"They're incredible and the best thing is that they have this washable cloth sleeve (pre filter) that goes over the entire intake which happens to wrap all the way around. ... It does such a good job that the actual internal filter stays significantly cleaner and doesn't need to be cleaned or changed as often. ... It's a game changer."
"Blueair imo because they have washable prefilters, and pet hair and dander is large and honestly doesn't need HEPA filters to clear it out the way, say, smoke does."
"Blue air. The prefilter is washable."

"Years ago, I bought (an awesome) BlueAir HEPA air purifier from Costco and they no longer sell the replacement filters."
"BlueAir is ok but the filters are small and replace more often."

"I don’t like they have an ionizer that you can’t disable. ... Ionizers create ozone, and when ozone reacts with different molecules it creates all kinds of new compounds that can’t be predicted."

"Blue air is the best of the three, also isn’t HEPA but has a static generator which bothers some people."
"Although you'll find complaints it doesn't use a "real" HEPA filter"

lelestar 0.5This particular model is designed for a 100 sq ft room. You would probably need to run both purifiers on the highest setting all the time to cover even a small 400 sq ft studio, and that would be kinda noisy. These are not designed to clean an entire apartment, just a single room. You can put them in a single room and close the doors and windows to that room to get the best filtration possible. Just make sure you still have a little ventilation (like a ceiling vent or leaving the door cracked open a bit) if you're planning to do it for a long period of time so that you don't get too much CO2 buildup. If you are cleaning the air with the purpose of removing pollen, close your windows. If you were running them to clean viruses out of the air, then leaving the windows open would improve ventilation, so that would actually help. However, if you are running them to help with allergies or wildfire smoke, then keep the dirty air outside so they can do their job on the air that's inside. According to BlueAir's marketing, their HEPASilent filter is supposedly even better than a HEPA filter. I'm no expert but in my experience they work at least as well as HEPA filters. I like them because they're quiet, cute, and effective. I can see all the junk in the air that got trapped in the filter when it's time to change the filter out. If you want to run just one machine on a quiet setting, then look for one that is rated for the size of your apartment.
Pac_Eddy 0.5I bought this two pack. Love them. Really quiet.
quinoaseason 0.5I just bought them too! They’ve been great so far.
EagleEyeUSofA 0.4Blueair has a small one that would fit that space for $99 on Amzn or other retailers. I have next size up and so far so good and noticeable decrease in dust. I like being able to control it and monitor its cleaning via the app. Not advocating for the company other than after doing some research I settled on them and so far am happy.
I have a Blueair for small room and can really sense a difference. I like the app as well to track purity and change settings. So many options out there though.
Think_Discount2852 0.4Yes, I have two c545’s from Costco before they switched. I wanted more at the Costco price but ended up with two small BlueAir ones instead. Costco does sell the Winix filters online for various models. I just snagged a set of the filters while they were on sale.
peggy1104 0.3Again another vote for Blueair, I have the max mini for our bedroom and whilst it isn't smart so doesn't show in Home assistant I do have it linked to a window sensor so it only comes on when the bedroom window is closed, but also set to run during the night regardless. Works well and definitely helps with the dust and makes the air feel cleaner.
Wrong_Significance67 0.3I have a BlueAir mini right by him and a larger blue air right outside his room.

Love my blueair - i have 3
HTHID 0.1Another vote for BlueAir Blue Pure series, we have them in our bedrooms and living room and they are great - you will be amazed when you change the filters in a few months
motokochan 0.0Blueair works okay. It’s expensive but does work. Coway is definitely more performance for the money though.
I live in Southern California, and the filters are great for fire season to keep the air clean inside. They also help when other things are going on outside like skunks, kicked up dust, the neighbors’ smoky fire pits, or even when it’s a bad pollen day. I’ve tried various brands and I still like the Coway AirMega 200M (same as the AP-1512HH). It’s not the quietest at higher speeds, and it’s not tiny, but it moves the air and filters very well. There’s a reason it’s long been the top pick of Wirecutter. If you want some more style, the various BlueAir models, especially the Pure line are very nice and also work well. They’re a bit expensive though. If money is no object, Austin Air makes some highly regarded machines. In general, UV and ozone are gimmicks. The biggest thing to look at are the CADR ratings. Higher numbers are good, they mean the unit is delivering more filtered air quicker. Always check replacement filter prices, often a good deal on a machine means they make money on selling filters.
