3. My Computer Monitor, Keyboard, Tower, Mouse...
I'm thinking a better question would be "What isn't?"

14. I'd give it about a 7
It visually captures the smoke but I can still see some escaping even with fresh batteries and filter. There are charcoal filters that need changing..runs on 2-D batteries.
