Pure 121

I don’t know the size of your apartment but I have 2 BlueAir in my home. I have a Pure Blue 121 that has been running none stop for over 5 years and a new BlueAir 211i Max that also runs for 24 hours a day. Yes, they are much larger purifiers than yours but I’m they are also in large rooms on two different floors. I have severe COPD and seasonal allergies. Right now we are right in the middle of pollen season which is a killer for me. All this to say the I find these purifiers work amazingly well. I can breathe in my home without needing my pumps compared to outside. The air feels fresh and when I cook the smell dissipates quickly.

I’ve got two huge BlueAir 121 air purifiers & run them on low 24/7. Get the biggest air purifiers you can afford, put them on low. The key is surface area for the filters, you want as much as possible so you can run the filters on low QUIETLY. The BlueAir air purifiers don’t impress w/ on paper filtration specs; their magic is when run on lowest speed 24/7 where they’re incredibly quiet & effective. With all filters, filtration capability increases as air volume / speed decreases; however, you need to maintain a minimum level of air volume moves thru the filter for it to be effective. Plenty of smaller & cheaper filters w/ impressive on paper specs; however, they simply don’t perform well when set to low due to not enough air volume moved for the amount of noise produced. General rule of thumb for AHAM rated air purifiers; take the rated square footage & divide by 2 or 3 for actual useful area when set to low.

We have been using Blue Air for over a decade and have been happy with them. Have the 411, the pure fan, and our first one the 400. Had a couple fan issues over the years but customer service has been good so far.

Blue air junk? I have been using blue air for a decade and got one for each of my staff conference rooms during the COVID response - none of us got sick and we were in person for over a year. These things have been running for years daily and I’m a fan…

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.
