    I bought an air purifier a while ago and had to send it back because the air that came out was warm. Being in Australia in a hot environment, I was wondering if there were any brands that you would recommend that emitted cool air and was good for people with severe lung disease. I am happy to pay a higher price for the right purifier. Also one that doesn't humidify the room. Thank you for your video. Very impressive.

      I haven’t noticed warm air but it’s always super cold weather here so hard to notice. I want to start using a thermal camera for reviews so this gives me a good excuse to get one and investigate if the air is warmer for some air purifier models. Do you recall which model you had?

      ​@@HouseFresh I am so sorry. I just realized while I was answering your question, it wasn't a purifier at all. It was a dehumidifier. I do apologize. But the question does still stand. I think it would be important for people in hotter countries to find out if the exhaust from the purifiers are warm air or cool air. I did happen to see there was a purifier from Dyson that could be used as a cooler and heater as well as being a purifier. They were very expensive as is Dyson's want. Looked at the comments when I looked at the youtube for the same product. Some were happy with it and some thought they were overpriced rubbish. I am very confused.

    Is having a HEPA filter important if my main concern is mold spores? The Levoy seems like a solid choice, except for its lack of that.

    • @HouseFresh
      @HouseFresh  2 місяці тому

      Even non grade HEPA will be good enough to remove mold spores as they are often much larger than the most penetrating particle. In fact a non HEPA grade will be able to remove mold spores in the air quicker due to the increased air flow.

    I made and have a corsi rosenthal purifier. However, it’s big. It gets knocked off the chair… and my cats try to lay on top of it crushing it in. I made my box with the fan facing forwards, not upwards so to catch the breeze of the fan in the home.
    Those two issues alone… size & cats laying on it, make me frustrated. Thus I’m here looking for a smaller option with same quality purifying effects. I wish there were small size square box fans and filters to make mini versions of the corsi box that can be sat on a kitchen counter, bathroom counter, night stand, etc.
    I try to stay away from smart devices due to EMF’s, so that is another plus for the box fan corsi box.

    • @HouseFresh
      @HouseFresh  20 днів тому

      This is one of the main downsides to the Corsi-box - size.
      You might want to check out the AirFanta 3Pro as its pretty much a mini version that uses PC fans so is also a lot quieter.
      Its also a lot more durable but the downside is that it doesn't use off the shelf HVAC filter you do have to buy them from the manufacter.

    Hi what purifier do you recommend for cigar smoking indoors in 100sqft room? I was looking at Winix 5500-2 and/or Leviot core 600s. Thanks for your input in advance.

    • @HouseFresh
      @HouseFresh  4 місяці тому +1

      Out of the two I would pick the core 600s as it has a much higher CADR but it’s unlikely to be enough for cigar smoke indoors. for this use case you might need investing in a device that uses electrostatic filters and have very high cadr and are classed they smoke eaters but they are not cheap staring at $1.6k.
      The consumer device that offers a similar function would be something like the Bluair classic range like the 605 but if you want to be able to keep a room clean when smoking indoors you will have to likely have to get one of the high cost specialist units. I haven’t tested any of these so can’t offer specifics but hope that is helpful.

What you think about LV-H134 Tower pro air Levoit ? It should cover 716 ft/sq and the cost is less than Vital 200S. I find it quite strange.

      They seem to be the LV series, Levoit doesn't seem to push them as much. I have tested the H133 and it was good but most of the smaller ones in this series were not worth it.
      I saw that it had a great price of $129.99 on Levoit.com, which seems great for 312 cfm CADR you get: www.anrdoezrs.net/9b108uoxuowBDCCHHCCFLBDHHIFHEE?url=https%3A%2F%2Flevoit.com%2Fproducts%2Flv-h134-tower-air-purifier

      I would go for devices with a removable pre-filter and pelleted carbon so I would look at the Levoit Vital 200S or Winix 5500-2 for the larger room. If you can I would get a mid size device like these for both rooms and you could just use the one in the smaller room on a lower fan speed which will reduce the time you need to replace filter/energy usage.

      600 sqft is a fairly large room, so you will need a large air purifier. This list should give you plenty of options: ua-cam.com/video/pEGpgtxtUOU/v-deo.html

      It would depend on total room size but in general I would reccomend having a device on each floor/seperate room and try to get as big as you can live with as you can then run them continouly on a lower fan speed so pollen/dust is continually being removed.

    I noticed CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) was not mentioned whatsoever and is arguably the most important factor as no matter what unit you use it will need to keep up and beat the rate at which particulates and pollution are generated within an indoor space. It seems, without this metric, the review is only capturing an incomplete result. Your thoughts?

