I have four BlueAir units. I bought the first one in 2020, and they haven't stopped working a single day since. I live in Jakarta, and I have plenty of proof to verify their quality. Mine are ProL, ProM, Classic 402, and BluePure. I like to keep them oversized so I can keep them running at the lowest possible speed. I don't have much experience with other brands, but I think BlueAir units with quality certifications are a good buy. I have allergies and asthma.
I also have a couple of BlueAir and the scheduling feature for smart purifiers is very nice to have. I have it set to run on the lowest fan setting all the time which is so quiet it's undetectable, and ramp it up for a few hours in the afternoon right before we get home from work.
Multi level approach works well.
- Decent filter you change more regularly for your HVAC (agree with others that MERV shouldn't be too high)
- Clean floors, if you have carpet get a deep carpet cleaning annually
- Room air filters. I've had luck with Blue Air. Have one jig one for living room and some small ones for the bedrooms.
- Have you tried using regular saline rinses for your nose? I use the powder saline mixes with the plastic applicator from NeilMed, but there are others out there. While my allergies are pretty mild, I haven't needed to take any allergy medicine at all since using these.
I bought the shark never change as my first purifier just recently and I feel the difference with my allergies. The 5 year filter change really attracted me but after reading here a little more I might need to change it more frequently.
I also tried the blue air for my office but didn't like it, I didn't feel any difference and it was noisy, I returned it and got the smaller shark never change .
