MA-35 (Wall-Mounted)

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 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've been using Medify Air for 5+ years and they've held up well. They work well, especially during wildfire season. I also run them when guests are present to reduce the spread of airborne germs for an immune compromised household member.

We use medify air purifiers

Medify, Coway, Honeywell are all brands I use and trust. And I’ve tried MOST brands. One I DONT recommend is Sans. They’re overpriced pieces of junk.  Just pick one based on sq footage and where you want the airflow (example if you want it to blow out the side, you may feel more of the breeze, or from the top) 

There are some HEPA air purifiers that are H14 rated. I use the Medify one and it works great.

Honeywell, Levoit, Medify, Coway

It depends on the size of your rooms, and how much noise matters to you. They will all be great for pet hair, dust, and have models at about $250 to $300, for your total $600 budget for 2 units -- but you need to get models that appropriately cover the square footage in each room. Typically models will advertise the square footage they cover on the highest setting -- which is the loudest. You want to be able to run it on lower settings most of the time, so check the square footage they cover on lower settings, and/or "overbuy" for your space. Also check the pricing for a unit's replacement filters -- that's an important cost consideration. Finally, if you can swing it, I also recommend units with activated carbon / VOC filters for smells, when you have pets :)

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.
