Premium 4 Stage Air Purifier

Hi I’m looking for a good air purifier, I don’t know very much but I like to do my research and find what’s good for my money. Im not even entirely sure what I’m looking for. So far I’ve looked at \- WINIX 5520 \- Levoit Vital 200S \- Xiaomi 4 Compact \- Kenmore PM1005 Should I look for something else? I know air purifiers seem fairy simple, but this rabbit hole keeps getting deeper. I have a small bedroom and kitchen it’s not that big, but I plan on moving into a house this year Lol so if you have any advice or support I’d appreciate it! Thx:)

I have allergic rhinitis (including dust and mold allergies) and own a Winix air purifier as well as a Vortex fan with carbon canister. Neither of these has made any difference for me. I generally sweep the floor in my bedroom every morning and there's still plenty of dust even if the purifier or fan has been running there all night. At this point I'm wondering if the electricity use is worth it. My symptoms only improve if I move to a less polluted/ humid location geographically (which fortunately I've been able to do). Your experiences/ thoughts please?

Living in the U.S. and need an air filter primarily for dust and pet-related odor/hair/dander. I live in an 1,152 sqft apartment with 9’ ceilings (room i’m putting the air purifier in is \~500 sqft) Currently narrowed my search down to 3 options: BlueAir Blue Pure 511i Max ($112 on Amazon) Levoit Vital 100S-P ($120 on Amazon) Winix C610 ($99 at Costco) Which of these would be best? Are there any better options around this price point or lower that I might be interested in? I’ve been using a crappy $20 chinese amazon glorified essential oil fan that broke within 5 months so hopefully of these is better.

Today I want to quickly go over a few KEY things you should consider when choosing an air purifier. Here's a quick list of the best air purifiers for every purposes at every budget for those who don't want to read a long guide below. # Best Air Purifiers To Buy Rigth Now Best overall air purifiers for home use are [IQAir HealthPro Plus Air Purifier](https://airpurifierworld.com/best-air-purifier-for-home/#IQAir_HealthPro_Plus_Air_Purifier) \- [Coway Airmega 400S](https://airpurifierworld.com/best-air-purifier-for-home/#Coway_Airmega_400S) Best air purifiers for pets hair and dander:  [Levoit EverestAir](https://airpurifierworld.com/best-air-purifier-for-pets/#Levoit_EverestAir) and [Alen BreatheSmart 75i](https://airpurifierworld.com/best-air-purifier-for-pets/#Alen_BreatheSmart_75i_Air_Purifier) Most recommended air purifiers for dust: [Blueair Blue Pure 211+](https://airpurifierworld.com/best-air-purifiers-to-get-rid-of-dust/#Blueair_Blue_Pure_211) \- [Levoit EverestAir](https://airpurifierworld.com/best-air-purifiers-to-get-rid-of-dust/#Levoit_EverestAir) \- [GermGuardian AirSafe AC3000](https://airpurifierworld.com/best-air-purifiers-to-get-rid-of-dust/#GermGuardian_AirSafe_AC3000) For musty smell and molds: [Winix 5500-2 Air Cleaner](https://airpurifierworld.com/best-air-purifiers-for-molds/#Winix_5500-2_Air_Cleaner) \- [Dyson Purifier Humidifier+Cool Formaldehyde](https://airpurifierworld.com/best-air-purifiers-for-molds/#Dyson_Purifier_HumidifierCool_Formaldehyde) \-[Honeywell HPA300](https://airpurifierworld.com/best-air-purifiers-for-molds/#Honeywell_HPA300) # Shopping Guide There are two broad types of pollutants you can filter. There are particulates (for example: pollen, mold, dust, animal dander, soot, smoke particles) and gases (for example: vapors, fumes, odors, VOCs). \-If you want to filter particulates, the most important metrics are the Clean Air Delivery Rates (CADRs). CADR shows how quickly and efficiently an air purifier can remove particles from the air. A higher CADR means faster and better performance, especially in larger rooms. Coverage in square feet or square meters is not as important. Follow the [AHAM 2/3 rule](https://ahamverifide.org/ahams-air-filtration-standards/) for bare minimum CADRs. Smoke CADR should equal a room's area for wildfire smoke treatment. Both assume an 8 ft. ceiling height. Loads of brands lead with misleading coverage ratings in square feet or square meters. The Levoit EverestAir says it processes 2,635 sq. ft. of air once per hour. But 1 Air Change per Hour (ACH) is far too low; the minimum number of ACH should be 4.8-5 for normal circumstances. \-If you have a significant issue with gases, vapors, or odors which can't be mitigated with source control or ventilation, you need a second purifier just for these pollutants. That's because most particulates-focused air purifiers have very little sorbent media. Sorbent media is activated carbon, activated alumina, or synthetic zeolites. ***Also, cost of maintenance shouldnt be missed. There are two cost components in owning an air purifier. The upright fee and the cost of maintenance. Filters are replaceable and you need to buy a new one when it becomes saturated, otherwise, it will not be efficient in cleaning anymore. Some filters are cheaper, but they often need to be replaced more often than more expensive filters. So you have to consider this continuing cost if you decide to buy air filters.***

Yea, same, got the Winix from Costco, $100!
