At 55 I purchased my first air purifiers 3 weeks ago.. I no longer see dust in the sunlight which I always took for granted as just part of living - though I always hated it. I will have HEPA filter air purifiers the rest of my life. It literally looks like someone cleaned the air. I'm blown away by it.
What brand you have?
I think the video is extremely useful with all the feedback from those professors and real tests results! Congrats!
The model featured is Purlifeco Airclear360, while the other model used by host seems to be Honeywell 18250. just look for those with grade H13 or even H14 (is it on the mkt?) hepa filters.
1. I have a air purifier with a hepa filter and it works.
2. Don't get a water vacuum. They're heavier and can grow mold.
3. Get a hepa bagged vacuum with sealed system and a hepa post motor filter.
4. Open windows and sliding doors even slightly (you don't need to let all your ac out) when vacuuming and cooking and be sure to turn on exhaust fans in kitchens and bathrooms. A little ventilation does a lot of good.
Hi，We are a hepa filter replacement factory located in China, Do you need me send free sample filters for you ?
Helps vacuum cleaner needs frequent replacement else it will become harmful
@@bitzerstephen4185 We are Jesus Christ and Jehova witness in Heaven. Do you need me send free sample bibles for you ?
I use wet/dry vacuum after noticing dust particles going out when i vacuum.. if i put water inside, it catches most of dust which is very good
@@PutsOnSneakers send me hepa filters instead.
Don't buy an air purifier without a HEPA filter no matter what the salesman says.
Hepa filter excellent comment you are correct thanks
.....except if your duct work system is undersized HEPA filters are super restrictive and can kill your equipment in other words make sure your air ducts are properly sized
what about intellipure?
The truth is people always choose the cheap one .....
Also beware of weasel words like "HEPA-like"
It basically means "It's not HEPA but we want to legally sell you as one anyway."
This is one of the best portion of your programming. Extremely useful info and easy to follow. Looking forward to future episodes. Muchas gracias!
Before buying an air purifier our ac would collect so much dust the filter needed to be cleaned once a month. Now we clean it every 2-3 months. We have a HEPA filtered purifier. This is very helpful in highly polluted areas
Steven Chia is the man!!!
Thank you to CNA too for all your useful videos, keep it coming!!!
My family live in Chiang Mai, the city with the highest AQI recently, so I might buy one for them. Thanks for the information.
Informative and helpful. More of such guides.
Very nice video sir. Could I suggest installing a whole house fan. It pulls air from outside and pushes it out the attic. I have used these for years. Sounds like it might help your circulation issues.
Air purifier works, before I had an air purifier, there's way more dust whenever I vacuum my room on a weekend.
The vaccuum 😱
Woowww.. thank you soo much for the hard work that you put into the video, it such a informative video and for sure an eye opening for me. Thank you!
Extremely informative! Thank you!
I'd recommend the Alen air purifiers. They're a little expensive upfront but work great, have excellent filters and great customer service. You Also can get a lifetime warranty with them. I have a Breathesmart 45i. One point I'd like to make to anyone looking for a purifier no matter the brand don't undersize the purifier. I can also recommend upgrading your AC units filter to something like a Aprilaire product.
Tbh, the result might have prove Jufri spray his bedroom w perfume before these crew coming in😂
This was great! Thank you for doing the testing and showing us the results. I was looking for this.
Well done, answered a LOT of questions for me. Thank you very much
There are quite a few useful tips in this program.
The tip to reduce mold growth in air conditioner is useful. The best indicator of mold growth is to look at the blower in the air conditioner.
It is good for household members who sneeze or cough occasionally to carry a handkerchief. The best way to prevent the spread the virus is to stop it at the mouth and nose. My kids typically would just put a hankerchief at the table near them when studying or dining. We rarely pass illness to other household members.
Very informative! Thank you.
The classic Benz always catches my attention. Nice one I must say.
Thank u sir for the info.
