Yeah, Dyson is largely overpriced junk with a big marketing budget. Most common purifier brands have little activated carbon or other sorbent media for gases/vapors/odors/VOCs. Instead, they're designed for particulates. Generally if you need to filter particulates and gases/vapors/odors/VOCs, we us

Family room and Sunroom id do the Coway Airmega 350/450. Winix 5510 or Coway Airmega ap-1512hh for smaller rooms.

I feel like I could have written this post myself! I did a lot of research over this past weekend, considering all three you listed. This is where I ended up: The coway airmega 400S for a big open-ish room that also has two windows. This one specificallh is $500+ so out of your price range but the b

I have two Coway Airmega ProX's in a 2-room apt with a 4000 ft^3 open-plan LR/dining room/kitchen and a 1680 ft^3 bedroom. At night, the bedroom unit runs on sleep mode (170 CFM), which gives 6 ACH, and the LR unit runs on speed 3 (460 CFM), which gives 7 ACH. During the day I run the bedroom unit a

I have an Austin bedroom machine, a Coway airmega, and a gigantic Midea dehumidifier. Austin takes up a lot of space and I wouldn't say for sure that it works better than the Coway, which was less than a fifth of the price and has a small footprint. One issue with the Coway is that it has lights on
