Keep every window closed during active sandblasting hours, Seal gaps with draft tape or towels at window sills and door bottoms temporarily, If you have central air, turn it on to recirculate, don't pull in outside airYou want HEPA + activated carbon, minimum so for a NYC apartment with this level o

Blue Air makes some nice quieter ones. I have a 211i and on auto mode it’s very quiet unless I stir up a lot of dust. The Coway Airmega 200M (and it’s near clone the AP-1512HH) is a tiny bit louder and not as nice looking but is also cheaper.

I'm happy with our coway Airmega 200m

What one did you get? Edit: nevermind see the other comment "coway airmega 100" That's the one I have, was a top new York times recommended one. I recently changed the filter after ignoring it since I bought it. Good Lord did it remove a ton from my air. I need to check the filter way more often Edi

You barely see Dyson recommended because they are overpriced and underperform, honestly. You are paying for the brand, not function.

If you experience wildfire smoke conditions, the Smoke CADR needs to equal the room's area, so a Smoke CADR of at least 100 CFM. Unfortunately most brands only list CADRs for the highest airflow speed/se

Definitely avoid the PuroAir pictured here. It's astroturfed to death, not high quality, and the company tried suing a legitimate review website for an unfavorable review. I wouldn't buy the Dyson recommended by someone else either. Dyson is known for glossy marketing and poor performance for many o

If you need to filter particulates (e.g., smoke particles) and smoke gases/vapors/odors/VOCs, you really need two types of air purifier. Most common purifier brands have very little activated carbon or other sorbent media by weight. They are designed to capture particulates quickly. You need many po

This can be tricky since certain bird species produce loads of dust. The visible particles you see wouldn't be captured by the purifier (unless very close to the air intake(s)) as they're large and heavy compared to "invisible" pollution like PM2.5. "Gold standard" and "budget" aren't really compati
