Do have the Coway 250 as an option? I got one for $250 open box or refurbished on Amazon. It’s amazing. The sound it makes is very pleasant and it’s easy to clean, and aesthetic. The Coway or 240 is also a good choice and comes in white. The Winix 5500-2 or C535/C545 is also a solid choice and a bit more affordable. I believe Costco has good deals on the C545. Lastly, you could check local marketplaces. I got some Winix, and Blue Air purifiers (the 203 slim, 403, and 503) for a great price.
The Classic Blueair models with carbon filters work fabulously, yet I have only seen them priced as low as $300 when on clearance. You can still easily get filters for clearance models, though.
Made this small flowchart for a friend who kept sneezing through spring but wouldn’t commit to buying an air purifier Step 1: Identify the enemy Is it pollen? Dust? Pet dander? The ghost of springtime past? Yes, yes, and probably yes. Step 2: Must have criteria for air purifier \- can it actually trap allergens? \- won’t sound like a jet engine in baby’s room? \- easy on maintenance? \- doesn’t cost the soul of your firstborn? (ironic but important) Step 3: I went down the rabbit hole Compared Coway vs Levoit vs Dyson vs Honeywell vs one that looked like a spaceship BUT... nothing could compare to [blueair air purifier](https://rantsreviews.com/dp-B073WJL99W) \- Covers big spaces (so your nursery + more = chill) \- HEPASilent tech is real — gets dust, mold, pollen, pet funk, all of it \- Washable pre filter = less guilt about killing the planet \- Doesn’t wheeze like a dying robot at 2am \- Design lowkey slaps too Step 4: Baby sleeps better. You sneeze less. Partner doesn’t threaten to move to the forest. Life improves. You win!!!
I have BlueAir in all my rooms. Makes a significant difference for me.
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.
Seconding Blueair! We have a Levoit and a Blueair; while I have nothing bad to say about the Levoit, I personally prefer the Blueair (granted, it was about twice as expensive). We've got two medium-sized dogs, and - aside from the clumps of dog hair under the baseboards - you wouldn't know that we had any pets!
I love my blueair. It's highly rated for the price, and has a cloth sleeve you wrap around the outside and toss in the wash that prefilters out the husky fluff. If your pup is smelly it's probably oily, and needs either more roll in leaves and dirt time or more frequent bathing. A simple rub with a damp cloth frequently, like daily if you're not using soap, will work wonders.
I’ve been using blueair purifier. I have 5 of them a few I’ve owned for over 4 years and I love them.
Sorry, what "air quality problems"? Can't say we've noticed any, with our 3 air purifiers running 24/7 in a one-bedroom apartment... 😉 (Both of us have pollen allergies and one of us has asthma.) That should answer your question. Seriously, buy an air purifier. Once you feel the difference you'll probably end up getting a few more. We've got two of the medium Coway models (Airmega AP-1512HH or 200M) and a smaller BlueAir. They also help with smells -- bathroom, pet, or cooking. Highly recommend the Coways because they: * Are whisper-quiet on all but the highest setting, and can auto-adjust (though we usually leave them on medium because they get loud if they kick into high). * Move a lot of air for their size * Have filters that last way longer than they're rated for (as long as you clean the prefilter) * You can turn the main light on the purifier off for use in a bedroom at night Tip: it's better to get several medium air purifiers and put one in each room or area rather than getting just one big one.
