GermGuardian - AC4825E

GermGuardian and Molekule. We’re in 1800 sq feet and I have four GermGuardians running. One in each of the rooms we hang in the most.

I have two in my house and have been very happy with them.. In fact I bought all my loved ones a unit for Christmas.. https://www.google.com/gasearch?q=germguardian%20air%20purifier&tbm=&source=sh/x/gs/m2/5#vhid=vt=16/prds=catalogid:15564610098646917033,gpcid:13812092402174515617,headlineOfferDocid:7370662997526647465,imageDocid:1624904294490594192,mid:576462225137859252,mno:3,pvo:3,pvt:hg,query:Z2VybWd1YXJkaWFuIGFpciBwdXJpZmllcg,rds:UENfMTM4MTIwOTI0MDIxNzQ1MTU2MTd8UFJPRF9QQ18xMzgxMjA5MjQwMjE3NDUxNTYxNw,sori:0/vs=UG9wdWxhciBwcm9kdWN0cw,0,27&vssid=uvpv-713&piu=ps:86

You can get replacement filters on some GermGuardian models that do.

I’ve been using this one from Amazon for years and it’s held up really well!! It’s also on sale right now 👏 [Germ Guardian Hepa Air Purifier](https://a.co/d/cJ7wOTJ)

Yes have same one and been running 24/7 for over 15 years loveee it. Just bought the larger 28 inch model wish would have years ago! You can see it pull smoke across room- this brand has never let me down!  Love how they have four types of filters too!  Regular, smoke, pet, and toxin options.

I use this one, under 100$, lots of very good review, the authentic HEPA filter are around 15$ I think, works very very well, you will need to change the filter every 2 weeks or 1 months with mold tho, because this shit will start growing on the filter very fast, it's saving my life so far, I literally ditched my 400$ air purifier for this one lol (cheaper to change filter regularly) GermGuardian Air Purifier with HEPA 13 Filter, Removes 99.97% of Pollutants, Covers Large Room up to 743 Sq. Foot Room in 1 Hr, UV-C Light Helps Reduce Germs, Zero Ozone Verified, 22", Gray, AC4825E https://a.co/d/538vJDG

Oh yes air purifiers are a must with Greys. We have the Winix 5300-2 and use it on the 2nd highest setting 24/7 (Plasmawave turned OFF) in the main living area. In her bedroom we have a smaller Germguardian "AC4825CA 4-in-1 Air Purifier with True HEPA UV-C" and use it on the lowest setting overnight (UV-C turned OFF). I vacuum the filters weekly and replace the carbon filter monthly and HEPA every 3-6 months depending on how it's looking. I also have a plant stand with some bird-safe houseplants near her large cage as they help with air quality too. I've been for formal allergy testing 3 times over ~25 years and they've always told me I have a feather allergy (among many others). I haven't had any noticeable ill effects, possibly in part to the air purifiers and keeping floors and surfaces clean.

I gotta be honest… I hate Levoit air purifiers. I don’t think the design is a flaw. The holes are at the bottom so all of the air that gets purified is from the floor. It tends to suck up dust bunnies and block the vents. A tower air purifier is better, IMO. GermGuardian is great for a room. The filter mostly requires a carbon filter change, and it’s really cheap/easy. A 6 pack is probably $20 or less on Amazon. I replace every 4-6 months. I do a full filter change every two years with occasional vacuuming

I have had a GermGuardian Air PurifierGermGuardian Air Purifier for over 10 years now, it is just now asking to replace the UV light bulb. I recommended and now my whole family has one and all are happy; everyone is approaching the 10 yr mark of ownership so I can say the brand is good and so far BIFL. Mine is particular is the GermGuardian ac4825e.

Firstly, pandemic never ended. People just stopped caring about us "disposable people" (the elderly and disabled) dying 🤷 Having multiple air purifiers around the house would be useful to improve overall air quality. The Costco near me almost always has Winix C545 purifiers on sale for $200 or less (Canadian dollars). They come with an extra set of filters which is convenient. They're affordable, well trusted, and having an app to set them to a certain schedule is really nice. The pre-filter and carbon foam layer help catch a lot of pet hair and dust, as well as the HEPA helping with my allergies immensely. I also have a GermGuardian from Costco, but I don't like their design as much. The pre-filter is insufficient and the HEPA filter gets dirtier much faster. They're affordable though, which is nice.

I have the Germ Guardian air purifiers and find them quiet enough on the lowest setting to sleep with. Bought them in a two pack from Costco a few years ago and they are still working great. You can buy the replacement filters in a variety of places as well and I think they have different levels of filters as well.

