"My choice would be the IQAir, especially, for you, if you can do the multipack deal with one gas exchange and one Health Pro in the same room. ... Expensive, but I think you would get pristine air every 15 minutes, particularly on setting 6"

"I've had an IQAir Health Pro running non-stop for about 15 years now, and the only maintenance performed were regular filter changes."
"We have owned ours for close to 6 years now, and aside from replacing filters it works just as good as the first day."
"We have an IQ Air air purifier and again, its performance has been excellent over the past 20 years. No issues at all"

"the filters can get expensive"
"The downside is the filters can be expensive if you have to replace all at once."
"on your budget I would replace the iqair with a coway or even do 2 smart blast minis if you have the space"

"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."
"But neither of them keeps up very well with serious VOC incursion."
"also the IQair and other high end ones tend to be lower CADR because they are higher in carbon filtration and require the lower CADR to effectively get rid of VOCs"
HangryWorker 0.2Another 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.
pony7178 0.2IQAir It's been worth every penny.
Brknwtch 0.2I agree. IQ Air are the best. The HealthPro Plus XE is $1200.
biglybiglytremendous 0.1I have severe (toxic) mold exposure and respiratory issues. I do not have a diagnosis of asthma, however. I can’t recommend based on asthmatic needs, but I can recommend based on chronic conditions and personal use. My choice would be the IQAir, especially, for you, if you can do the multipack deal with one gas exchange and one Health Pro in the same room. Expensive, but I think you would get pristine air every 15 minutes, particularly on setting 6, and particularly if you use HEPA filtered household chore items (vacuum, dusters, etc.).
throwaway24689753112 0.1The big IQ air they have in hospitals. Cost a fortune but you can't beat it
ace_with_a_mace 0.1I’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
jcc2500 0.1I run a small dog boarding business out of my home and the dust and dander that the extra dogs added was mind boggling. I tried a couple of smaller air purifiers first (I think they were Honeywell brand) and although they certainly picked up a lot of dust in the filters it just wasn't making a big impact on the overall dust in the house. So then I got a couple of bigger more robust Idylis air purifiers from Lowe's and those actually did work well enough that I noticed a reduction in the dust in the house. One of them quit working within a year however the other one is still going strong almost 8 years later. But then I got lucky and a friend offered me his IQAir Health Pro purifier when he no longer needed it and that one has made the most amazing difference in the entire house (my house is small though at 1100 square ft ). It filters out dust, dander and odors amazingly well. The filters are pretty pricey though. It is a 3 filter system and if you buy all 3 together they are about $200. But I do run the air purifier all day every day and a full set of filters last about 1.5 - 2 years for me. I highly recommend the brand.
pgs96 0.1If 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.
rkim 0.1I've had an IQAir Health Pro running non-stop for about 15 years now, and the only maintenance performed were regular filter changes. It's big and the filters can get expensive, so every couple years I'll sniff around for alternatives, but I haven't found anything better thus far.
BeautyInUgly 0.0I can clearly tell when my IQAIRs are running, I sleep so much better. You might already have good air quality Fixing your furnace filter and central filtration will make a bigger difference than buying an air purifier
