"A good robovac is a life changer. Even a $350 basic S8. It is a great place to start. ... I promise you that you will not be disappointed by a basic S8. It will change your life even if it can't fit under every piece of furniture you own. ... My two S8s just finished vacuuming our entire house in about 46 minutes. ... While my floors were being cleaned, I sat comfortably on our patio in the cool shade with a slight breeze and composed my far too long response to you while sipping a diet soda and relaxing. ... I will have to spend about four minutes maintaining my two S8s. This will be my entire contribution to my home floor cleaning effort for today. Four minutes!"
"Like 500$ these robots are currently the steal of the century ... You can get a mova p10 pro ultra (cannot remove its mops), equivalent to the l40/x40 for 500$ after a discount code"
"I got the Q5 Pro for $139. ... costs $450 less than what I paid for the S6 ... it is the best value option out there imo."

"one has been with me since 2012 and still works great."
"Used my nemo 45 nights this past summer, still looks new."
"I've used my Exped for 500miles. I've never had a problem with it. ... Personally, I would only buy Exped or Big Agnes sleeping pads because they're the only ones I've never seen leak."

"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."
"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."
"You can also control the speed and the sound with more nuance than most commercial units"

"We used it during fires here (and lent one to a friend) and it made a huge and immediate difference."
"our Smart Blast Mini air purifer with HEPA and VOC filter works great for getting VOCs and PM2.5 down quickly."

"I have a [Smart Blast Mini](https://www.smarterhepa.com/products/smart-air-blast-mini) with hepa + carbon filters which has a very high CADR of 820 cfm, giving me a superlative bang for my buck. ... I have a sunroom and dining room off the living room so I can use the Smart Blast for that area. ... Let's say you're looking to purify the air in a 20 x 20 LR plus an adjacent 12 x 13 DR and 11 x 9 sunroom with 8' ceilings. The total square footage = 8 x (20 x 20 + 12 x 13 + 11 x 9) = 5,240 cubic feet (cf). ... ACH = 820 cf x 60 min/hr /5240 cf = 9.4 ACH which is very good."
"I chose Smart HEPA, because I did like the ability to purify large capacity rooms (open room spaces)- the high CFM of 820 works to refresh the air of a ~1,500sqft space four times in an hour. ... I was interested that in its own promotion it included open classroom spaces as one of its target demographics."
"It has a very high CADR (clean air delivery rate)"

"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."

"To boot, certain VOCs—such as formaldehyde and acetaldehyde—are not well-adsorbed by untreated activated carbon [AC]. ... You need modified AC for higher removal efficiencies. For example, formaldehyde is better adsorbed by manganese dioxide (MnO₂) impregnated AC. Potassium permanganate (KMnO₄) impregnated AC should better remove both formaldehyde and acetaldehyde."
"However there are so many chemicals in wildfire smoke, particularly if structures have burned, that they don't get everything. ... I am sensitive to terpenes and right now they don't help with the Camphor tree flowers. ... So they can greatly improve air quality but don't expect all VOCs to be removed from the air."
"None of these are good for higher levels and/or long-term removal of VOCs."

