"Last year there were wildfires nearby and the airmega kicked itself into high gear (I keep it on auto), so I do really trust that it’s actually doing something."


"We’ve also had terrible Smokey days from the Canadian wildfires in my area and when I last replaced my filter, it was almost black so it was working hard!"

"I ended up getting an expensive Austin air purifier appropriate for medical use because all the cheaper brands i looked at intentionally or accidentally produce ozone, which is not healthy to breathe."


"Don't buy an electrostatic/ionizer type "purifier" as it creates O³ (ozone) - which is hazardous (and is also a component of smog)."

"The fan that circulates the air is so ridiculous it sounds like an airplane is idling inside my house, and it literally changes the air pressure in my kitchen and hurts my ears"


"The biggest issue is the noise it makes, I move a lot from side to back and vice versa during the night. The noise sounds like balloons rubbing against each other. I've tried wrapping it in a blanket, which helps a bit but still makes a lot of noice."

Austin Air is the only company I trust. Their purifiers have been used in studies conducted by Johns Hopkins and Cincinnati Pediatrics Hospital (the 2 notable) which is a testimony to their effectiveness. AustinAir products are amongst the best of the best. With the title of being the best comes with the price tag. These are the most expensive air purifiers I have ever come across; but it is 'American Made' and their filters have a 5 year warranty. But it is absolutely not for one looking for budget friendly or anything related to cost friendly. All that being said-- they are a top tier, studied in highly regarded medical institutions as proven and effective air purifiers, look sleek with their box frame on wheels, 3 simple settings. It's what I use for my parents and grandparents(and myself)- can't put a price tag on good health and I know everyone sleeps better with cleaner air. I've gotten them for multiple family members and some have even bought one for their office at work! If you are looking for elite products, search no more, but as I mentioned a few times it is costly. In my opinion, worth every penny. P.S. they have a model for animal owners who deal with shedding as you mentioned. I want to say all of their models contain the military grade HEPA filters in their 6 layer defense, but perhaps the type of filters differs per model so definitely double check whats inside! If you are interested link is below. [https://austinair.com/](https://austinair.com/) \-- My workplace doesn't allow me to bring my personal purifier and has 'Levoit 300 Core' in nearly every room. I believe they are a 6 month(we are constantly replacing ours, at the 5month mark). life filter and I do believe they work quite well. Never any foul odors on our floor or even the kitchen and eating area. Heres the link for what we use where I work and they are surprisingly budget friendly, but still include a quite powerful filter. Link for that is below: [https://levoit.com/products/core300-air-purifier](https://levoit.com/products/core300-air-purifier) So I do think there are alternatives to the elite Austin Air I went with for my home and family. Good luck in your search!

I personally use Austin Air. I like the chunk filters they use that last a very long time. Think like 5 years between replacements. I also have a 5 inch thick HVAC filter that I run MERV 13 filters on. The pressure drop on a 5 inch filter is minimal as long as you replace them every 6 months to a year.

I have a couple of models: Immunity Machine, Healthmate Plus, bedroom machine. There have been some reviews stating that Austins are slower at clearing a room of particulates. My main concern is VOCs and since I run 3-4 filters in each room that isn't a concern for me. Am now testing the immunity machine. Seems to do a much better job with VOCs, although final results will take a while. What is your concern with IQAair?

According to Consumer Reports (subscription required): Only 2 out of 7 Winix models rated good to fair, the rest poor Only 1 Coway model rated good. Rest poor to unacceptable. 1512 poor.

IQAir and Austin Air are the go-to “buy it for life” purifiers. They really have long-lasting filters and proven performance on my end

Austin Air is what I use in my home now. I own a. Filtration business, and I've tried about 9 different types in my own home over the past 3 years - this is far and away my favorite. The second best would be the BlueAir systems.

Austin air. You won’t find a better air purifier. They make surgical room purifiers. This is their consumer versions. Even removes Covid from the air.
