HPA5300B

Vacuum? Do you even own one? Start there. [I have a an older version of this and really like it. It’s been running on low for past 6+ years with no issues. Just regular vacuum of the pre filter once a week and filter changes every few months. The Oder removing filter work well too.](https://www.honeywellstore.com/store/products/honeywell-insight-hepa-air-purifier-hpa5300b.htm)

I like the Honeywell HPA series - I have a HPA 5300. It is HEPA. I like that there are various pre-filters you can buy to tailor to your needs. I use a A pre-filter, an S pet-odor filter, and the standard HEPA filters. The unit circulates air in a large room about 3 times per hour. Noise levels are fantastically quiet, and the auto setting allows me to run the unit 24/7 without changing anything. While it’s lacking smart features, I don’t feel I need it. I also have a Levoit 400S-P that I run a different room, without the ionizer. It gives me comparable performance as the Honeywell but I don’t like lack of filter options, is slightly more expensive to maintain, and slightly noisier.

I use a Blueair 211i Max. It does an amazing job of capturing cat fur. I have to wash it every two weeks due to how much fur and hair it catches. It has significantly brought down my allergies. I also have a Levoit Core 600S that I love. My Honeywell HPA5300 is amazing at capturing so much cat fur.

When the smoke was really bad a couple summers ago, I bought this Honeywell air purifier, which covers the whole 1st floor of the house. It’s really helped. It has HEPA filters and a carbon pre-filter. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/honeywell-allergen-plus-hepa-air-purifier-extra-large-rooms-500-sq-ft-black/6412444.p It automatically senses when there is a high level of VOCs, so yeah, it kicks into turbo mode when somebody farts.

Honeywell we use the big 500 sq foot one for main floor and the smaller 200 sq ft one for the bedroom leave them on low change filters every 4/6 months

Yes. I have Honeywell HEPA units in multiple houses. 24/7.

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.