Very informative! Evidence based research is always helpful in convincing people to do something, especially if its for their health! Definitely will share this video around with friends and family.
it has helped with my allergies!! definitely a must if you suffer from hayfever
@@melo3427 hi I use a Korean brand called coway
Thanks ... I just got one also. Find it helpful. Cosmo brand
What is your opinion about Daikin air purifier ,Daikin Streamer Technology and electrostatic Hepa filter ?
Great video and amazing production! Love this, very informative.
Great video, need more like this on UA-cam
Great Video thanks for the details
I would recommand the Beyond air purifier by Aerus. Great quality product
I really require this channel to test the effectiveness of air purifier in terms of dioxin and dioxin-like reduction.
Helpful video, thanks!!
Very informative and nicely explained since 👍
This is EXACTLY what I wanted to watch. Thank you for this informative investigative work
Great info. Great work!
This is a really good presentation
Thanks for the info
The vacuum bit grossed me out... I'm only vacuuming with the windows/doors open, a mask on and an air purifier running lol
I thought the exact same thing! How many times have you been eating dinner at a restaurant and they vacuum 🤢🤧. My husband gets so mad at me because I demand they stop and I explain how the unseen particles & mites land in our food. Soooooooo nasty!
If you can afford it, every home should have a central air purifier installed on the main furnace. The portable models should only be used for added purification.
14:21 An hour is not enough time to see much of a difference I would suspect. I was expecting days worth of usage before testing again.
In the video they showed that the results are significantly different only after one hour
Think of it like this: If there was so much difference in just 1 hour, imagine how much better as you use it for days.
Though I wish they did an additional test 1 week later.
@@NopWorks not really, because air is always being replaced and getting new particles - of whatever pollution is.
My purifier jumps from 01 to say 38 or 57* - depends on part of the day, as soon as I open the window(s)
*PM2.5 value
Ty I was looking for a good one!
Informative episode
Great video and thanks for the insight! I realized I might need an air purifier after waking up with headaches when I don't keep my window open.
Awesome video very informative, I would like to know if plasma cluster ion technology is beneficial provided by sharp air purifiers
that much improvement in one hour is super impressive ; would be even better to test after day or few of constant purifier work ;
air purifiers are really useful. Helps me with allergies
after years of asking for a window to the windy side of my room I know have a problem of neighbors burning leaves & trash, more dust, and motorcycle exhaust. Already checked several models this week and will be buying one purifier tomorrow because I don't want to die due the dust/contaminants coming from my neighbors.
Very helpful. Thank you!
16:00 onwards is key, results speak for itself. Plus why ventilation is utmost importance
Very informative Channel. Subscribed!
Beside air purifier, our aircon need to be serviced n cleaned regularly.
All air purifier's efficiency is rated at their turbo mode
very informative thank you
im alittle smarter now 👍🏼
i like the end bit of the vid where they showed a Honeywell 18000 model! I'm using a Honeywell 17000 & it works wonders
Wow 😮. That was eye opening hey. Thanks 🙏.
This really makes me appreciate living in a tiny town in Norway... if I want fresh air I open the window.
I do really love your content! It's serious and not the sensationalist BS that most media peddles. Keep it up ❤️ Never thought I'd love a southeast Asian news company more than any western one
For one thing, Singapore is not south East Asia. It’s north Asia.
@@daradeng4164 you might want to look at a map, pal.
@@daradeng4164 see, this is what happens when your parents drop you on your head
Quality content can come from many places. I also found it very useful
I can't relate I live in DC. The city appears clean but at the cost of them tearing down endless tree's to make condo's and Starbuck's shops. It's really bad and I eventually plan to move to the suburbs or a rural area.
I got a winxx..air purifier..love it and my allergy has been reduced by 90 percent ,,should have gotten it many years a.
