Medify Air - MA-125

I couldn’t find that exact model on the AHAM directory, but looking at its specs I’m actually interested in this now for my downstairs possibly. I may have overlooked it for my bedroom because it’s 0.1 microns vs the 5500-2 is listed at 0.003 microns, but I really like the sqft coverage and CADR.. and the price! Thanks for mentioning I might be getting this next.

Sorry this is so late! I got a medify ma 125 for the downstairs Here are some quick stats off their site “2051 sq ft Can clean in 30 minutes* 930m3/h Clean Air Delivery Rate† 99.99% Captures of particles down to 0.1 microns*” I like it, but I think I like my winix 5500-2 more! I like the light that changes color and automatic changes fan speed due to a change in air quality. If I spray a cleaning product near by it goes off instantly and tries to filtrate. If my medify is on auto it’s steady at fan speed 2. I can’t imagine my air downstairs always being the same and not needing a higher fan speed.

Levoit core 600s, coway airmega 300/400, medify ma125, dyson tp10, alen air breath smart, winix t810/5500. Any of these are great, so you can pick based off of design preference and location. Ones that intake from all sides work best in center of room, others are fine up against a wall. Dyson works well as a fan or circulator too. I also live in a larger open air loft style apartment with a cat. I have a Dyson in the upstairs bedroom for the fan feature, levoit 600s in kitchen for cooking because that thing moves alot of air at max, winix 5500 in bathroom and by litterbox because it is best bang for buck, having carbon pellets for odor at low price.

Personally after looking at all of the ones you mentioned and buying a levoit 600s (which isn’t great) I ended up going for Medify MA 125. Better airflow and I have independent sensors that verify better reduction in particles

I like the ma-125 as my main filter because it moves air and gets circulation infiltration going and has a fairly accurate filter built-in. Then I use a much more focused filter for small rooms or wherever I am. The big filter takes the load off the small ones of it it doesn’t have to filter out the large particles. But I’m also dealing with Covid, micro plastics, and all allergies and having to have guests with sensitivity

I will also say that I have a Levoit 600 S and I’m very disappointed in it. And I also have a mod plus which I love so much but it just does not move air like the MA125 I use a sensor hooked up to Home Assistant and just watch these different ones work and I kind of wish I hadn’t bought the levoit

I have multiple Medify Air units, the main big one is the 125 model I believe. I live in a very dusty area with 3 dogs, also get smoke July- September a lot and it’s been able to handle all of these things. It’s several hundred dollars but I was able to use HSA money for it and for the filters which last about 6 months. I also have Merv 14 filters both in the furnace and where it comes through into the house which helps a lot too.

I have two dogs in a townhome and have 3 air purifiers. Absolutely love them. No dog smell. I have one Medify and two Levoit. Just make sure you get one that can actually clean the size of the space it will be in. The downside is buying the filters, but I find it worth the cost, and you can find cheaper, off-brand filters on Amazon.

medify needs more love. those medical grade H13 filters are legit

I bought 5 Vital (100 + 200) devices and 1 Core. The vitals barely reduced PM when I used them. I switched to Coway and Medify and had much better results.

I own medify air. I cannot complain about performance. However, people online complain that you must change your filters every 6 months or your lifetime warranty will be voided.

My partner and I use Medify air purifiers, I'm generally a fan but haven't tried others so my frame of reference might not be the best

We use medify air purifiers

I have a whirlpool air purifier that is at least 12 years old that’s still going. I also like medify air.

I’m in the same boat. Wondering what decision you made? I had a medify one and returned it because the AQI inside my apartment was 150 after running the purifier 24/7 for an entire week. I then got a Wellis and I’m doubting its efficacy just cuz I’m like wtf is this technology and I see basically no reviews online. I’m leaning toward air doctor I think? How about you?

tbh they're all basically the same. just get whatever's on sale at costco that has a hepa filter. i got some random medify one for $150 and it works fine. people overthink this stuff way too much lol

I have a couple of Medify units, which have been excellent. My understanding is that the Coway ones are good too. 

Had the same Honeywell for years, replacement filter is not expensive. Bought it used too for ~$70. Yes it gets loud, but I turn it on downstairs at bedtime so it runs all night then turn it off in the morning. For bedrooms I have Medify Air but the filter needs replaced a lot more often.

I really like my Medify Air purifiers! I definitely agree with others who have said to get a “size up” from what you think you need for your room size, so you can run it at a lower level and have it be quieter.

I have a medify one. It’s worlds different for pet dander.

I run a Medify purifier in my living room and it handles wildfire smoke pretty well for me. I like the filter setup, and it doesn’t get too loud.

we have had honeywell, air doctor, and medify air, as well as a random amazon one (veva). honeywell has actually been my favorite, and it’s also cheaper than the other 2 besides the veva. i am extremely sensitive to noise, and it is very quiet. the medify one sounds horrible- it has a weird high pitch and i can’t stand it even on the very lowest setting. i actually sent it back and they replaced it and the second one sounds the same. the air doctor is quiet too, but honestly i just don’t see a big difference in effectiveness for how much more expensive it is.  i looked for something without ozone or anti-microbial treatments, which all of the coway ones have one or the other of (the cheaper ones have ionizers which create ozone, the more expensive ones have anti-microbial filters only). all you really need is HEPA and a carbon filter. and go oversized- get one that is for an area larger than what you have. they calculate effectiveness based on it being on the highest setting, which may be louder than you want. 

I like Medify air and Dyson

I second Medify. They’re all great products.

I also like the Medify, I have one in my bedroom

Medify changed my life

Assuming that these aren't erroneous readings: - open a window or patio door a crack and turn on a fan on the opposite side of the apartment to suck in some fresh air. - get HEPA filters with activated charcoal - that will help with the VOC; we use some by Medify Air.

+1 for medify if you don’t go the box fan route. The medify that we have has a super low speed setting which means we can sleep with it next to us and get a nice breeze of purified air while the machine says silent. 

Just get something that uses HEPA filters. We have one in every room but the bathroom (humidity from the shower is not great for the filters). I've never had to clean baseboards since using them. Winix from Costco. I also have a Coway and Levoit (lots of people like those) as well as a few from Medify. They all do the same thing. I personally prefer to get one larger than needed for the size the room it's rated for so I can run it on low - which is quieter - and still get a good number of air exchanges per hour (the room size they typically advertise assumes you're running it on high which most people are not since the higher settings are loud). Bonus with HEPAs is that they help reduce illness transmission as they clean viruses from the air.
