MinusA2 SPA-780A

We had a [Rabbit Air filter system](https://www.rabbitair.com/) when we were raising and showing bunnies. It was very quiet and really kept the dander and loose hair under control. Unfortunately I don't remember the model we had but it was wall mounted.

There has to be some way of removing the stuff from the air, whether it's a filter (annoying to replace, can be pricey) or electrostatic/ionizing (noisy in my experience and generates potentially harmful/irritating ozone). We use a [Rabbit-Air HEPA filter system](https://www.rabbitair.com/pages/choose-your-air-purifier) and have had one for years. It's quiet and pretty efficient even if the space is larger than the rated capacity for the filter. Yes, there is the annual expense of replacing the filter but that can be budgeted for and scheduled, we change ours on the spring equinox so it's easy to remember.

I didn’t bother with HomeKit for the one I got. It has enough sensors that it adjusts for speed automatically and will go into sleep mode automatically after a few minutes of darkness. The model I have is not wall mountable, but there is a similar model from RabbitAir that has a wall mount option. I’ve used those in some of our stores.

I’ve got a question for you! I have a bunch of Rabbit Airs (A2 and A3). They’re phenomenal, but expensive as hell. I’ve used some of the Levoits (mostly the smaller canister shaped ones) and I can tell they do not come close to the RAs. Is there anything you’d recommend below $300 that can match or outperform the A2 or A3? I’m trying to get one large unit for my girlfriend’s place (allergies are KILLING me!!). I’ve been doing a ton of reading and it’s overwhelming. I get nervous spending that kind of money without knowing what exactly I’ll end up getting quality wise. Edit: Wanted to add I’m open to used and buying new filters if there’s a badass model that sells cheaply used online or on eBay!

These really are the "buy it for life" ones. RabbitAir are amazing too, at least from a longevity standpoint. I bought my MinusA2 somewhere around 2010 or 2011 and it's still going strong today.

Seconding Rabbit Air. I have a Minus A2 with a VOC filter package that I need to vacuum weekly as it becomes caked with dog hair. I also have their entry level BioGS that’s now 18 years old and works flawlessly. They have excellent customer service too. I also have a Coway Amega, which works just fine in my little foyer, but it’s not as impressive as the Rabbit minus A2.

id get the "rabbit air" air purifier. i have 4 after my allergies went away completely when i put one in my bedroom. they aren't cheap but well worth the money. they are extremely quiet and have several layers of filters. they have a layer of filter you can get especially for pets. it helped tremendously with pet dander. highly recommended them and they have great customer service for any questions you may have. get you square footage so you get the right size. they are based out of california.

I purchased one minus a2 before it had wifi which is still in the bedroom, a newer wifi capable minus a2 for the outbuilding, the a3 ultra quiet for the living room and kitchen, and a bioGs2 for my ex-wife's office that had bad air quality and was able to get locked up in her office. this was over at least an eight year time period. The original still works just like day one.

They are solid choices but very expensive to operate. in order for an air purifier to do its job properly. It is supposed to run 24 hours a day. With the use of their purifiers your replacing their filters numerous times a year. I think it’s somewhere between 3000 and 4000 hours. you can find much better options that will cost less to run and still be very good. What is your budget for an air purifier? The other thing you want to take into consideration, is you overall operating cost. How much is it gonna cost to replace filters on each purifier every year when you run it 24/7. Some brands like Rabbit Air have some as well as Alen that only need annual filter changes but the upfront cost is more. I have a Rabbit Air Minus A2 and Minus A3 as well as an Oransi Mod but it is 2 times per year . Though I must say the Oransi filter is amazing. The Rabbit Air cost me $100 and $120 per year for filters and the Oransi depending on sales runs about $130 to $150. These are just 2 brands. That I have but there are other amazing ones that won't cost you so much as well. Can you tell me what you are looking for one for and your budget and I can help with recommendations if you're interested.
