I have a vital 100s in my bedroom. Its great. And one core 600 for the house, that is in way to large of an area but it does what it can and does a fairly good job
My Levoit Core 600S P has been great! Covers a large area and not too loud. But it’s also really important to dust properly. Wand/disposable dusters mostly only rearrange the dust. You need a flannel dust cloth. They’re very soft and pliable and you can dust all surfaces and wipe objects down. Rinse with cold water, no soap and hang to dry. https://a.co/d/0eWm0N18
The regular/Core 600S (not plasma pro) is a beast, and you can run it on low in a bedroom and still get a good CADR. Highly recommend for the price point (~$250)
The Levoit 600S series is quite powerful for the price and is a good choice. If you want quiet, you want to oversize - get a unit for medium to large spaces and run it on low when sleeping and high when not in the room. If you can stretch your budget a little or hunt for a sale, the Coway 240/250/250s or Levoit EverestAir (US only model) are great options.
Big fan of our 2x Levoit Core 600S and 1x Vital 200S, with optional smoke filter. Filter replacements are generally once a year (we leave them all on auto 24/7). Our townhome smells fresh and crisp, there is little to no dust, and my BF’s allergies are essentially non-existent at home. Cannot recommend them enough. Good value for the money. They’re very well reviewed on rtings.com for their performance.
Eh. Actual purification performance isn’t great on Dysons though - and I say that as someone who owns 2x TP02 and 1x HP04, and have seen the data on rtings.com for them versus the competition. The only Dyson that is a “good” purifier is the BP (trashcan looking one) but it’s $$$ for its level of performance. I consider them as fans first with some mild purification properties - decent supplements to our Levoits. Truthfully, Dysons are not really worth their prices new; however, they’re are good value as refurbs.
This is such amazing information. I can’t thank you enough. I’ve suddenly become severely allergic to pollen and chemicals so this gives me a starting point to research and points me in the right direction! Thank you so much again!
That makes me hopeful! Glad it worked for you! I purchased the Core 600. Next will be Allen 45i. Tganks so much again!
I have two small coways (meh), Dyson (meh, but very good for heating!), Levoit 600S - very good and just got blueair signature - so far very happy.
The ones that I used, Im most happy with Levoit 600S
Dude, your knowledge is incredible! May I pick your brain a little? I live in Dubai. AQI is 50-150. When it's 50-100 it OK. When it goes to 150 and above, I feel my purifiers cant handle it. 2.5 particles are the main issue. Mainly from the desert, construction and traffic. Right now a lot of outside air gets sucked around doors. Next week I will have worked fixing it, setting up proper air-intakes with a simple filter (better than around the doors) that I can easily change. From there, it goes via AC system (basic filtering) + same basic filters on ducts. Our house is 1700sqf, I have Levoit 600s (living + kitchen), x2 Coway Airmega 150 (one in each bedroom) and one Dyson (we dont use it very often). As mentioned, when air gets bad, I feel they dont do enough, even if I set them to highest settings. I hope my paper-filter solution will help. However, Im considering adding another purifiers. My two concerns are - it will eat up more space + it costs money. I dont mind paying if I have to. Im pretty happy with Levoit. Coways - not so much. Two of them need to clean less space than single levoit, but doing much worse job. So I was thinking to add either another Levoit or maybe BLUEAIR Blue Signature. Which one would be better for 2.5 particles?
