I would pick the 5500-2 due to the fact it will come with the pelleted carbon filter vs the fabric carbon.

@HouseFresh how about 5300 or 5500? I really appreciate your help.

The problem is that HEPA reduces airflow by quite a bit so you need bigger fans to push enough air through. With smaller devices you are better are with lower grade particle filters to get a more effective air purifier.

Best for a smaller room. It’s very similar to the 211 tech so depends on if you are good with the ionizer used all the time.

Will check them out! thanks for sharing.

What is your professional recommendation🙏for wildfires specifically where entire 10000+buildings/neighborhoods burned down like in California currently?😔

@IntegrityMeansAll The ideal ap 40 pro has over 600m³/h. Thats massive. Even more then the vsst levoit. Paired with the best air purification is this the best purifier. Maybe make some research to compare it to the 50 pro or even 60 pro. They may be better...

Looks like a good CADR for the price of 200 euros, but they say it's 433,3 m3/h for the Ideal AP40 Pro. The carbon looks impregnated, though fabric which usually isn't as effective as pelleted type. Can you share the study that compared the formaldehyde, gases and toluol with this unit vs the Levoit Core units? Thanks for sharing this brand, as I have not seen it before - I will look at testing at some point in the future and comparing it with the other air purifiers we have reviewed.

@@HouseFresh Which one would you recommend in this specific case? I also mentioned more details in the other response in regards to all the heavy metals toxins etc..😔

@@IntegrityMeansAll For VOC's I would look at something like the IQAir GC Multigas but be aware you would still need to have a device for removing particles. The IQAir Healthpro plus has 5lbs of carbon and Hyper HEPA which might be a good middle ground. Be aware they are not cheap but outside of a having a custom HVAC system this are the best devices on the market.

I am in the process of working on our review for the 5510 which I think is very similar to the 5520 but with a different design. Uses same filter, CADR, wattage...etc Hopefully will come to the UK but will have my review out in a few weeks.

Haven’t yet but will do at some point. I think it’s quite similar to the 800 series.

Those that use the good sensors like Plan tower and sensiron are pretty accurate.

Yes this is a good benefit although 2 inch filters are even hard to find outside of US.

Looks interesting design is similar to this model. Will try to get to soon.

Thank you and I am super happy to see so many people enjoying our reviews - i always assumed it would only be a tiny niche but every day I am so happy to see more people subscribe and like :D I haven't heard about the issues with the antimold filter although I would expect if any is emitted it would also be caught by the particle filter so likely to be removed very quickly. If you are concerend then just stick with the regular filter.

Due to the way particle filters work, all of them work well against smaller particles than the .3 microns. If yuo are concerned about first pass filtration only - then a higher grade of HEPA would be better so the Winix. But air purifier work with many passes of air so first pass % isn't as important as lower grade means more airflow so quicker to clean.

It's something we want to work on as it's one of the things that many of the manufacturers say about their filters, that they keep efficiency even when used vs other models. I worry that the Austin carbon element would get used up as, in my experience, I just can't imagine it holding for 5 years even with the amount you get - but I need to test this to be sure. I am actually testing out the Dyson BP06 at the moment, and it seems to only have a CO2 sensor. Which Dyson big and quiet model do you have? Has it got a particle sensor?

Dyson is wack

What size is your space. Would need carbon for gases so any device with a large carbon filter so iqair healthpro. If only gas you could look at iqair gc gas.

@HouseFresh Thanks for the answer. Ca 24 m²... And Levoit air purifiers? Arent they as good for this purpose?

Somethig like the Core 400S with the smoke away filter should be a good fair priced solution to what you need. You would run it on speed 2 and it would be quiet background or top speed when you want to clean quicker. The auto-mode is also quite good as you can set it to be extra sensitive, so it will go 100% removed when it detects particles from the 3d printer. Most other automodes never go to full speed which would be annoying in your use case.

@HouseFresh Thanks. Im a bit concerned about the quality. For VOC you need a lot of carbone and there is nothing where i can check the amount or thickness of the carbone.

@Bloedelithiqair shares they use 5.5lbs of carbon in their health pro plus .

Will be out soon, finished filming this week. Keep an eye out.

@@HouseFresh 🙏

Interesting great to see it being available outside US.

Agree the unbonded filter on the Winix 5500-2 are a great benefit. But think that most consumer just want much smaller which is why we see so many cylinder design. It’s a particle sensor so quicker than gas sensor and also has the night detection. Your home air sounds great 😌 thanks for you kind words we hope to keep Improving videos in future but your words mean a ton!

True if the sound isn’t an issue you get more bang for your buck from Winix.

Was a US voltage but have a converter to power to run. I’m the early days I broke an air purifier using a basic travel adapter so always recommend the us to uk converter. 🙃

Yeah a great unit! 🤜

Sorry to hear that, you should reach out to Adam Wong at Air Fanta as he may have had some early models with issues and hopefully can make it right with you.

Good ear, I am don't think that there was paper but will check. We have been running it everyday and I don't recall this sound now so might be something that fixed itself. Will be sure to re-record it running so I can share.

