Blueair - Sense+

Just never buy from blue air directly. They won’t help up if a package is lost. I’ve used a few other smart purifiers. The Dyson ones suck at dust and the smart part works with Alexa and google home only and it’s very buggy. It needs to be reconnected often. Just got a lg 360 and it’s good other than the wifi module in the unit. It loses connection frequently and also is limited to their app. It briefly worked in Alexa and google home but often non responsive. It does have built in air quality sensor though. We also had a blue air sense model several years ago. That was one of their first smart models. It had to get WiFi reset about once a year and didn’t support a lot of integrations. Eventually the WiFi module failed on it. We have business grade wifi (Cisco Meraki mr56 x 2 APs). so it’s not like budget consumer WiFi routers.

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!!!

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).

I have a few Levoit the same size as this one. I don’t really care for them compared to the Winix and Blue Air ones I have.

Love mine too. We got 3 and they’re holding up better than the Blue Air’s I got.

I have terrible allergies and use Blue Air on every level. Works amazing.

You say costs don't matter, but what does that mean? There are devices for thousands of dollars out there, and you'd need multiple in a home. My general suggestion is to find a balance between *total cost* (initial, plus ongoing filters, plus electricity) so you can maximize the benefit and not feel pinched. Wirecutter previously did some studies on total costs - you can try to find them online, but it's been some years. If you really have no cost, just get the largest air purifier you can fit for each room and run it at the highest speed. Your home may feel like a wind tunnel, and that means it's working. For most people, Blue Air is a good balance in these various aspects. They are affordable up front, filters from the OEM aren't too bad (and generics are available on Amazon), and they have an outer washable filter (so you don't waste the expensive inner one on say, pet hair, etc.). If it were me, I'd get a large one for the room I sleep in, and at least one or two others. Ignore any automatic sensor based setting they offer. At night, or when you're in the room, you want it on the highest setting possible, and during the day, turn it down just one notch. You want the air flow to circulate and air to essentially be "scrubbed" by the filters. Remember this is only a secondary or tertiary method of cleaning in terms of priorities. Your best bang for your buck is washing your bedding weekly (including the comforter) in unscented detergent, vacuuming or sweeping, and having good airflow in your home to prevent dust and mold build up (leave bathroom and closet doors open). Use your A/C generously to keep humidity levels down in the humid months and for the sake of your sinuses, use a humidifier in the dry cold winter months if your climate has them.

BluAir (Swedish) is what we used in the middle east.

I have a Blue Air and it works great. It definitely cut down on the dust in our bedroom. My kids have the Levoit purifiers in their college apartments. They must work because one daughter just asked if she could order some new filters because hers is dirty. The other said that something smells awful in the main room (that she shares with roommates), but she can’t smell anything in her room.

We have multiple Blue Air and a Coway. Happy with all of them. Frequently available on sale.