Tried winxx from costco, then medify air, now I run IQ air, expensive but worth every penny. No comparison
Big Thanks from the US friend 😊
Very smart and easy to understand results
Wow, it's like UA-cam knows what I'm looking for !. Well, I have my old air purifier at home and this main function is to eliminate my pet odors. And fan really can trap thick dust, I always clean my fan every week.
It is also a good idea to Vaccaum your filters regularly,,
Very Useful Video with test and result shows the genuinely a good video.. Hats off!!
Im not coway agent, but i used coway lombok 3 since 1 week ago, i can say that, we need air purifier at home! I feel Such a fresh air when i enter to my house compared to the last few weeks ago..
Unfortunately, living near a freeway, I can’t open my windows and have fresh air. Usually opening your windows is best solution for bad air
I got on sale for Black Friday a Dyson air purifier heater/fan. A slightly newer version that tells you what the air quality is, great if you live in wildfire areas, as it changes sold out. They carry a very expensive version that also removes gases such as formaldehyde too. It helps my allergies and the breathing of my cat too who was born with respiratory problems.
This is an important video.
Knowledgeable and helpful video
interesting and timely
Hi. Need your comment on negative charged ion purifier for car.
I like how she was saying the main transmission method is by speaking to one another and there she is talking to the host without a mask loudly. I like her style.
Dominance asserted
👌🏻
Power move
Amazing
Thanks for sharing 🌈
Great video!
Can you do one with the fresh air system those energy recovery ventilation with heat exchanger?
May I have the brand and model of that air purifier that Steve gave to Jufri used for the experiment by Joey, please? Thank you.
Y'alls accent sounds interesting
Almost like island vibes
Nonetheless, the video was informative
Very helpful... From a guy that has asthma.
Which brand r u using?
@@laineey_ Honeywell HPA 300 for bedrooms.
@@laineey_ I have asthma, too. I use the Healthmate Plus Austin Air. It reduces the amount of asthma medication I use to zero.
During last summer's wildfire season, when the outdoor air quality was dangerous and stinky for a few weeks, I stayed inside with the windows closed and my Healthmate on. I smelled no fire smoke and had no asthma.
With normal use, the filter needs replacing only about every 5 years. So this might save money.
@@rain1956 I see. Thank you for the information :)
I hope Talking Point would go in to childcare centers doing their indoor air standards...Especially in CoVid19 period as most childcare centers shut their doors and windows and limit children go outdoors.
Very informative, very interesting to watch, thank you for this video!
I bought 2 purifiers with HEPA 14, but even with new filter there particles from purifier that I can see with green laser. So it sort of kicks up dust in the air until some of it will be purified by filter or lungs.
Some of the particles are too heavy to be airborne, thus the air purifier mostly unable to pick it up. Example hair, dead skin or animal's fur. The best way is to clean it often. And also always make sure that your home is having a good ventilation all around.
What was the brand and name of the air purifier? That would have helped a lot.
I bought an air purifier which within two weeks became noisy and also wasn't cleaning the air anymore, apparently pushing the dirt which was stuck in the filter back into the air.
No mention of use of indoor plants. I was looking for that.
Omg i love to vacuum!!! Agghhhh!! Thsnks very helpful
Just get a vacuum with a HEPA filter
It’s way better than nothing. I have a aridoctor which has a ultra hepa filter with a charcoal filter. I have 2 of them and it makes a huge difference for my family. I also invested in a uvc light which i use to further clean and sanitize my filters.
It also takes more than a hour. So it may improve with time, my wife’s alIergies are much better, I run mine on auto 24/7 and on high when i need to like when wife is cooking.
Just got my airdoctor. And I do far hate it 😅 it's so loud and too powerfu evem on smallest level. Especially noticeable at night. I can feel it blowing air at me even though I had it far from my bed. Had to stick in my walk in closet doorway to hide it just now 😂
@@devchonka18 I like the noise and air
UVC will not have any effect in cleaning and sanitizing your filter per se. It require sufficient exposure, both time & intensity to kill germs, which is not what is happening when all the germs are hidden well inside the fibrous media of the HEPA filter. Also, HEPA filter is just that, HEPA filter, all kind of other ultra hepa, HEPA silent, etc are all marketing gimmicks.
