160

I literally just got a new air purifier after doing an absurd amount of research, and the amount of information can be a bit overwhelming, especially when trying to find something bird-safe. So I'm hoping some of my research can help you avoid the amount of digging I had to do haha. I just got a Hon

I bought Vital 100S for 160€ and 2 days after Coway Airmega Mighty AP-1512HH is on sale for 168€. Now im frustrated and temped to buy it :D Mine had no smell, its plug and play. And it works decent. On setting 2 its great for sleeping and i left it run all night. Maybe its placebo but i slept really

To start, apply the AHAM 2/3 rule described in the AutoMod comment. Since your ceilings are slightly higher, we have to calculate by room volume to get a "readjusted" coverage rating. 1,040.4 cu. ft. ÷ 8 ft. = 130.05 sq. ft. 130.05 sq. ft. ÷ 1.5 = 86.7. Round up to get bare minimum CADRs of 87 CFM.

For odors ventilation may help more than an air purifier. Opening windows on occasion, using fans to move air out + new air in. Your exhaust is usually in the vent above your bathroom. Where "old" air will get sucked out. You also might have another vent above your oven, the hood range. (Which has a

Levoit Vital 200s is a very good one for bedroom. As it will give you excellent air quality for that size. Smaller but still good is Levoit Core 300.

If you want excellent coverage you probably want something rated for 3,000 sq. Ft. (6x air changes per hour x 500sq foot room size.) 6 ACH is excellent. 4 or 4.8 is "good" depending on the metric. So a Levoit Core 600 is rated for 3,000 and would be a great choice imo. Although if the bed room is 40

the carbon filter not being "useless" thing - im with ya. thin carbon pre-filters on budget units are largely decorative, but the Airmega 160 has a more substantial carbon stage than most at that price point. if its making a difference on smell, its working. for a post-renovation situation with asth

Due to over-researching and some analysis paralysis, I needed to step away from air purifier research and come back to it with fresh eyes. Also searching different terms in Reddit (+ on Google instead of on Reddit) brought me to some new posts. Dropping some links here in case it helps anyone else.

I would definitely stick with Coway as a brand because it's higher quality. I don't know how well their models resistant dirty air bypass. Medify Air has a reputation for being quite loud. The Levoit Core 600S is very likely to be lower quality than Coway. I would consider Clean Air Delivery Rates (
