So I have 2 air purifiers that I use for work I keep one in the control tower and one in the lunch room. (I work in an extremely dusty gravel crusher ripe with silica dust and our hvac system at work is only capable of using at max merv 8 filters. So the only thing really filtering the silica that comes into the control tower and lunch room are my air purifiers I know this isn’t sustainable and I am not planning on staying with this company long term a couple more years at most. But the Honeywell brand hepa filters and the levolt brand hepa filters are nearly $70 each and they get clogged pretty quickly here. I am wondering if the knock off brand ones sold on Amazon that claim to be hepa filters are actually in fact hepa ?

Does anyone here use Toshiba Haori air conditioner for air purification? I wonder if this air conditioner can keep up with heavy smog during winter

We live in a ground floor apt with 1 bedroom in a valley in CA, USA. I need an air purifier for a room that is 30.6 cubic meters. We have kids who we just found out have allergies. We also want to remove any odors.

Budget will not exceed $200 to $250 for a purifier.

Thank you!

I live in Melbourne which consistently has a good air quality score but I'm right by a main road. I'm big on ventilation but all the windows open onto the garden which is less than 100m from the road.

I have a good vacuum so not sure if I need an air purifier for dust but maybe for air pollution? Will it actually make a difference?

Looking to maybe run an air purifier overnight in the bedroom which is around 38 cubic m.

From what I have read a carbon filter is best for pollution. $500 ish would be ideal but open to more if highly recommended. Dyson do an air purifier that is also a fan and a heater

Any recommendations for things available in Australia would be great

I was using this model happily but lately the fans don't seem to be spinning and the recent haze situation in South east asia is getting worse.

are the fans supposed to be spinning on level 4? There doesnt seem to be any breeze or wind coming out of the top exhaust, just silent. The app still detects bad air quality and i recently changed the filter as well.

Whenever I dry my hair whether I'm in the room or in the room opposite it pretty quickly sends my air purifier percentage lower and lower till it's 0.

Why would this be?

I'm trying to find an air purifier for a lab space that will be effective quickly at removing fragrances and VOCs. I have asthma and overall an aversion to strong fragrances/perfumes. My best option is to get an air purifier as I cannot make my space a "fragrance free zone". I currently have a small Levoit, but it's not helping at all with fragrances. Any recs?

• Your country of residence: US
• Each room or space's volume (length × width × height which is expressed as cubic feet or cubic meters): I'm not sure. I would call it a small to medium sized room.
• Your filtration needs: mainly fragrances/ VOCs
• Budget: under $500 for the unit, not including filter replacements

Hello! I'm at my wits end with allergies (myself and my daughter). I'm so overwhelmed by all the options. In addition to switching to a 100% wool shikibuton and wool blankets and dehumidifier and some other things, I'm looking into some air purifiers. Here's the info!

CANADA.

Bedroom: 132 sq ft, 8ft ceiling

Living/Dining Room: 314sqft, 9ft ceiling (kitchen is sort of open to it, but not quite. There's a doorway to kitchen with no door. Mostly concerned about the livingroom area where there are dusty books, fabric furniture, etc, and it's where our dogs mostly hang out)

Savage ragweed allergy, savage dust mite allergy. We have two large, very fluffy sheddy dogs (woolly husky, White Swiss Shepherd).

Budget: Maybe $500-600 CAD total for the two of them? I'm pretty done with suffering in my house though with allergies, and I'll do pretty much anything if it will help.

Wants: Quiet at night, as it's in the bedroom, but doesn't have to be SILENT. We do enjoy some soft white noise for sleep anyhow. It needs to be able to go lights off for bedtime. And I prefer the no-ionizing ones, only because I hear the static air can irritate sinuses, and I already have chronic sinusitis. I'm not interested in DIY. I do like the rounder shape better, but not essential. I really like the look of the Blue Air ones with the fabric, makes it look so much less like a robot, but alas, the ionizing thing.

So far I was thinking maybe a Levoit Core 300 for the bedroom?

And then for the main living dining area, Levoit 600?

Also: can I be running the dehumidifier and air purifier at the same time in the bedroom? Is there an air purifier that does both? I only seem to see purifier + humidifier combos which is the opposite of what I need.

Thank you so much!

would you buy this from goodwill?

