Levoit - EverestAir Smart Air Purifier

Just be aware of the medify filter costs long term, they soon add up compared to the other brands on the list. For smoke I would choose the 75i or EverestAir both have good amounts of carbon compared to the others.

The Levoit Everest air routinely goes on sale for less than $500 on both their website and Amazon and it’s one of the best air purifiers I have ever used. I prefer the square air purifiers over the round ones.

None of those “high end” are that good even the Dyson. If I had to choose any of the 4 you listed I would choose the Blueair. I have not heard of air purifiers drying out the air nor have I experienced it. I would choose levoit 600s if you have it available. Relatively cheap, covers a large sq ft, cheap filters, excellent performance. Medifyair MA-50, levoit 600s or levoit Everest air, or blueair 211i. It makes a difference as to how much sq ft you are trying to cover. Make sure it’s one purifier per room as purifiers don’t clean air through walls.

Levoit EverestAir is what you want.

Levoit ones are great. Cleaning the air is good for preventing viral spread, too.

You’re going to want two kinds of air purifiers: one for particulate matter (HEPA) and another for VOCs and gases (carbon). Most consumer air purifiers either don’t have any carbon or have just a little as a marketing ploy. Hence the need to buy a real, dedicated carbon purifier. You’ll likely want an air purifier for each frequently-occupied room of the house (one for bedroom, one for living room). I’ve studied this subreddit for months and also done a bit of my own research and have hopped on the phone with a few different air purifier companies to ask about their products. All I can tell you is what purchases I’ve decided to make for my home: a Levoit EverestAir for the living room, a Levoit EverestAir for the bedroom, an AllerAir Smoke Eater for the living room, and a SmarterHEPA Smart Air Blast MKII (with the add-on carbon filter) for upstairs.

OP, have you looked at Amazon, used? I scored a cheap levoit Everest Air for cheap.

We have a Levoit Everest-air by our grey’s cage, and a couple of Coway Airmegas in each bedroom. I would say an air purifier is mandatory for your health if you own a dusty bird like a grey. Always turn off the ionizer (or get one without it A prefilter that is removable for cleaning is super handy. If you keep it washed (or vacuumed) your air filter lasts so much longer. It’s crazy the amount of dust that collects on the prefilters!

I’d yank the Levoit units off this list unless cost is your biggest driver. While the Everest air is a good unit, the core is just not. It will clean air at first but it is cheap and the filter cost will add up over time. The lack of real pre-filters really kills these things. From your list, Medify is excellent. As is Coway 400. IQ Air will filter better than any of these units… but moves a lot less air doing so. I own one and I love it but I fully admit it lacks airflow and is VERY expensive. Alen is also good, you can optionally equip them with extra carbon which is nice. You won’t regret any of these purchases tbh.

We have several LeVoit smart purifiers and they’re outstanding. Our old home is super dusty and these units have made a huge impact on how we feel and no longer see tons of random dust particles in the air.