Is indoor sweeping any better or worse when it comes to those dust particles (linking to that vacuum concern). 🤔
Much worse because there's nothing to contain the dust at all. Good, sealed vacuums come with HEPA filters so the only way the air gets out is through the filter.
Please make / test on humidifier and dehumidifier also, they are equally important..
Hi .. tQ for the video. Very critically informative.
well, one point is on my side that is having a water-filter vacuum cleaner - maybe you could do a demo of a water-filter vacuum cleaner set and vacuum the bed, and see what you get ..
I have always believed in air filter units but my wife doesn't (I have forwarded this video to her). Mainly it is for my son who is with occasional asthma.
I wish have those gadgets that your kind friend, ms Joey, has.
Again tQ for the effort in making this fantastic video.
take care n stay safe.
Razak from KL.
Great episode! Just what i needed to confirm.
They work for sure!
I have 3 allen air purifier 45i and also a air check meter. My house is night a day better!!! Its almost in perfect air condition in my home.
rich guy, sponsor me
CNA always gv informative video❤️❤️❤️thnk u
I have a blue air and love it
great round up. Air conditioning has so many drawbacks, I just got a small air purifier, will double down.
Perhaps it's time to define what is dirty and what is nature.
I'm using at this time peace Lilly's and a box fan with AC charcoal filter in a place pollen and rag weed is vary high so can't open windows
Opening the window is best, unless you live in a city, in which case the air quality outside is often very poor, particularly if you live by a road. even a cheap filter is going to be better than no filter, add some plants that naturally filter the air and you have a very low cost solution
Well that's Singapore and here we have mutant dust. it's like thick dust and there is always construction everywhere and a lot of cars that burn diesel gas so the air quality is poor here.
just curious what brand air purifier is this ?
is there any modification we can do to reduce the tiny particle came out from regular vacuum?
Some of the points are quite off. Our air conditioner has a HEPA filter too, and we have an HRV so there's no issues with recirculating air.
had been using two Sharp Plasmacluster ,with water and the without for seven years, no asthma since, I have twelve cats in my house
This channel is Gucci 👌 Watch from 16:00 onwards if you don't have time
yes but before consider one, get a reputable vacuum cleaner with hepa filtration for daily cleaning. it takes out majority of the indoor particles while cleaning at the same time. absurd thing about most air purifiers as they are usually passive, releasing the clean air haphazardly throughout the room whereas it should be directed to a person so that the advantages is immediate and efficient. Dyson has a product that address this but is rather too small and too expensive.
Check out the new LG puricare. Saw that the AP has a built in air circulator to distribute the filtered air. But mind you, it's expensive!
I got a Xaomi Pro air purifier about 2 months ago, it has HEPA filter as recommended and I change it once a month. And let me tell you guys, it made a HUGE difference in indoor air quality. I suffer from atopic dermatitis and dust particles would make my skin flare up all the time, I also live in an extremely polluted city and oppening windows is a big no no. Since using the air purifier the amount of dust in my house has drastically gone down, before it would take only a day and you can see visible layer of dust on surfaces especially glass desks, after the filter has been on for 8h a day it now takes 6-7 days for the same amount of dust to collect. In general it is also so much easier to breathe in the house now and I dont feel sleepy or nauseated as much any more. If you can, get a HEPA air purifier as soon as possible and you will drastically improve your life quality.
Whoa I was actually considering this one cuz Im allergic to dust and animals but I was worried that xiaomi wouldn't really work on dust very well
Will try it out
once a month new filter is a bit overkill unless you live in some kind of sandpit idk 😂😂 but anyway if you can afford it, why not, but cost will be significant ; us poor working ants cant afford that crap
Is Airfree pro, and P60 model air purifier good ?
