I’ve had two TP04 purifiers that have been great and really showed me how they work when we had the fires and the skies were completely orange, and coming into my house was like night and day difference in air quality. They ran 24/7 during that time and not once did they fail but the filters did have to be replaced earlier than usual. I still have them both and they still perform great. I would definitely recommend them.
I own a Coway Airmega, BlueAir 311 Auto, and a Dyson PureCool.
Coway is for the main living room/kitchen, BlueAir for kids rom, and Dyson for our bedroom.
Overall the Coway is my favorite. It’s a beast and has a low cost of annual maintenance. Strongly recommend.
A couple years ago I bought a Dyson that reads out the PM2.5 level. Even when the AQI is >100 my indoor air quality is good (below 25). Thus the purifier doesn’t get much use.
Maybe I got lucky and my condo is relatively air-tight? Dunno, but YMMV.
You'll want to block places the smoke is entering from if possible (a rolled up towel in front of door, covers on electrical outlets).
Dyson air purifier fans will help. I've smoked inside my place and run the dyson and it got rid of all the smell but it ran full blast and that's a bit loud. You can also try other natural air deodorizers like putting out a bowl of baking soda. Ground coffee, orange peel and apple slices are also supposed to help. I used them when I used to smoke to freshen my place along with vinegar (tho the vinegar has a strong smell) and thought it was helpful.
