"I recently found out I have a bunch of allergies- including my dog, so I got these Winix units to try and help combat the allergies. ... Within about 45 minutes of running one in my living room, part of my nose that has been clogged for as long as I can remember opened up. I’m breathing better than I have in years."
"I can tell you they really work. I have a mold allergy, and mold is literally everywhere in outdoor or indoor air with spores just waiting to land in a suitable environment for growth, but I have no symptoms at home with my two small Winix."
"They are also great to have during annual west coast wild fire smoke season and keep particulates in the house undetectable even when it has been horrid outside."

"Big Agnes warranty and customer service help is top-notch. ... I sent them an email earlier this week and they responded within minutes with a fix that allowed me not to send the tent in and repair it myself."
"Nemo’s warranty is fantastic. ... They repaired a rainfly for free that I’m pretty sure definitely ripped due to me."
"their customer support was better than any company I’ve ever encountered ... When my first tent got some delamination on the waterproofing layer they replaced it for free"

"Support had me go through all the usual troubleshooting steps — no fix. ... I was told a replacement had been “processed” and would ship. ... It’s now been nearly two weeks and my order is still showing as “processing”. ... I’ve exchanged 24+ emails with Support. The replies are all scripted apologies and vague “please wait” responses. ... Their site promises 3–5 days for new orders, yet for a replacement I’ve paid almost $500 for, I’ve received nothing. ... I’ve asked for a refund policy and escalation, but I keep getting ignored."
"I have never faced such a horrible service from any products in my life. ... Their service is ridiculous. ... The technician would come home and then inspect the device and raise a ticket for the spare part. So the spare part will be couriered to the customer directly after 2 or 3 weeks. Once this reaches your home, the technician will come again and replace that part. This is ridiculous. ... They don't provide service, they don't provide warranty. ... n one of my friends case, they had denied warranty saying there is fungus on board and its caused by water damage."
"Ecovacs has the worst after sales of any company in any place of the world I have ever experienced. ... The company won’t take responsibility and goi around in circles. ... They wasted more than 6 months after talk to multiple people and site visits and it was escalated till the head of the after sales who I will name clearly: Tanmay Gangani, who is an absolute unprofessional and blatant liar with no sense of responsibility and ethics."

"Very reliably unreliable ... having two pairs replaced under warranty and still failed on the third."
"Initially a loud screech blowing my eardrum. ... Then a crackling like you have a car window open going 80mph. ... Then the headphone completely fails; no sound. ... this song and dance will continue until "oops, you're outside the warranty period, thanks for the $270"."
"But the App and my phone just did NOT get along. ... They would constantly disconnect."

"I had a Levoit Core 300 that developed a fan whine after a year. ... Went through the RMA process and they sent me a new one, which developed the same noise within a few months."
"We have 2 levoits and even on 1 I can hear it across the room with the TV on. ... They both have an ear-piercing high pitched sound that I can't stand."
"Levoit Core 300 was decent on specs, but it hummed just enough to wake the youngest every other night."

"99% of first gen and second gen eventually become faulty after 1 year. ... I had 4 Mila, they all died the same way, replacement had the same fate, I gave up and threw all 4 of them away."
"I went through 11 or 12 Milas (originally bought 5) that all had bearings issues or capacitor failures."
"Had 3 Levoit’s but they all died between 12-24 months. Junk"
Mila. It’s fantastic. Air purifiers aren’t scams. You are paying for a ready made product vs building one yourself. Thats not what scam means.
r/smarthome • What's the best air purifier you've tried? Worth it or a Scam? ->I went through 11 or 12 Milas (originally bought 5) that all had bearings issues or capacitor failures. I finally broke down and bought 5 Winix refurb C545 units for $69 each 2 years ago....best decision ever! They are super easy to clean, I can get off brand filter refills that are a bargain, I love the app scheduling options....they just WORK in silence and it's so great to actually forget about them because they aren't constantly breaking. It felt like I was actually cheating on Mila when I finally threw in the towel. However, I wish I had done it sooner instead of just prolonging the torture. Coways are great machines...I'm sure you'll love it.
r/AirPurifiers • Stay away from Mila Air - They stalled until my unit was out of warranty. ->We've had Mila air purifiers for years, and I've been very happy with the performance and feature set. The filters are very high quality, the sensor suite is very sophisticated, and the app is easy to use. One early unit we had developed a small ticking issue at high fan speed, and Mila replaced it with a new unit. So great performance and exemplary customer service support. I just ordered 2 Mila Air Mini for bedrooms.
r/AirPurifiers • Mila Air 3 or other ? ->I can’t claim to be an expert in this topic, but we recently purchased a Mila air purifier and we love it.
r/Home • Your top choices when it comes to the best Home Air Purifiers? ->I’ve been using Mila Air Purifiers for years and they are great.
r/BuyItForLife • The Best Air Purifier for Home now? Have you noticed a huge difference since you started using them? ->Mila. Works very well and the accompanying smart app provides great data. Filters do get pricey, however.
r/Home • Best air purifier for home to buy today - What are your favorite choices? ->You must be 1% of the lucky customers. 99% of first gen and second gen eventually become faulty after 1 year. I had 4 Mila, they all died the same way, replacement had the same fate, I gave up and threw all 4 of them away.
r/AirPurifiers • Mila Air 3 or other ? ->[Mila](https://milacares.com/) is homekit compatible. It's not cheap and has had reliability issues in the past, but the new models are more solid.
r/HomeKit • Best native air quality monitor? ->Yup, I have 2 regular milas and 2 minis and they absolutely carried me through the LA wild fires. The first one I bought had to be RMA'ed a couple times but the rest have been fine (purchased later, they have diff motors)
r/HomeKit • Best native air quality monitor? ->Yes, I have a cat with asthma and we have a Mila air and she is much better now. We also got a robot vacuum to clean every day which I think helps.
r/AskUK • Has anyone used an air purifier and did it help? ->I have a Mila air purifier which is excellent and also a robot vacuum/mop which does a good job of keeping on top of the day to day stuff. My Pedro still absolutely stinks when he takes a crap though! (He has FIV and is on a sensitive diet).
r/CatsUK • Air purifier for cat owners ->We’ve owned multiple Mila, Honeywell, and BlueAir over many years and the BlueAirs are the only ones whose fans have stayed smooth and quiet.
r/AirQuality • What’s the Best Air Purifier to Buy Right Now? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
