefits of cleaner air without the expensive replacement filter costs. The QuietClean Air Purifier captures 99% of ultrafine airborne particles such as smoke, dust, pollen, pet dander and mold spores from the air that passes through the filters. It's easy to maintain; the permanent iFD filter and the foam pre-filter rinse clean in water. There are 3 air cleaning levels and a 4, 8, or 12 hour auto shutoff timer. Effective for medium to large sized rooms, and Energy Star qualified.

• This Air Purifier has been AHAM certified for use in rooms up to 124 square feet
• The CADR indicates the volume of filtered air delivered by an air cleaner. The higher the tobacco smoke, pollen and dust numbers, the faster the unit filters the air.
• Tobacco Smoke: 80
• Dust: 69
• Pollen: 88
• Color: Black
• Uses pre-filter: CZF-2179
• 5 year warranty
• Product Size (LxWxH): 12.01 x 10.47 x 29.29

My Eye Glasses used to be filled with dust 1 hour after cleaning them sitting in my bedroom with them now 6+ hours later there is maybe a little bit of dust on them not much

The Air Purifier used to make a whole lot of noise before too it still does but not as noticeable as when I first turned it on.

Also if you look at picture the one with yellow sticker on it is the Air Purifier the one with the pill bottle on top of it is my Computer tower so you can see how much electronics are in my room

Perfectly safe near PC or TV. It's just an air-purifier after all.
Nevertheless, it was sensible to ask as with anything you're not sure about.
That's preferrable to using something you shouldn't have used, then asking if it's safe the day after.

Maybe I noticed only today while watching Netflix that the picture was getting blurry and thought it was my Air Purifier doing it

But then I forgot it was a Netflix Issue and the release of them fixing it hasn't been put into Windows 10 yet so 😛

Question: Aren't Air Purifier's supposed to make a computer less dusty on the inside or would I need to move it closer for that?

I'm still seeing little dust inside my tower almost 2 weeks after I bought it as I bought it on April.17th.

I do notice my eye glasses having no dust or very little dust on them hours after cleaning them so I know the Air Purifier is working.

I seriously doubt your air purifier can remove all the dust particles from the entire room. To do that you would need a clean room like they use for data recovery.

The rest of the job is your system case dust filters etc. If your system has a negative pressure it will have more dust inside compared to a positive pressure.

The Desktop has Filter's on the top of case like -

Those are the two only places that it has those.

There is 2 Fan's at the front, 1 at the side that you can unscrew and pull off easily, and 1 at the back where everything plugs in so a total of 3 that run ...... the one at the top doesn't run it used to though.
