Full disclosure: I know the owner of this company personally (he is my dad).

I have used the portable one of these - it's great. Years ago I moved into a new place that just stunk of chinese food, put this in for a day or two and it was gone. They obviously won't remove the source of the smell (it won't kick your neighbours out), but does a great job of removing odours from smoke, animals, food, VOCs, as well as killing airborne bacteria, etc. I will be putting in an in-duct one when I get my own home.

That's like 2 month worth of rent!! I'm only here 'till June. Perhaps I'll find one a little more befitting a person a lower budget.

Reason #254 that Boulder IS a good place to live - DAMN CHEAP rent.

(I've never been to Boulder, so don't know what the other 253 reasons might be).

Many air cleaners do a really poor job. Consumer reports did some testing a while ago, you might check your local library for issues. I seem to remember they found that the ones by the sharper image were really poor.

I had a HEPA filter that I picked up from Sears on sale or closeout cheap a few years ago when in a similar situation. Seemed to work pretty well.

Move!

(and don't forget to tell the management).

I wouldn't get an air purifier. It actually makes air more "dirty" under certain circumstances. More hazards than by the residual smoke.

There has been a big fuss about the problems with air-purifiers recently.

I wouldn't use one. If you absolutely have to, passive filtration is the way to go.
