I have some Vesync purifiers. I rarely notice a difference in day to day air quality but ever since I moved to the PNW I have one or two weeks out of the year that’s pure allergy hell. I think maybe the purifiers help a little but it’s usually so bad I’m willing to throw just about any solution towards the problem even if it doesn’t actually work . I wish it wasn’t cloud based software but it works well enough for me.
Many non-smart purifiers have annoying digital controllers (I used to have ones that look like giant iPod shuffles) that I can’t just slap a smart plug on to automate and I don’t want to go so far as to setup ESP controllers to hack them
Recently bought a few different sized Levoit air purifiers for a multi-level house and room sizes and they are awesome! Definitely get the one(s) with the app. Spent a lot of time researching. Best bang for the buck and level of filtration. On Amazon, but of course.
Mine catches me every time my cooking is burning in the kitchen. So I kinda know it works. Cooking smoke (oil droplets) should be in the PM2.5 category, which is what you should worry the most.
Mine is Levoit Smart Air Purifier.
And yes, they do shred microplastic themselves.
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

Durable, effective for allergens/odors, but loud on high.
