HealthPro Compact

Everyone's different but I tried three different purifiers, including one of the highest rated that cost me almost £1000 and they only made my allergies to my dog worse. I hoover, dust and wipe surfaces daily and while they capture most of the particulate, It's like they suck everything up and blow it all back out into the air around you which may flare things up as it did for me. Hopefully you don't have the same issue but keep that in mind.

An Iq air healthpro. I've also had a smart air blast mk 2 and the levoit 300s 400s and 600s.

I’ve had air purifiers around my reptiles for a few years and I’ve had no problems. Air purifiers just clean things from the air and make it cleaner so I don’t think there’s much risk for reptiles? I’d wait for other replies to see what other people have found. The ones I use are Honeywell and the HealthPro, given I use them for health reasons and not for my pets. But I’ve never had any problems

It's expensive, but for the last decade we've used IQAir healthpro with hyperhepa, no ozone and they're hospital grade. I have an air quality monitor to check and it absolutely works since we have cats, carpet, and live near pollution. It's kept my husband from getting covid twice while I had it.

If cost isn’t an issue, look at IQ Air Health Pro. Works great! EDIT : I just noticed the budget constraint. This costs around 1000 dollars.

Well I bought a coway 400 and the iq health pro on ebay togethor for 550 $ with new filters, thought that was a pretty decent deal with the filters. Hoping togethor will have some effect. Will update after I get them running lol. Thanks everyone

I run 3 filters, Austin and IQAIR, in each of 2 spaces - one 300 square feet the other 600 square feet. If the air is poor outside my Purple Air sensors will still show green. However there are so many chemicals in wildfire smoke, particularly if structures have burned, that they don't get everything. I am sensitive to terpenes and right now they don't help with the Camphor tree flowers. So they can greatly improve air quality but don't expect all VOCs to be removed from the air.

For best VOC removal, such as mycotoxins, you need a lot of absorbent media. Checkout Airpura, Allerair, Austin, IQAir. All are in the $1k range. I'm unsure whether any filter will eliminate mold sensitivities. Did see an improvement when upgraded my Austins with Immunity Machine filters but molds still aren't totally controlled. There are clinics which can treat mycotoxin sensitivities. Can be quite expensive.

Running both IQAir and Austin Immunity Machines in my major rooms particulates run from 0 to under 10.

I have had my Austin, IQAir, Honeywell and Whirlpool machines for as much as \~20 years and have had no problems with filter replacements.

The 4 vendors with the best VOC filters are Airpura, Allerair, Austin, IQAir. Absorbent media composition and weight vary by manufacturer. IQAir has models that go up to 32 pounds of media, at least according to google search. Note that no VOC filter will remove all VOCs. They do well with some chemicals, partially control some, and totally ignore others. I use IQAirs and Austin Immunity Machines, multiple units per room unless you want to put up with the noise running the fans on high speed. Had a room repainted and requested a low VOC paint. Was pleasantly surprised that I had no problems with the paint even though I am extremely chemically sensitive. It is possible that the renovations don't cause a VOC problem at all, or maybe just for a few days.

My Austin, IQAir, Honeywell and Whirlpool filters all work with smart plugs. When you purchase make sure you can return if it doesn't work as features change over time.

Alen is excellent. So is IQair