"Both are stupid loud on high, like you need to yell loud if you are near it, so you likely won’t run them at that speed anyway."
I wouldn't say a purifier isn't doing anything if it's on low speed. I understand in most cases you are correct ..or at least for most casuals....but for my Smart air blast mini, I can run it on speed 1 24/7 in my living area since I don't need 6ACH for pollen. All I'm saying is, it depends on the use case.
r/AirPurifiers • Is this overkill to buy for a small appartment? ->Smart Air (SmarterHEPA in the US) is our main filters with an AustinAir in the bedroom. AustinAir is one of the only with a large amount of carbon or carbon fabric in them for VOCs and odors.
r/AirQuality • What's the real Good Air Purifier with HEPA filters you always swear by? ->I recommend [this one](https://www.amazon.com/Qingping-Temperature-Humidity-Upgraded-Function/dp/B0CZ85RT6C/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3F5A48JDTFDTE&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.5KcncewEyArPaKRv_N-DHw.grH0G1BnrdOsgQP1GOPZiDWfuT9CfzC3PGuoyV-6p3Y&dib_tag=se&keywords=smart%2Bair%2Bqingpong%2Bpro&qid=1758783695&sprefix=smart%2Bair%2Bqingppo%2Bpro%2Caps%2C122&sr=8-1&th=1). We have it and it works very well. Whenever we use our (unfortunately gas) stove or oven, the total VOC count goes in the red. We're planning to buy an induction range. In the meantime, our [Smart Blast Mini air purifer ](https://www.smarterhepa.com/products/smart-air-blast-mini?variant=41889323385016)with HEPA and VOC filter works great for getting VOCs and PM2.5 down quickly. It's very powerful. We also utilize our range hood and open windows when weather allows.
r/AirQuality • Best ways to reduce VOC’s from new oven? Worried about baby in house. ->Yes, like a Smart Air Mini! [Either way, here is a great list of reviewed purifiers that work against VOCs (farts, among other things)](https://housefresh.com/air-purifier-for-vocs/)
r/kindergarten • Air purifier for classroom? ->If I were buying today and had $600/filter to spend, I’d get a SmartAir Blast Mini. So quiet. So efficient. I’d also check out the reviews on HouseFresh. FWIW, I hate the CR box I built in 2020. It is loud, big, and ugly.
r/Masks4All • Which Home Air Purifiers are your BEST PICKS that you'll recommend for those who live in severe air pollution areas? ->I have a smart air blast mini in my living room and an iqair in my bedroom, but on your budget I would replace the iqair with a coway or even do 2 smart blast minis if you have the space
r/AirQuality • What are some of the best air purifiers for home in the market? ->This is the only air purifier I've used that actually helps with odor, but you'll need the optional carbon filter - https://www.smarterhepa.com/products/smart-air-blast-mini Alternatively you could spend $700 on a litter robot 4 that would self-clean while you're not home https://www.litter-robot.com/litter-robot-4.html
r/AirPurifiers • 900sq ft apartment, best air purifier for stinky kitty? ->Smartair Blasted MKII is very quiet with very high CADR due to the size of the filter.
r/AirPurifiers • Are HEPA purifiers really that important? ->It's still not providing 4-5 air changes an hour to 3,000 square feet The SmartAir Blast Mini has a CADR of 435 CFM. It's rated for a max room size of 700 square feet. The BlueAir 211i Max has a CADR of 410 CFM. Max room size is in the 600s.
r/AirPurifiers • Largest budget air purifier ->I second the Smart Blast Mini! I have one and it works great. It has a very high CADR (clean air delivery rate) so in a small place with just one living room and 2 bedrooms, all that may be required is one. Unfortunately they raised the price recently due to tariffs, so it's over $700 now, and OP couldn't afford two. I'd go with a Smart Blast Mini for the LR and an SA600 (same brand) for the bedroom. OP, see this [link](https://smartairfilters.com/en/shop/?=header) for the purifiers.
r/AirQuality • What are some of the best air purifiers for home in the market? ->Yes, air purifiers are worth it. I have a portable air quality monitor that measures PM2.5 and VOCs and when I'm blasting my air purifiers I watch the PM2.5 and VOC counts go down significantly. You need to make your purchases wisely. Pay attention to the CADR (clean air delivery rate, usually measured in cubic feet per minute (cfm) and the square footage (in cubic feet) of the area you're trying to clean. You'll want to aim for at least 6-8 air changes per hour, but even 3-4 is better than nothing. To calculate the number of air changes per hour (ACH), ACH = (CADR x 60) / Room Volume For example, I have a [Smart Blast Mini](https://www.smarterhepa.com/products/smart-air-blast-mini) with hepa + carbon filters which has a very high CADR of 820 cfm, giving me a superlative bang for my buck. I have a sunroom and dining room off the living room so I can use the Smart Blast for that area. Let's say you're looking to purify the air in a 20 x 20 LR plus an adjacent 12 x 13 DR and 11 x 9 sunroom with 8' ceilings. The total square footage = 8 x (20 x 20 + 12 x 13 + 11 x 9) = 5,240 cubic feet (cf). ACH = 820 cf x 60 min/hr /5240 cf = 9.4 ACH which is very good.
