The Blueair Blue Pure 311i+ Max is the best bang for the buck that I've seen.
Blueair Blue Pure 311i+ Max. Techgearlab.com top choice, also top rated by Consumer Reports.
Powered up my new Blue Pure 311i+ Max w/smoke filter this weekend and so far so good!
I went with the Blue air 311i for my dust allergy
We just got a Blueair 311i MAX last week! So far it seems good
We use the Blueair 311i max and 411i max, you can order a slightly more expensive smokeblock filter for them specifically made to filter out the particles in wildfire smoke. These units will also give you a readout on your phone to monitor the air quality in your home.
I got an Amazon Smart Air Quality Monitor and put it on my A1 mini z axis. I have a Blueair 311i max with a Smoke Block filter (it’s their replacement filter with the highest level of carbon) next to it. When the monitor detects VOCs it will alert me and its light will turn red. I can turn the Blueair up to level 2 or 3 and the monitor will return to yellow or green (moderate or good). So, yes it will help, but you need carbon in the filter to absorb the VOCs from what I understand.
It helps a lot. I bought it due to smoke but I’m happy to get rid of cooking and dog smells. I have one from Blueair.
We love our blueair also. Got a dog a month ago and happy to hear from guests our house doesn’t have a dog smell.