Thanks for letting know I didn't know they were rolling out a subscription. Purpleair doesn't have anything to my knowledge but their api requirment. I just got a Home Assistant Green and saw you can connect with Purpleair but does look quite complex - www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/tbhdvb/tutorial_complete_detailed_purpleair_integration/ I assume Purpleair already monetizes the sensor data so likely won't roll out a subscription.

@@HouseFresh I’ve been looking at the Apollo Air-1 for the home assistant but I’m just getting into this but that route would not have a subscription but I’d have to pay for the electricity to power the home assistant 😂

Haha yeah should be a lot less 😂

For a shedding dog I would look at a rectangular design as you can a removable pre-filter. So devices like the Winix 5500-2, Coway Might 200M, Coway 250...etc As dog hair will build up on the filter and something removal is a bit easier. The XiaoMi Pro 4 and Levoit 400s will both do a good job with the allergens from your dog.

If you just want a just one unit I would look into the top CADR models from the main brands.All of these seem to have sweden ecom sites: Levoit EverestAir (tested and liked it), have not tested the IQAir Atem X as its quite pricey but could also fit what you need with a very high CADR. Depending on the room size you might need multiple devices - you find out what CADR you need for specific air changes for your space. I would max out the ceiling to 9ft as the vaulted ceiling will also provide ventialtion benefits.

Main difference between the two is that the Zero S comes with an impregnated fabric carbon filter vs the pelleted you get with the 5500-2. I prefer the pelleted carbon.

Sorry the 5300 also comes with the fabric also so main difference is design and the zero s has a particle sensor vs the gas sensor you get with the 5300-3.

In general particle sensors kick in quicker vs gas sensor. Downside is that you do need to keep the particle sensor area clean every 2-3 months which you don’t with the gas sensor.

Thanks. I guess it depends if odour control is more important rather than HEPA filtering the air to the purchaser. My aim was to help pets with their breathing so I bought the Zero S. I don't think I've noticed much of a difference and I don't know whether other Winix air purifiers would be any better. I'm also a little unsure whether there are similarly priced APs that also have positive and negative ion generation like the winix series. Most I've seen seem to only generate negative ions. I think I'd like a second AP for upstairs but not if it's only as effective as the Zero S.

Not tested but had people on here ask about Daiken. They also seem to use a posistive and negation ion generation as you get with Plasmwave. If do get be sure to let me know how you get on as I do want to test at some point.

Glad it was helpful!

The C909 can use the same sized filters so likely more similar to that. The 5510 is the new version fo the 5500-2 but uses different filters.

They state that it's HEPA when running on sleep mode.

As it includes an ionizer I felt that the Levoit Vital 200S was a better option but I still am a big fan of the 5500-2. The A230 is good but as with all smaller air purifiers, I reccomend most people go for a mid sized unit as they cost similar to run and you get more air cleaning power. We recently updated our web version of this list that might be useful: housefresh.com/best-air-purifiers-we-tested/

That's why I recommend sticking with brands that have existed for a long time. I still have an Alen A350 that was first sold in 2010, and you can still buy filters today. Same with the IQAir healthpro plus released in 1998 - the filters sold now still work with it. But agree it's a bit risky with new brands as they often sell tons and close down a few years later.

@HouseFresh I appreciate you answering I am pretty new in the field. I live in Swe(eu). Im looking for something relative new a year maybe 2 year old modell. I dont really care about cost more quality, effectivness and most important futureproof (filter availability now and future). Do you have any modells recommend? I have checked out some models but when I try get filters by searching google or amazons I have not found a modell yet with several retailers.

It’s costly but look into the iqair atem x or iqair healthpro as they will have filters forever.

Working on this week !

Been writing up this review this week so hope to get the review of the 5510 out in the next few weeks.

Yeah same I would love to get more for friends and family but just too high cost plus hvac filters are hard to get also.

You're welcome!

Your welcome.

Great to hear 💪

We have tested Pureburg filters for quite a few different models and found that performance was good although a little slower with particles as they seem to contain more carbon or maybe higher grade filter. I doubt there will be any danger to the device to use with generic filters and as our tests have shown lower grade filters can actually be quicker at removing particles than higher grade. I do want to put a video together that compares lots of different generic filters but it's taking a while!

Glad you think so!

I think so as its cleans a bit quicker and you benefit from the removal pre-filter. But does take up more floor space. I am in the process fo testing the airmega 100 but will be a while before the review is live.

Sorry to hear that! I do think they should be clearer in their marketing.

I think you made the right call as long term it will cost the same to run and you can use your 200 in lower fan speed and get more air cleaning power than what you get for the 100.But agree smaller would be better!

It does seem weird as I have seen tons of terrible product/companies doing really well with Amazon.

Agree its a shame as it's a really well built machine!. But winix are good for keeping filters available for older devices at least.

Am going to sharing this idea in a video, hopefully Winix sees it and brings us the Winix Zero Pro 2!

In testing, I found that unbonded filters perform worse, so this might be one reason that generic filters are avoided. I did see some people making their own carbon filters by cutting fabric to the correct size but seems with Levoit you are forced to go down the bonded route even with non first party filters.
