AllysonsplaceI love my Medify air filters!
angelwild327I love my Medify air purifiers, awesome hepa filters and wide variety of sizes
Apprehensive_Leg8811medify needs more love. those medical grade H13 filters are legit
brin5tarI'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.
CheckCalm2875I use Medify purifiers in my classroom and home. https://medifyair.com/pages/why-medify-air
I have seven of them, in various sizes, between my house, classroom, and choir room. I am pleased with them all.
EightGenTexasGirlMedify, 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)
Equivalent_Beyond_19There are some HEPA air purifiers that are H14 rated. I use the Medify one and it works great.
green_screwdriverHoneywell, 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 :)
