A230

For a 250 sq ft apartment with two cats, I would put most of the budget into one decent unit for the bedroom/living room first, then treat the bathroom as a small odor-control spot rather than trying to run two weak purifiers everywhere. Look for true HEPA, a real replaceable carbon filter, and a CA

Avoid Tailulu, it's a garbage rebadged brand. Winix 5500-2 for the living room. Winix A230 for your bedroom. Keep in mind: Clean Air Delivery Rates (CADRs) apply to the highest airflow speed/setting only. Lower settings have lower CADRs. In all likelihood, disabling PlasmaWave (the ionizer) will dec

What are you currently using? I just bought Winix A230 for my room only. I think doing its work (maybe others can comment on how good this one is for a single room).

I see, Looking at CADR and the like while still preferring the mechanical filters (H13 or such), good compact models appear: 1. Levoit Core 300S / 141 CFM (240 m³/h)2.

You may still have higher humidity in bedding, mattresses, pillows, seated furniture, etc. where dust mites could sur

Assuming similar build quality, higher CADRs are always better. Of the choices listed, I would tend to go with the Winix A230. The A230 has PlasmaWave, an optional bipolar ionizer. Keep PlasmaWave off if birds are present as it could harm or kill them. (PlasmaWave defaults to being enabled after a p

Hmmm. I’d give it another month before replacing. I’ve had mine for about 6 months now. Just checked the filter and I don’t really see any dirt. Do you keep yours on the floor? I recently changed the filter on my purifier that sits on the floor in the same space as the Winix A230 and it was caked in
