"It’s is SO MUCH more quiet than the s7 it ramped up the suction power from 4000 to 19000 yet I can let it clean my office room while being in a call now."
"Extremely quiet compared to our last one to the point where we can have it running while my partner is in work meetings (besides emptying water and dust bin, but that is 10 seconds of loud x 2)."
"pads that lift on carpet so you can run it while the baby naps"

"I even washed them accidentally and still worked perfectly fine afterwards."
"Been using them for about four years working out in my gym, and cycling daily (45+ minutes on a bicycle outdoors)."
"They last absolutely forever (I know 1980s models still in daily use)"

"They do a good job of removing smoke from the room."
"The thing I noticed most and love about is that I no longer have the smell of my upstairs neighbor cooking wafting in."
"The sensors are amazing. ... Yes whenever I cook or smoke they instantly kick on and work really well."

"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."
"super effective kasi tuwing nililinis ko pre filter puro buhok ng pusa."
"It does an amazing job of capturing cat fur. ... I have to wash it every two weeks due to how much fur and hair it catches."

"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!"
"My family has been breathing easier, especially during allergy season"

"the medify one sounds horrible- it has a weird high pitch and i can’t stand it even on the very lowest setting. ... i actually sent it back and they replaced it and the second one sounds the same."
"The only smaller air purifier I have is the $200 Conway in my kitchen. Its like a jet engine when on high speed. That's OK when I've burnt something. But there is no way people are running it at that noise level in general use."
"And it’s noisy as hell when I kick it up a notch."

"I got upset when I found out my 4 levoit core 300 were not hepa lol."
"Levoit is a popular brand but they came under fire in the last few years, can't remember exactly when, for lying about being HEPA rated and/or no longer can claim to be or something."
"it turned out my models weren’t “true HEPA” as advertised."

"it has ‘electrostatic’ as well as HEPA-type filtration (they claim theirs is better). I understood electrostatic was the only thing that could actually clean the air like for gasses or VOCs, not just remove particles. Looking back and re-researching, it looks like anything electrostatic will produce at least some undectectable ozone. So, well I’ll-be-damn! I wanted to not have to worry about ozone!"

"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."

"You see how it says it cleans the air in a 432 ft² room in 60 Minutes? That means it's actually rated to clean a 100 square foot room, at best, when it's on high. ... Introducing something like this into your home with have an extremely negligible impact on air pollution"
"The Winix 231 is Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers' rated for 230 square feet. In practice, it's best for an even smaller room but some air changes are better than nothing and if your main purpose is white noise, I think it would fit the bill."
"The Winix will help a lot if you're in a smaller room, like 275 sq ft max"
I have BlueAir in all my rooms. Makes a significant difference for me.
r/dubai • Air Quality in Our Buildings, Anyone using Air purifier? ->Own Levoit 400 for our main living area (1,100 sq ft apt), the smaller one in our bedroom (toddler sleeps with us). Had them prior to Covid and love them. I vacuum the filters when I can per the manual. I got my mom the blueair 311i max because she was closer to one of the “minor” fires here in LA and she loved it so much she got the mini for her bedroom along with my dad’s (they sleep in separate rooms lol). I ended up getting the mini to bring to work.
r/moderatelygranolamoms • What are the Best Air Purifier for Allergies? ->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.
r/askTO • Had an air purifier helped with the air quality? Is it worth getting one? ->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.
r/askTO • Had an air purifier helped with the air quality? Is it worth getting one? ->We are a household full of asthmatics with allergies. We have 4 BlueAir purifiers and I cannot recommend them enough.
r/workingmoms • Is it worth it to buy an Air Purifier? If so, what's the best air purifier for home in your view/experience with it? ->We run 3 in our house, one in the main living area (diy pc fan with hvac filters), and one in each bedroom (blue air brand or something, I think). Also consider plastic on leaky windows (cheap sliders).
r/saskatoon • Air purifier ->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.
r/askTO • Had an air purifier helped with the air quality? Is it worth getting one? ->There's also the Winix D360/480 series as a Home Depot exclusive, which doesn't have ionizers and has a pretty high CADR rate. I don't think there are after-market filters but Winix said they continue to manufacture filters for 10 years after so maybe you won't have problems. I'm eyeing it. Honestly my first air purifier was BlueAir and I loved it. Dead silent on the first setting (I think having a vertical fan helps), and I could run it on the high setting all day. I have birds and had no idea about the ionizer though. I've gone through one Honeywell which made my room smell like a plastic pool toy, and I'm not so happy with the return-replacement either, I ran it on turbo today and got a pretty big headache and felt like I was having trouble breathing, which sounds insane but it stopped when I turned it off. I'm almost tempted to just go get another BlueAir and remove the ionizer manually, but I also know that their CADRs are based off of ionizer on, and the larger sizes have significantly more expensive filters.
r/AirPurifiers • I’m lost ->We have a few Blue Air, 4 of them. They are expensive but worth the price for me. The app works great and the filter replacements are a breeze (filters also last). They also don’t look stupid which is nice. You can replace HVAC filters with basic MERV5 cheap ones as well. This helps the furnace and AC run better with less restrictive airflow. Big BlueAir guy.
r/BuyItForLife • Recommendation for high-end Air Purifier for 10×10×10 ft room (US, VOCs) ->A good furnace filter taped to a fan so it pulls air through it will works well. I’ve got a couple blueair units mostly because the fans are nice and quiet and they look nice so I can use them year round.
