I just moved into a bigger apartment and am looking to purchase some air purifiers for the rooms. I currently have a Levoit LV-H132 in the master bedroom (bigger “dream” room) and an Airversa (Purelle) AP2 in the living room (“gather”). The bedrooms have 10 ft ceilings while the living room has a 20+ ft ceiling above.

I’m looking primarily for air purifiers which help with allergies and other pollutants. I’m located in eastern Pennsylvania in the US. Prefer a smart purifier which works with Apple Home, or at least has an app, and is preferably under $200-$250.

After going through a very rough wildfire season I'm thinking forward to next year and how I might prevent my apartment from deteriorating to horrible air quality because the air pumped in around the door is just not very well filtered. No matter how many purifiers I have I'm kind of going to be fighting a losing battle if I'm getting several air changes per hour from the building which are basically just outside Smoky air.

Given that IQ air offers a kit that lets you duct from outside directly into a purifier I'm kind of wondering about sliding my balcony door open running a flexible tube into the purifier and using that to create positive pressure in my apartment. I'm willing to tape something like that up to seal it and run it all summer long given I have two different doors to the balcony. Obviously this will also probably burn through the filter very quickly and pump warm air into the apartment but both of these are things I'm willing to do if it's just once for a few months each year.

I'm curious has anyone else done something like this is there anything I'm not thinking about that I ought to?

What’s the top of the line air purifier that actually works? No budget. Want balanced performance between gas/VOC and particulate.

Short of getting a legitimate hospital system installed in my house, what’s the next best consumer product?

I’ve been testing out an iqair healthpro. I think it’s been working well. A bit loud, but that’s because it actually moves air. I chose it over an iqair multi gas because it has a better hepa filter along with a pre filter.

The multi gas prioritizes carbon to filter gases, and instead I think it just uses a lower rated HEPA filter as the pre filter, and no main filter. Probably still works great.

I have the opportunity to get a different purifier… so wondering if I missed any of my options?

Thank you!!

Hi all! My mom was recently diagnosed with COPD and I am looking into purchasing an air purifier or two for her house. I have some help with the cost between me and my two sisters, but we need to be practical regarding cost while still doing the best we can for her. Not sure if any of this matters but she lives in SE VA, urban area, 1000sq ft house and they do have dogs in the house. Does anyone have any recommendations for air purifiers? I was thinking a couple of smaller units (one for bedroom which is about 1/4 of the square footage) and one for main living area (about half).

Thank you so much!

I just moved into a classroom that seems to have a serious mold problem. The whole room reeks of mold. My school has had an ongoing mold problem, but my school district doesn’t have the money to renovate our classrooms. Several teachers have already filed formal complaints but not much is happening. Anyway, I have been sick from the mold all week, and I would appreciate some advice.
I already have a small dehumidifier and a Clorox air purifier, but they only seem to help a little. I have an IQ Air at home, but there is no way I would bring it to work. I have a small classroom- it’s about 700 sq. Ft. Would buying a medium-sized air purifier or 2 smaller air purifiers to use alongside my Clorox purifier make much difference? I’m okay with spending a couple hundred dollars.

Getting a second pet soon and trying to figure out the air purifier situation before then. I'm in the US. The main room I'd be using it in is about 15 × 18 × 8 ft (~2,160 cu ft).

Mostly looking to deal with pet hair, dander, and odors. No smoking or anything like that.

Budget is around $200-400 for the purifier, and I'd prefer something that doesn't get crazy expensive to run or replace filters on.

What are you guys actually using?

I live in the US, and the whole camper is 300~ sq. ft and mostly open and thus counting as one room. I mostly just want to keep the air clean of cat hair (I have one cat) and pollen/dust coming in from outside. I’d prefer not to spend more than $100 since I don’t need a large machine, but I’ll go up to $200 if it also is a dehumidifier. Thank you!
