I use a air fanta 3 pro for my room! it's pretty quiet too
there are a few videos on youtube about it; [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcVAa\_bUPxU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcVAa_bUPxU)
what i like most is that it can be deconstructed and transported in a bag (eg to a doctors appt)
btw i dont know if it's possible but if you're to convince your dad to get a larger purifier in shared spaces that would help too (my parent who i live with also doesnt give a s\*\*\* about masking/covid but was thankfully able to convince him for "mold and allergies and dust" in the house)
I have 3x coway mega (ap1220), coway mega 300s, blue air 7740, philips, airfanta pro. Philips is useless, others are similar and all good. Coways are perhaps my favourites. In paricuoar, Coway 300s is big, which means I can run it on a lower setting, it is quiet but still works. Airfanta is good but looks a bit rough. Blueair is very quiet on a low setting, but too expensive.
I would take the largest / with highest capacity you can buy. And check the replacement filter prices before buying, blueair in particular is expensive. I occasionally buy dupes for replacement filters, and last time I could not find any differences between the branded one and the copy on the outside. But obviously, you never know.
I would say that my experience is you want WAY more dehumidifier than you think.
I have an old leaky 800 sq foot house. Â I have two dehumidifiers that are rated for up to 10,000 sq ft in total. Â Like 80- 100 quart capacity. Â Thatâs what I needed to keep my house
But definitely get separate air purifier and dehumidifiers.
Someone suggested air Fanta, thatâs a great option. Â Or check out cleanairkits.com.
For an allergy you want to change the air in a space 5-10x an hour. So do a little research on what CADR is, find some good videos of people testing your purifier. Â You will notice a difference and probably be healthier too.
I have a levoit core 300s and it's fine but I like my air Fanta more it makes less noise and is more effective
I like that the levoit has an app though and it looks.more modern
Sorry for the stalking I was trying to find your recovery post and saw this post anyways I have the levoit core 300s and the airfanta pro 3 and the airfanta pro 3 is wider but less tall but I still prefer it over the levoit. The levoit needs to be on mode 3 to be somewhat effective and it's really noisy at that point. The airfanta pro I have at 3 (out of 6) and is way less noisy and according to the stats more effective but replacement filters are more costly.
Housefresh.com has a lot of good reviews on different type of airfilters
It's *slightly over your budget but the AirFanta 3Pro with carbon filter. High CADR (clean air delivery rate) for a great price. It's very lightweight which will help with moving it to different rooms.
I have two AirFanta 3Pros and they capture a lot of hair. I have one in my hallway and that one captures the most but I'm still surprised every two weeks at how much hair I vacuum off the one in my bedroom as well. It's not the most attractive device but it's one I recommend if people want to capture pet hair well
Wirecutter tends to repeat whatever the manufacturer says. They don't test the air purifiers in the same way House Fresh does. House Fresh is testing for 5 air changes an hour on the highest setting.
AirFanta Pro is a good option. It has certifications from China.
For the bedroom the Levoit Vital 100s would be a good option.
If you aren't super concerned about aesthetics, Clean Air Kits' Brisk Box could work for the kitchen/ living room. They're devices are very quiet. The Brisk Box is rated for 300-450 square feet
Multiple units in one home isn't overkill.
How big is your room, the one you spend the most time in?
If you're not super concerned about aesthetics and smart features, the AirFanta 3Pro has a high clean air delivery rate for the price. You could buy a number of those and put them throughout the house.
The size of the fan and the filters matter. This small device isn't going to effectively filter the air in a 1,000+ sq ft space as it's being advertised. As someone still taking COVID precautions, I'm not depending on this device as a mitigation layer. Even if I had bad allergies, it's not going to effectively clean the air compared to a Winix 5510 or AirFanta 3Pro
Unfortunately the AirFanta 3Pro is ugly but it's great for pet hair. The creator has pictures of it caked in dust from his child's classroom blackboard. The attached picture is mine with 2 weeks worth of cat hair

My AirFanta 3Pro catches a lot of cat hair. I also run a robotic vacuum every day.
If you're trying to prevent COVID, are you masking outside your home?
My favorite lightweight air purifier is the AirFanta 3Pro. There's also the Smart Air Sqair air purifier
Honestly you're probably better off with a AirFanta 3Pro. Mine get a ton of cat hair on them.
Granted one is in my hallway and my cats pass through there a decent amount.
The one in my bedroom also sees a decent amount.
I vacuum them both about every two weeks. I've gone longer but like to clean it the same as the pre-filter on another device.
It has a high clean air delivery rate and it's a very good buy for the price.
With that budget, your best bet is the AirFanta 3Pro. I have an asthmatic cat as well and have two AirFanta 3Pros. I often recommend it for cat caregivers or anyone else with a pet that sheds a lot. It picks up a ton of cat hair!

The AirFanta 3Pro would like a word. I've also heard from corsi Rosenthal box users they can capture a lot of pet hair.
It's not the most aesthetic unit but the AirFanta 3Pro is great at picking up pet hair, if you keep it on the ground. I have two cats and my AirFanta collects a good amount of hair. I vacuum the sides 2-3x a month

The 3Pro can be put in your luggage if that's what you're getting at.
Your second option is the AirFanta 4Lite. You'd have to use it close-up, within a foot of your face. It's not meant to clean the air of a whole room. It's for close range use. I'm able to fit that in my backpack
You should be fine with masking. I've attended meetings with 20+ people and I'm the only one masking. No COVID, no flu, etc.
If you want a device to ensure you can eat lunch with less risk, I'd look into the AirFanta 4Lite.
If you really want a room air purifier, depending on your budget: AirFanta 3Pro is a great pick considering its high clean air delivery rate and price for that performance. I also agree with the person who said portability is a plus if you want to move the air purifier from your office to the conference room. Clean Air Kits are more expensive but their big selling points are very quiet operation and high CADR.
Is it possible your workplace would be open to buying an air purifier for the conference room?
