JollyGreenWorld117I have a OQ Air Health Pro Plus in my 1,100 square foot apartment with my cat. I've had zero issues with the unit and has improved myself and my cats asthma. My cat never gets any asthma attacks now.
Carnegie1901[https://www.iqair.com/us/products/air-purifiers](https://www.iqair.com/us/products/air-purifiers). I spent a lot of time researching and decided on IQAir. It’s over $1k but the filtration is the best.
cowboys30Iqair is way out of the league of other highly recommended ones. The Iqair is expensive to buy and refill for a reason... it is filtering stuff and microns of vapors the Coways and Dysons arent even touching.
HangryWorkerAnother vote for IQ Air… I run the HealthPro Plus XE and it’s been a spectacular unit. I have a 1600 sq/ft studio and it takes care of the entire space. The improvements in air quality were significant.
I saw that one but went a different route based on recommendations from some friends who are crazy into these things… went with this. It’s pretty amazing. https://www.iqair.com/us/products/air-purifiers/healthpro-plus?Model=XE
Sure, all valid points. I’ve seen a lot of reports of fan failure after about a year, but still worth a try at that price point. I do have a larger space and the reliability / quality of the IQ Air was worth the spend. Just sharing options.
pony7178IQAir It's been worth every penny.
Accurate_Branch9349adding more purifiers is no overkill. i have 11 winix 5500-2 units around here and i have a Iq air healthpro plus. They all do a decent job at what they do covering all rooms and spaces. i dont run them all the time in all spaces 2 units are only on when im working in the garage and back of the house. I find that the health pro plus is the most effective unit downstairs it is much more powerful then the winix 5500-2 units i own. but the winix units are great at trapping cat hair and particles linnencloth and dust on the prefilter. i can easily vacuum it off. it slowed down the dust build up around our house considerably. I wish that i could place a healthpro plus in my bedroom but there is too little space. the 5500-2 i have in my beds end is more practical for the moment.
Accurate_Mix_6743If you want something in the 200-300 dollar range, then go with Coway Airmega that’s a very good option, budget I’d recommend Levoit Core 400S and for premium I’d recommend the IQair Health Pro Plus Air purifier, that thing is built like a tank!
AirPurificationEduI'd go Airpura, as well. 1) But I would consider the H14 Super HEPA option, as a 10x10 space will possibly enable you to be in the direct path of airflow depending on what speed you run it on and where you are located in relation to the unit. I run an Airpura V414 less than 2 ft. from my head and use it kinda like a Personal Air purifier as it blows filtered air to my facial region…. I run it on medium speed/200 CFM… but I also have an IQAir HPP about 10 ft. behind me - so I get good ACH between the 2 units and DPCA (Direct Path of Clean Air) from the V414... And I do have an H14 Super HEPA in the unit. 2) Airpura has told me that the smaller (400 units) tend to perform better in smaller spaces (@ 200 sq. ft. and less) than the larger units…. I’m still not exactly sure why that would be the case…. But that’s what they’ve told me… 3) I’d check with Airpura to see what they think is best for your space based on your variables.
