"I recently found out I have a bunch of allergies- including my dog, so I got these Winix units to try and help combat the allergies. ... Within about 45 minutes of running one in my living room, part of my nose that has been clogged for as long as I can remember opened up. I’m breathing better than I have in years."
"I can tell you they really work. I have a mold allergy, and mold is literally everywhere in outdoor or indoor air with spores just waiting to land in a suitable environment for growth, but I have no symptoms at home with my two small Winix."
"They are also great to have during annual west coast wild fire smoke season and keep particulates in the house undetectable even when it has been horrid outside."

"We have indoor animals and almost a year later running 24/7 no issues. ... It’s just not the workhorse Winix is."
"I've had a Coway airmega going 24/7 for six years that hasn't developed any noise problems"
"I got annoyed when my winnnix developed a noise, but then I realized it was the unit I’ve been running almost 24/7 for ten years. ... The 2015-ish one is still fine."

"third party filters (tested for effectiveness) cost $20 a year."
"Not only are official filters likely to be available, there are tons of aftermarket options available as well. ... If filter availability is a primary concern, the AP-1512HH or 200m are tops."
"filter replacements are readily available ($50 for 2) ... available + cheap-ish filter replacements"

"I have 4 of them - 1 in each bedroom, 1 in entryway/dining, 1 in living room - all running for ... 7-8? years solid, 24/7. ... I went with a bunch of Honeywell HPA300 machines to cover multiple rooms several years ago and have been thrilled. They run 24/7 every day on low"
"This Honeywell HPA300 is a beast for allergies. ... I’ve used it in my living room, and it noticeably reduced my sneezing and stuffy nose during allergy season."
"I too have a stinky cat and a rabbit who doesn't stink but sheds like you cant believe. I went totally overboard and got SIX of these for 2100 sq ft place and my air has never been cleaner. ... If you get 3, your air will be pure."

"Honeywell HPA300 is an absolute unit. ... Not the prettiest thing but it WORKS. ... We have severe dust allergies and two shedding dogs, and this thing keeps our living room air surprisingly clean."
"My grandfather has COPD and his pulmonologist specifically recommended the Honeywell HPA300. ... his breathing has noticeably improved since we installed them. ... Sometimes the medical-looking options are that way for a reason - they just work."

"the medify one sounds horrible- it has a weird high pitch and i can’t stand it even on the very lowest setting. ... i actually sent it back and they replaced it and the second one sounds the same."
"The Germ Guardian air purifiers from Costco are incredibly noisy and create a constant high-pitched noise at *any* setting."
"Levoit Core 300 was decent on specs, but it hummed just enough to wake the youngest every other night."

"Also I just put it in the bathroom w my bf while he poops. No change in the air reading or smell of the bathroom."
"Just stay away from the Honeywell HPA models. They all develop a burning smell. I've swapped my 2 out a total of 6 times."
"They’ve massively oversold how large of a space this device is suited for. ... I found it did nothing for odors. ... There is basically no carbon filter in this so it won’t filter odors at all… ... Correct. I wish I had realized that before I bought it but oh well. The carbon sheet is advertised to make one think it will help with odors. Live and learn"

"The filter is clogged light has been on for years though (yes I’ve replaced the filter several times)"
My grandfather has COPD and his pulmonologist specifically recommended the Honeywell HPA300. We got one for his bedroom and another for the living room. It's not fancy or pretty, but his breathing has noticeably improved since we installed them. Sometimes the medical-looking options are that way for a reason - they just work. They go on sale for around $250 fairly often.
r/buyforlifetips • Best Air Purifiers for Home Use? Recommendations Needed ->Yes, an air purifier helps. The best brand is Honeywell with a HEPA filter. Second is Bionaire with True HEPA filter (purple one), third is Bionaire with the blue filter. Levoit kind of sucks. Don't waste your money on the Pure Enrichment Personal Air Purifier.
r/saskatoon • Air purifier ->This Honeywell HPA300 is a beast for allergies. It has an insanely high Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR), which means it clears out dust, pollen, and pet dander super fast. I’ve used it in my living room, and it noticeably reduced my sneezing and stuffy nose during allergy season. It’s straightforward—no fancy features—but it gets the job done effectively.
r/moderatelygranolamoms • What are the Best Air Purifier for Allergies? ->Honeywell Hepa Air Purifier is amazing all the time especially post fire. It's saved me.
r/AirPurifiers • Air Doctor, Winix, Coway, Levoit, Wellis Air ->I’ve tried a few and the germ guardians are the best bang/buck. The big Honeywell ones if you have to do a BIG space. We have a Dyson and I don’t love it.
r/moderatelygranolamoms • To allergy sufferers (dust mites), what is the best air purifier you've ever tried for dealing with this? ->Honeywell HPA300 is the Toyota Corolla of air purifiers. Boring, reliable, gets the job done
r/AirQuality • I analyzed 60+ Reddit threads to find the best air purifiers ->I live in a tall loft with ciment ceilings and it produces a lot of dust. I got a large Honeywell HEPA air purifier and it works very well. The carbon pre-filter can be vacuumed and there is a thick layer of hair and dust every week. The inner filters I vacuum every month and change them once a year.
r/smarthome • To people who use Air Purifiers, do they work or is it a scam? ->I think investing in one is not a bad idea, I have two Honeywell HPA300’s and they seem to do a good job of filtering smells. I think the biggest change you can make is investing in a MERV13 or above furnace filters. They’ll do a lot better job at filtering the over all air in your home.
r/CleaningTips • Are Air Purifiers worth it? ->Honeywell HEPA. Don't buy an electrostatic/ionizer type "purifier" as it creates O³ (ozone) - which is hazardous (and is also a component of smog).
r/ottawa • Please try to protect yourself from the smoky air ->I bought a Honeywell Allergen Plus about a month ago. It’s pretty loud on the high setting (not too bad on low and not overly distracting watching tv on medium). My mom has 3 of them and we have to speak up when they’re on high.🤣 https://a.co/d/gVc1g4k
