"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."

"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."

"this unit has a annoying light sensor that doesn't allow it to run in auto mode in the dark. The sensor is silly and I wish I could disable it."


"I had it for about 3 days at that point and didn’t realize I couldn’t turn night mode off until last night 😂 ... I just pushed the 8hr timer so it stayed on during the night, but we go to sleep pretty early so it turned of while we were still sleeping and if I remember correctly (because I was half asleep) it played a loud jingle when it went off which I thought was strange."


"Yeah I covered mine with black tape."

"The filter is clogged light has been on for years though (yes I’ve replaced the filter several times)"


"The replacement filters are literally sheets you have to cut yourself and are so much thinner than the initial filters that come with the main unit."


"I have to vacuum the filters every couple weeks. ... So, while they do collect a ton of dust, the maintenance and replacement is a pain."

"I literally just bought the Airmega 350 on Amazon and immediately regretted since I can't find the replacement filters for sale anywhere. ... Coway finally responded but wasn't helpful. They said they don't know when the filters for the 350 will be released."


"450 is round. New design. Not as good but more trendy. ... Higher claimed CADR. It is round so that number will go down rapidly. ... The VERY SHORT version, although ... there's a sticky ... is that round units are not inferior due to their shape. They're inferior because ALMOST WITHOUT EXCEPTION they have: * No removable pre-filter * Minimal Carbon, placed after the main filter * Deformable main filter * Smaller fans which have to spin faster to move more air therefore have a shorter lifespan * Shorter filter life leading to more costly replacement * Questionable filter efficiency, since it's difficult to manufacture a deformable HEPA filter. Levoit in particular claimed their filters were HEPA but they weren't at the time. They might be now, since they've started shipping them reinforced. * Instructions to VACUUM YOUR FILTERS, which pretty much means they're not HEPA. ... The airmega round units are, unfortunately, no exception."


"filter replacements can get pricey though ... filters are WAY overpriced considering you can get the machine with 2 filters for $120.."

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.

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.

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).

Honeywell HEPA is what I’ve used for decades. Reliable and easy to find their filters.

You can get a HEPA filter air purifier (Honeywell makes decent ones) to deal with PLA and TPU, they dont emit the toxic VOCs like ABS, Nylon and PC, but they do still emit fine particles. Having it enclosed like you do is going to prevent a lot of those fine particles from scattering through the room though so its a big help. As a rule I try to not have my printers in the same room I work, but if you must, that HEPA filter will help reduce the fine particles a lot. For the more toxic materials, absolute best bet is to create a negative air pressure environment while venting outside through a window or port. If you cant or want even more reassurance, running a carbon filter does a lot to help. There are specialized air purifiers for VOCs but theyre not cheap. A really good one you can get is from Heygears, called the GreenPrint Purification Unit. Just know it's specifically for VOCs as it doesn't trap particles, it destroys them (so you still want a HEPA for the fine particles). This air purifier doesnt need filters though, it doesnt trap VOCs like a carbon filter which can become saturated and need replacements. It actively breaks down VOCs, so it just runs indefinitely with full efficiency, no need to swap filters.

Honeywell HEPA air purifiers. I have two: one in bedroom and one in the room where I spend most of my time watching TV, etc. Makes a difference for me.

I have these, as well, and they’re great. The cheap after-market filters from Amazon work perfectly for them, too.

We've been using the [Honeywell HPA5300B](https://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-Insight-Purifier-Allergen-Indicator/dp/B0925HB662?ie=UTF8&th=1&linkCode=ll1&tag=mymy011-20&linkId=56bf9d3853b4060b5b4f515a895462ae&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl) for a little over 2 years now, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best purchases we've made for our home. If you're on the fence, especially because of allergies, pet smells, or wildfire smoke, this unit delivers. We’ve seen a noticeable reduction in dust, pet odor (especially near litter boxes), and has been a great help for my allergies. During wildfire season, it’s been a total game changer. One thing I’d recommend: stay on top of filter changes. Replace both the pre-filter and the HEPA filter regularly, and don’t cheap out on third-party filters unless they’re actually HEPA-certified and compatible. Buying multipacks can save you money in the long run. A couple small drawbacks: the unit has some lights that stay on (even in “off” mode), which can be annoying in a dark bedroom. Also, the clear plastic on top can get cloudy over time. Not dealbreakers for us, but worth noting.
