See the AutoModerator comment. Air purifiers aren't good at reducing visible dust or pet hair as both are large and heavy compared to "invisible" pollutants like PM2.5. See the sticky post at the top of the subreddit and our other subreddit resources on dust: I need an air purifier for dust. What sh

Also, if you have the resources, invest in a good air purifier. The one is a Coway airmega Prox. It is a true HEPA with carbon for odors and it’s massive to move a lot of air. But ya talk to the neighbors, don’t be confrontational, just say what you said here. Toke up, but we got a baby and are asth

With a 150 ft^3 bedroom, you need a CADR of 100 to get the recommeded 5 air changes per hour (assuming 8' ceilings). You could put something like a Coway AirMega ProX in the bedroom. On silent mode, I measured it at a CADR of 170, and there's nothing wrong with overkill. And it's probably quieter th

I appreciate the upvote. I was blissfully unaware that down voting was even a thing here. I am pretty new to this forum and hadn't noticed. Kindof sad that I know that now! I appreciate all your calculations.. I have done much of the same trying to find the right combo of dB, CFM, and cost. And yeah

Well I'm glad IQAir's trying to source more sustainable materials, so kudos to that! That being said, the purifier is very expensive for the air cleaning performance. You will need to run it at the highest airflow speed/setting. IQAir usually publishes Sound Power Levels, but for the Atem Earth only

Levoit will still clean your air. They even publish PM2.5 CADRs for most of their models. While the Levoit Vital series and EverestAir perform very well, they may not have the build quality of the more premium Coway units. Is it better to slightly oversize units so they’re effective on medium/quiet

There's no app for the Coway Airmega ProX, so you'll have to use buttons on the purifier. Yes, it can be run continuously on the same speed. (Manual speed choices are speeds 1, 2, and 3.) There's also a "Turbo Mode". According to the ProX owner's manual: "Turbo mode accelerates the air purification

Great, thank you. 😺 For wildfire smoke particles, AHAM recommends Smoke CADR should equal a room's area (assumes an 8 ft. ceiling). The 3,400 cu. ft. space needs a minimum Smoke CADR of 425 CFM. The 900 cu. ft. bedroom needs a minimum Smoke CADR of 113 CFM. The only single unit that could fulfill th

For your living room and bedrooms, what are the dimensions? This would be length x width x height. Room volume is needed to calculate proper particulate Clean Air Delivery Rates (CADRs). Does anyone have allergies or is there a chance of wildfire smoke in your area? There are other circumstances whe

With dust mite allergens, you can try reducing relative humidity (RH) below 50% for a prolonged period. (Another study recommended RH of 45% or lower if I recall correctly.) This should kill them off. For the bedroom: of the two, I would tend to choose the Coway Airmega 350. You'll definitely need t
