I second a Levoit. I have 3 different models right now in my house. They’re decent price and they last for years if you replace the filters on schedule. And I run my a few hours a day, sometimes all day. I have the core 300S and the 300S-P with WiFi in my living room and primary bedroom. I have LV-H128 in my kitchen. I used to have the LV-PUR131S but it finally died after 5 years
IqAir, Austin, Levoit They are all running right now at home. Visitors often tell me the house smells very clean and pure. I have a Levoit 300 by the front door. Levoit 600 in the living room. Austin on the kitchen counter in the corner by the stove. An IqAir in my master. A Levoit 300 in another bedroom. MPR 300 filters for my HVAC.
IqAir It’s not “smart”. But I don’t need it to have WiFi or smart features. I need it to cleanse the air. I have a Levoit in my living room and the only thing that is neat is telling Siri to turn it to 100% or back down to 50%. The IqAir sits in my master bedroom. It smells clean and crisp in the bedroom!
Air purifiers work remarkably well. We have a cat and dog and I sometimes suffer a bit with cat hair giving me a persistent sickly cough. I bought a small Levoit air purifier for the bedroom and was amazed at how much better I slept at night. I ended up buying a larger whole house air purifier, (same brand). On a normal setting they run silently and barely use any energy. Not sure about other brands but the Levoit purifiers have reusable filters which you just take out and vacuum clean every week or so. I'd buy one if the single room air purifiers and see if it makes a difference. As far as visiting other people's homes, there's not much you can do about it.
4 ways that don’t include fighting your pet into a bath or shower: Regularly clean out their ears! You can get pet-specific wipes for this so they don’t bother their ears, or solutions to put on cotton pads, but people often don’t realise how much smell builds up in dogs’ ears. It’s even worse as they age. Their ears are naturally producing wax and oils, and then they go exploring and rub their ears on everything which picks it all up, then they lay down in your floors and furniture with their greasy ears. Not to mention ear mites are a common occurrence also. People often assume smells must be coming from butt or mouth but the ears can get really pungent. Clean their bedding regularly and put easy to wash blankets over furniture they get on (you can choose nice looking ones, but the lighter and easier to wash the better), and wash those regularly too. Using biological washing detergent that isn’t heavily perfumed (they won’t go back on it if it’s too perfumed). And an air purifier. We have an automatic one and it’s amazing how it kicks into overdrive when a pet walks by with pollen, dust and dander on their coat. It’s the levoit brand. You can also get dry shampoos for dogs and cats which go into your hand or a glove like a foam but dry into the coat as you rub it in (no need to wet them first). It’s designed to break down the bacteria that leads to smells and reduce the frequency of baths. I recommend gloves because some oils and grime can be released from the coat when you are rubbing it in. You can even get rubber or silicone gloves with nodules on them to massage it deep into the coat.
Hey! I have 5 Levoit smart purifiers around my home on Google Home ecosystem, and it works flawlessly.
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.
I bought a Levoit smart air purifier. I just turn it on with the button. Never used the app.
I know exactly how you must feel, as we've been through this all before, it's overwhelming with all the different choices. My partner has a severe dust mite allergy and the first thing we bought was a Levoit true HEPA filter air purifier. Further to that, we bought a Dustro dx6 mattress vacuum cleaner. It removes all the dust mites from deep inside the mattress, UV sterilises it, and applies hot air to it too which apparently makes it hard for them to survive or multiply. Trust me the first time you use it you'll be shocked at what it pulls out - this is after vacuuming our bed daily! A combination of both have made a night and day difference, we noticed the different straight away
I am a Levoit fan, I have the WiFi enabled purifiers throughout my home.
I use Levoit air purifiers in my home and pleased with them. A lot of their models are on sales on Amazon right now. I would suggest NOT leaving your window open if you’re concerned about allergens as well.
Air cleaners/purifiers (I have one in every single room, 2 in the open living dining kitchen area). Some brands offer pet specific filters (I use Winix plasma waves in larger rooms, and Levoit for smaller rooms, both the cylindrical and the rectangular). Regular vacuuming. Blankets on furniture that can be put in washing machines. If you have hardwood, minimize your area rugs and mop once a week, if possible. If you need area rugs, try washable rugs you can toss in the washing machine. I have three dogs, a breed that is notoriously difficult to house train. I keep an armada of enzyme cleaners and a black light on hand. They are also a breed that loves blankets, so I use specially formulated enzyme cleaner in the washing machine when I wash their blankets. The washing machine runs daily here.