Air purifier is a great purchase. I have the popular Levoit purifiers in my daughter’s nursery and our bedroom. Quiet asf. I vacuum the filters at least once or twice before I change them out to extend the life. I have a larger GermGuardian downstairs that is less quiet, but does the job. Air purifiers (and open windows) will also help in mitigating airborne sicknesses. Humidifier is a good idea—you likely don’t need to run it year round. We run ours at night in the winter bc of the radiator heat, and any time our daughter has a cough/cold, but again, only at night. You can use an ultrasonic humidifier if you use distilled water, or if you know your tap water is very soft and super clean. Otherwise it will leave a white dust around your house. (I found this out when there was a pile of dust around my Levoit purifier lol.) Evaporative work fine with tap. The cost you save on distilled (and plastic waste) you make up for in buying filters and the labor of cleaning. I have a Honeywell that I only change the filter maybe once a winter, and I clean it when I fill it. We use a Vicks in my daughter’s room, which has a built in filter and warm mist. (She can’t get to it at night, otherwise we’d go with cool mist bc of the heat.) The downside is the filter gets very easily crusted with minerals due to our hard water, and I have to wipe it either daily or every other day to prevent an impossible-to-remove crust from forming. And be sure to check the warnings on any diffuser, as oils and such can be harmful to babies and pets.

I have this exact one, it’s great!

Germ guardian AC4825 - you can get it on Amazon

Coway, GermGarurdian, and Blueair are all top rated. I personally have 2 blueair they work great I have 2 cats and my thanksgiving guests couldn’t smell them or their litterbox at all!

Germ guardian!! Have had one for about 10 years and the newest one about 7 years....they are work horses!

I bought a couple of Germ Guardian purifiers off of Amazon after Woolsey and they’ve performed well. 

I used a germ guardian but it was too loud so I diyed a few air filters for various types of fans and merv 8 filters. Not HEPA, but you can use higher merv ratings for cleaner air. Mine is not the same design as a Corsi-rosenthal box, but that was my original inspiration. DIY filters can filter a lot more CFM and are cheaper to maintain at the cost of elegance and aesthetic you get from commercial hepa filters. I can even turn it on and off remotely with a Kasa smart plug. You don’t have to use the 20x20 box fans that everyone uses, just need an adapter to connect the filter to the fan intake side (I made out of cardboard box)

I have the Germ Guardian one. Does a fine job.

Germ Guardian air purifiers are best I have ever owned and I have had 3 other purifiers before.

I have that issue with a germ guardian right now. I tore it apart and the bearing is designed to be inaccessible. On its lowest setting I can't hear it anywhere in the house.

For a budget option I'm very satisfied with Germ Guardian. It's incredibly popular so there are a ton of knockoff filters available on Amazon and I've been able to thrift a stack of officially branded filters from Goodwill. Been running it for a few months. The first month the filter got nasty so I replaced it. Now the filter has been staying fairly clean for 3 months, there is no dust on my ceiling fans, and the vacuum is picking up a lot less. This is in a house with 2 cats.

There are lots of fraudulent bad air purifiers which are nothing but expensive fans out there. I have asthma, and have 3-4 purifiers of various different stripes throughout my home. Some are indeed better than others. Because i have asthma, I make sure that air purifiers do not have ionizers (which emit ozone and cause respiratory irritation). I use germ guardian, honeywell and shark. Depending on the size of the room, I try to get ones that fit the area in question. The current one I like is: # Honeywell AllergenPlus HEPA Air Purifier, Airborne Allergen Reducer for Large Rooms, Reduces Allergens, Smoke, Wildfire Smoke, Pollen, Pet Dander and More, Black, HPA200

Calgary, Alberta here. We are known for getting smoke from wildfires. The germ guardian purifiers have worked great for us to ease smoke that gets in. can be purchased at costco at least here in canada. no UV light but we didnt get it for that

GermGuardian is my favorite! Has a HEPA filter that is super easy to replace, UV-C, and odor control, and they also have some models with carbon filters, and is very quiet. I have one in my office and one at home and love them.

I have used ALEN and GermGuardian HEPA, I got the GG first and ALEN as a second one later. They definitely do something, I lived in city during first part of my pregnancy and the smells and air quality were stifling to me, so I bought one and it was a huge improvement as I could actually tolerate the air in my apartment without feeling sick. They filter noxious smells pretty well, I used to live with people who smoked 🍃and I was able to keep the smell out of my room with it, so it definitely did something. I always see Austin air and air doctor recommended, and some specifically for issues like mold. Idk if it’s hype, like someone said you could get a box fan and air filter and make your own. But, Air Doctor is doing a presale on their new model at half price so it’s around $400 instead of $800, but doesn’t come out until summer. I just bought it as i need one for other room and thought id see if it makes a significant difference compared to the ones i have.

Thirding the Coway rec. Replaced all my freestanding GermGuardian HEPAs a couple of years ago because the filters were too expensive and needed too frequent replacement. I do use Coway branded filters, which are pricier than third party knockoffs, but they cost less than the old GG ones and only need replacing once a year. I run mine at level 2 speed 24x7, no issues. Highly recommended.
