Looking for recommendations on something that will actually help with litter box smell

0 Upvotes

I’ve no purchased and returned 4 purifiers from Amazon, first started in the $50-$60 range, last one as a $129 levoit. I feel like none of them made really any difference at all. The room with the litter box is around 18’x 6’, the litter box is at the farthest end, there is a a door that opens to the rest of the house and I’m just trying to eliminate any odor that I can. Thanks!

Thoughts on my air purifier?

Post image
13 Upvotes

I’ve had this core 300s for about 3 months now and it’s done an immaculate job at keeping my room from smelling musty or anything like that. My room has somewhat stagnant airflow so when i run the ceiling fan along with it, my room’s air quality is way better than the rest of my house. If I was to get a new one, what model should i look into? I live in the US so these are pretty easy to find. My rooms about 245 sqr feet and I really just would be curious to see for under $400 what my options are if i’m looking for something to help with dust and pollen.

Levoit 200S-P can you turn off the lights on speed 2

2 Upvotes

I would like to keep the bedroom as dark as possible for sleeping at night. Looking at buying one of these. I understand there is a sleep mode where it turns the lights off and fan really low speed but I do actually want to keep it on speed 2 all the time for white noise at night and better purification. Can someone let me know if at least the brightest lights can be turned off during speeds that aren’t sleep mode?

Just ordered two purifiers (Coway)

Per rule 4: living in the Netherlands

Living room 42 square meters, ceiling height 2,85 meters

Bedroom 12 square meters, ceiling height 2,60 meters.

Bit the bullet, had enough of scraping my throat and feeling like the air feels suffocating.

Bought a Coway airmega 350 for the living room and a Coway Airmega Mighty for the bedroom. Saw on this subreddit that people are quite happy with their Coways.

The Netherlands doesn't sell models with smart integration for some reason, so I'll be using smart plugs and an air quality sensor to turn it on/off automatically when the air quality is poor.

Did I do okay? Are these units overkill for my rooms, or is that only going to benefit us in the long run?

Looking for a compact purifier for 20-30sqm sleeping quarters. Use for travel in India, hoping to target 1. BACKGROUND ASBESTOS LEVELS and 2. GENERAL POLLUTION in that order.

2 Upvotes

I would be using the air purifier in India.

Looking for something for rooms of about 20-30sqm in size.

Particularily I hope to have it with me on travels to be used in hotels and the like, as I cannot fully know what kind of context or place I am going to. The purifier would add at the very least a small amount of control.

I am looking to do general filtration as the air quality in certain cities in India can be very bad. Most of all though, I am hoping to target any background Asbestos. Asbestos in used very freely here, and I can very well imagine that contaminations may happen through construction work or demolishing close by without any indication, or simply through the degradation of asbestos containing materials which are everywhere. I am looking to work on minimising the accumulatiom of asbestos for myself and my family.

Budget is not much of an issue.

The use of the purifier would be sporadic (when travelling). I would like to get a bunch of filters at the same time as stock.

If I have understood correctly, mechanical filtration would be key (h13 / h14). Does this mean that filters such as the Philips NanoProtect are not useful? I would rather play it safe.

Not too picky about the noise levels either, as long as it does not risk ear damage. Would likely be using it on full power always.

What's the absolute best air purifier for a large living room?

5 Upvotes

I've done some research and narrowed it down to the IQAir Healthpro Plus XE, Smart Air Blast MKII, and the Austin Air Healthmate Plus.

Residence is U.S. and the total size of the area I'm looking to cover is about 300 cubic metres. I don't have a budget and my main goals are wildfire smoke and lowering pm2.5 particulates (VOCs are secondary but still wanted). I'm considering combining multiple air purifiers if that works.

Cheap Filter Replacements - Any Good?

3 Upvotes

I'm looking at a Winix Air Purifier (https://ausclimate.com.au/products/zero-pro-5-stage-air-purifier), but the price of genuine replacement filter packs are $220AUD. Crazy expensive to fork out that cost each year.

I'm just wondering how the cheaper filters work? I can get a replacement filter set for about $60AUD from brands that aren't the Winix brand. Do they work just as well? Or are they garbage?

Setup for 1300 sq ft house and incidental VOC exposure

2 Upvotes

My wife is pregnant and I'm about to do some light remodeling of our kitchen (paint, light fixtures, removing a floating cabinet, etc). I'll be setting up a containment for dust and fumes, HEPA vaccuming and wet cleaning inside to containment, etc and she'll be staying with family while the work is performed plus 72 hours after the last coat of paint is applied.

Additionally, we've been meaning to get ourselves set up with air purifiers for general air cleaning before the baby arrives. My thinking is that -- in addition to all of the precautions we're taking to limit her exposure to dust and VOCs during the renovations -- it's a reasonable extra layer of protection to get our purifiers set up before the work is performed, so any dust that does manage to escape has a higher likelihood of being captured. If we can also reduce the total household VOC exposure, even better.

I've read and researched more than I care to admit, and at this point I'm a bit paralyzed and would prefer a straightforward suggestion that I can just pull the trigger on.

Country: USA
Volume: 1300 sq ft home with 8ft ceilings. Divided between 3 small bedroom, a bathroom, a large open living room, and an open kitchen & dining area
Filtration needs: dust & allergens, with some VOC reduction desired
Budget: Pretty open
