Durable, effective for allergens/odors, but loud on high.
Running these analyses costs money. Buy through my links to help keep lights on! I may get a small commission.
I bought philips ac3220/10, no ozone
I would definitely avoid both Dyson and Shark-Ninja. Dyson has low particulate CADRs and a high price. Shark is mediocre quality and has very little capacity for gases, vapors, or odors. The Dyson Purifier Cool PC2 De-NOx may be good at reducing NOx and formaldehyde. However I don't know how well it reduces other gases *without* creating problematic unintentional byproducts. If you have high levels of particulates *and* gases/vapors/odors, you generally need two types of air purifier. This is because most common purifier brands have very little sorbent media for gases/vapors/odors. Instead, they're designed for particulates. Heavyweight sorbent media purifiers are very loud, very expensive, and clean the air more slowly than particulates-focused units. I would strongly recommend having air testing done with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. GC-MS would tell you which gaseous species are present. This is because plain/chemically untreated sorbent media do not have high removal capacities for all gaseous species. Some people have reported problems with plain sorbents, such as "sweet" smell emanating from the purifier or spikes on tVOC monitors despite a reduction in odors. Unfortunately I don't think you have loads of sorbent media purifier options in Turkey. The only ones may be the IQAir GC and GCX series purifiers. The GCX series purifiers would have the most sorbent media by weight. # Particulates I'll recommend particulates purifiers for now. For rooms measured in meters, Clean Air Delivery Rates (CADRs) should be 4-6 times a room's volume (in m^(3)) where higher pollution levels or people with allergies are present. Bedroom should have CADRs of 192 - 288 m^(3)/h. Living room/kitchen area should have CADRs of 288 - 432 m^(3)/h. For your bedroom, I would recommend either the Philips PureProtect 3200 Series (AC3220/10 model) or the Levoit Vital 200S. For the living room/kitchen area, I would recommend the Philips PureProtect 3200 Series (AC3220/10 model). Keep in mind particulate CADRs apply to the highest airflow speed/setting only. Lower settings have lower CADRs, which reduces cleaning effectiveness.
A bit late here, sorry! We need the ceiling height for room volume to determine Clean Air Delivery Rates (CADRs). Let's assume it's 2.4 meters high. For rooms measured in meters and persons with asthma/allergies, CADRs should be 4 to 6 times the room's volume in m^(3). 32.4 m^(2) × 2.4 m = 77.76 m^(3). 77.76 m^(3) × 4 to 6 = 312 to 467 m^(3)/h. You need 312 - 467 m^(3)/h CADRs. Because you have allergies, asthma, and live near a roadway, it would be best to oversize a bit. You could go with the [Philips PureProtect 3200 Series Smart Air Purifier](https://www.philips.com.au/c-p/AC3220_10/pureprotect-3200-series) as it has a top CADR of 520 m^(3)/h. But if I were you, I might spring for the [Philips PureProtect Pro 4200 Series Smart Air Purifier](https://www.philips.com.au/c-p/AC4221_11/pureprotect-pro-4200-series). It has a top CADR of 600 m^(3)/h. Keep in mind the CADRs listed for these purifiers apply to the highest airflow speed/setting only. Lower settings have lower CADRs which reduces cleaning effectiveness.
I have the Philips 3200 which is very good.
The design of the 3200 is flawed, mixing intake air with the exhaust air. You can turn a reasonably priced cylindrical air purifier, such as the Philips 2200 into the equivalent of a $4000 smoke extractor. Buy a cheap 1kg netting bag of activated carbon pellets and put it inside the cylindrical filter (wash and dry the bag first). The supplied/replacement filters for any brand aren't great. The main thing when purchasing a purifier is that the fan is quiet and powerful, then just apply that trick. Over a certain price point, you're just paying for brand.
Dyson is the least effective and the most expensive. You're looking for around 600 CFM total, so 2 of the Philips 3200 should do it, however they would need to be on Turbo all the time which is pretty loud at 53 decibels. On Medium mode it's quiet enough but only produces 170 CFM, so you need 3-4 units to achieve 5 ACH. Usually air purifiers don't do much from the other room. Is this one large space or is it subdivided into rooms? That will effect how many air purifiers and which exact models. Avoid the Philips 3400, or any other humidifier that uses warm mist / cool mist / ultrasonic technology. The technology produces large amounts of air pollution (or in the case of the Philips, it clogs its own filter with the pollution it generates).
Hi all, I’m in the market for an air purifier, and narrowed my search to those 2 - they both seem to fit my needs. And I cannot find any reason for 3200 except that it’s more often recommended… 2200 is cheaper, quieter, consumes less electricity and filter is not only cheaper, but apparently lasts 3 years instead of 1… Whereas 3200 is just slightly better in parameters. Can anyone here tell me if I’ve missed something that 2200 doesn’t have? Cause it seems too good to be true. Looking forward to hearing your insights!
You do have some compelling arguments here if I’m being honest… I was so happy to have narrowed down my search to only those 2, but now I think I might have to rethink it, cause it will almost certainly have to be against the wall anywhere we place it Edit: actually I just note that 2200 has a vertical outflow, which might actually help a lot with decision making
It might have to be closer to the wall than 20cm, but that’d be just one side though. As for the above limitations - there won’t be a problem with that at all. Here (Europe) the only bad smell we get are neighbors smoking in a flat below ours, so I hope this will remedy that a little, but tbh it’s just an added bonus. The most important factor would be to well… purify the air lol; a friend living close to us got one, and said the air from the outside is really bad in the winter months (or at least his purifier shows that). We were actually close to buy a Dyson, but decided to do some research first, and I’m glad we did, but boy.. I was not expecting so many options. I think Philips is a good brand, and I don’t expect them to completely stop producing filters just like that.