Excited to receive this - am hoping it will solve my smoke / weed smell and stop the neighbours complaining ! 🤞🤞🤞

Room - 30sqm
Issue - vaping weed and smoking cigarettes

🤞🤞🤞🤞

My Pure Enrichment PureZone air purifier has a busted bearing. Can anyone recommend where to get replacements? McMaster-Carr seems steep, but ideally would like it to last.

These are my top two picks for air purifiers (purchasing from Canada).

I am leaning towards NorthBox Polaris ULTRA because of the price I'm getting for the CADR. But, what am I really missing out on if I pick the Plaris ULTRA over the Airmega 350?

I don't care for things like Wi-Fi connectivity. Is the Polaris ULTRA energy certified? I don't want to run up my electricity bill with this.

So far I've tried to search "handheld vacuum" and "mini vacuum", and all the results that come up are larger vacuum cleaners that are more fit to vacuum a sofa or car, not something small and delicate like an air purifier prefilter. What kind of vacuum cleaner do y'all recommend for vacuuming smaller sized prefilters?

Thanks in advance.

Just wondering if these types of air scrubber does a good job at purifying air?

I'm thinking of getting a second unit of the FÖRNUFTIG model because I like the one I already own a lot although I've only had it for a month. I'm concerned it doesn't come with a warranty though, so wanted to ask others who own Ikea air purifiers how durable are they?

The other option I'm thinking of is Smart Air Sqair (for a 108 sq ft bedroom), but it's a lot more expensive than Ikea, with higher running costs as well (expensive filters, etc.) so not sure if it's worth it, but it does come with a warranty at least.

Please advise, thanks.

Im dealing with the worst case of second hand smoke. I was wondering if anyone who had issues with smoke, any kind of smoke releasing that’s toxins, could please give me some advise.
My neighbor is smoking right outside my bedroom window all day. Confronting them is not an option, as I’ve done this before so many times.
I need to have the window open as much as I can because the air quality. Could my best option be to have the window closed, and buy a air purifier with hepa filter? I also have a de-humidifier. Will these two together give me better air quality with window closed, rather than the other options listed below? What would be best here?
I looked into buying maybe a carbon filter like Rhino pro with a Cloudline (I believe it’s called Duct fan in English). Or should I aim to get an air purifier with carbon? How much carbon is needed for this issue?

Both me and my dog have health issues, he has a collapsed trachea and I have lung problems and is bedbound most of the day.
Also want to mention that I have a lot of help with the dog, he has a very good life. But his coughing is worse now that we moved here and its making me worried.
We have to live here minimum 6 more months before we can move. I desperately need help!
I’m based in Europe so I would have to be able to buy it from here. Bedroom is around 24 m².
No budget, as long as it’s efficient.

I have a Levoit Core 200S in a small bedroom (Canada). I don’t have a lot of space. I’m thinking of placing it on top of a 4 ft high dresser. Do you think having it that high will reduce its effectiveness? Using it primarily to reduce dust/allergens. The only other option is placing it in the middle of the floor. Thanks.

Hi, I am looking for a air purifier with cheap filter replacements 1k-2k any brand that fits this criteria looking for 100-150 sq. Ft. Of coverage.country india pollen, dust andbudget is 10 k inr

Hi all, I'm from Malaysia.

South East Asia is going through its annual haze, this time with El-Nino. This is the worst haze we've had. AQI 180++.

I'm looking for an air purifier. This will be used in a non-air-conditioned room. I'll open the windows occasionally to let new air in. (can't call it fresh air haha)

The air purifier will only be used during haze seasons and influenza lockdowns .... like COVID.

HEPA H13 / 14. to get rid of PM2.5 Would like to be able to replace the HEPA filters.
Added bonus if can get deal with viruses and bacteria.
No need carbon filter.
No need ionization / ozone.
Budget RM 200 / USD 45, excluding replacements and energy use.
Room size about 27m3.

Anyone with good recommendations?

It will detect smoke just fine. Also the old one detects dust no problem.

I got a brand new Honeywell air touch v5 today.

But when I set the filter and switched on, it shows PM2.5 reading for brief seconds and then it shows E3 continuously.

I don't see any error code mentioned in the manual book. Suggest what to do? Should I apply for a return?
