Yeah, wildfire smoke is rough. The main thing is True HEPA - that's what actually catches the tiny smoke particles. I've been using the Levoit Vital 200S-P. It's got a smoke CADR of 250, auto mode, and sleep mode is super quiet (24dB). Around $180. Coway AP-1512HH is also a classic - people have bee

Oversizing is far better than undersizing. If anything, using Auto might be running too low a setting at times. The sensors onboard purifiers are very cheap and can be inaccurate. For 213 sq. ft. room with 9 ft. ceilings, you need a minimum of 160 CFM CADRs. This increases if you have allergies, hea

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.

Those are all great brands and you can’t go wrong with them. People will have their personal preferences or opinions, but in general those are very solid brands that work well. Coway only has WiFi on some of their models, and if you’re trying to maximize CADR and value with WiFi and a good app, I’d

I’m only familiar with the Coway. I have a Coway Airmega 200M, I actually just replaced the filters yesterday. The whole set of filters was $60, the unit itself was I think $200. It has an ionizer but you can turn it off. I also have a Levoit Vital 200s, it was under $200 and the filters are about $

Please see the AutoModerator comment for our sub's resources about dust. Air purifiers aren't good at removing visible dust because it's large and heavy compared to "invisible" pollutants. Do you have elevated levels of VOCs? Our first recommendations are source control and ventilation where possibl

I just read your other post asking about Blueair vs. Coway. Almost none of the common brands (Coway, Winix, Blueair, Medify Air, Smart Air, Honeywell, Dyson, Levoit, etc.) have meaningful amounts of activated carbon to remedy odor problems. These brands are focused on particulates, not gases/vapors/
