MedifyAir. They have both wall mounted and free standing options. Filters mail out on a schedule, so I don’t have to keep track- when the filters show up in the mail, I change them.
We have four- two MA-25s and a MA-15 for the bedrooms and a MA-35 wall mount for the main living space- and they’ve been great. Quiet, not weird looking, displays that can be turned off, filters that seat snugly in their spots. Fan blades are never dirty.
Also to add: I bought the first one almost five years ago and we’ve had zero problems with it. We live in an area prone to wildfire smoke, we have a wood stove that runs almost continuously in the winter, we have a cat and a dog, and no HVAC system to filter the air, so we make these units *work*.
I can second this suggestion- it's a great model!!
I'm not confident the air is going to mix down a very long hall to the kitchen by itself (regardless of the cadr of the purifier). If you had the stovetop exhaust fan on pulling air through, or just a regular fan somewhere on low, that might get air moving in from the hall, into the kitchen, so the purifier could pull it through.
Re: bathroom- it's my understanding humidity isn't good for HEPA filters and that there's a usage range, but I've operated small ones on bathroom countertops okay. I don't live in a humid area, and my bathroom does not get super steamy. I used the smaller levoit, and a small medify model. (Sorry don't recall model #s).
I’m a HS teacher and have two desktop air purifiers with HEPA filters (the Medify air ones on Amazon - I change the filters once a semester). I also mask when not at my desk and disinfect during my lunch.