    • @HouseFresh
      @HouseFresh  7 місяців тому +5

      I agree CADR is super useful in identifying good air purifiers and our own testing is often used to check that this data matches real world performance.We have found a small number errors in the EnergyStar CADR database and some manufacters don't send their device for tests so we don't won't to only rely on that alone.
      But it is something we always consider as you can see in our reviews: ua-cam.com/video/9cw8mRx0zHE/v-deo.htmlsi=_pdd_soLzCZfMb5-&t=312 I didn't go into too much detail in this video as it was already getting pretty long but will make sure to include this data in any tables we produce - we had good feedback from someone saying it would be good to have a table of data at the end to list all the information and CADR would be a good additon to here.

      Not sure how to measure that but I think it’s just a soft ionization process that only adds weight to existing particles . You can easily disable .

I have a Dyson pure and cool TP09 in my living room and detects lots of VOC but it’s not capable to reduce them too much. Dyson is cool for the features but it’s not a great purifier. I am thinking to put another purifier in the living room. Which one would be better for VOC? Levoit 600s or Coway 250 or 300 ?.The doubt is because this Coway units have more quantity of carbon. Probably this high VOC levels are due that the house was painted 2 months ago AND there are 7!!! Yes 7 factories around,, and the biggest Methane factory in Europe. I have severe asthma and my health has gone extremely worse since I live here. If I had known this I would have never moved here but now I have no choice . I have purchased 2 Winix Zero pro ( using them with plasma off as you recommend) ,2 Levoit 300 S for other rooms and just ordered a Levoit vital 200s for my bedroom as you recommended me in another video.But the worse accumulation is in the living room so I need something extremely powerful to complement my Dyson but in a budget,,, I am spending a fortune in air purification units. Thanks in advance
    Pd,,, I don’t mind using multiple devices or concerned about noise levels,,, I am rewatching all your videos trying to find a solution but I thing u can help me better. The option between Coway or Levoit is because other devices you recommend are not available in Spain like the IQ air ( not even the Levoit 600s but I can order from Amazon Italy).

      Both the Levoit Core 600S and Coway 250/300 have bonded filters which might create a problem as you may need to replace the carbon more often - same issue with the Dyson.
      What about using 2 more Winix Zero Pro in that room as they are available in your region with well priced filters and having most the same brand/model will make life a little easier when it comes to filter replacements? The big benefit for VOC is that you can swap out the carbon more regularly until its reduced without having to buy the particle filter as well.

      It depends on how severe the issue is. It's likely worth trying a cheap device like the Winix 5500-2, which has the most carbon in a cheap unit, and using it with its Plasmawave. Hopefully, it's enough, but if not, then you could look at more specialist devices.

      @@HouseFresh Thanks for the reply. It seems there’s a lot of misinformation online about purifiers.
      If I could ask, when it says carbon helps filter the odours of the smoke - does that mean just the smell is handled by carbon, and then the harmful particulates are filtered by the HEPA filter?

      @@cadencedoherty9981 Yeah sadly it's full of people saying lots of very different things usually to sell you something overpriced! So just the gases that include VOCs (which cause smell) are captured by the carbon and then the tiny particles are picked up by the HEPA. So for cigarette smoke you need both but many small air purifiers have such small amounts that the carbon becomes used up very quickly.

    • @HouseFresh
      @HouseFresh  7 місяців тому +2

      Hi Lynne, you didn't mention the size for the dining room but assuming its no bigger than 350 sq ft, then I would get a device like the Vital 200S, Winix 5500-2 or Winix C545 for the living room and then for the bedroom I would choose cheaper/smaller devices like Levoit Vital 100S, Winix A230 or Taotronics AP003 (also called Lorell HEPA 420 in Walmart is $79 at the moment)
      I'm assuming you want best bang for buck with these choices.
      If you don't mind spending more money you could get more performance for less found with devices like the Levoit EverestAir/Air Doctor 3000 but they do come with a higher price with less cheap filters but are powerful enough to run on lower fan speeds and still keep your rooms clean.
      All of these options come with removal pre-filters which will make it much easier to keep on top of cleaning them - dirty pre-fitlers can really reduce performance if not cleaned regularly.
      Hope that helps and thanks for your comment!

      Looks like a ionizer device that has a mode that could lead to lots of ozone. I don’t think it’s worth the risk to use as an air purifier. I don’t think any level of ozone is worth it and would stick to just mechanical filtration like hepa and activated carbon.

    I installed a generic filter (almost half the price of a genuine one) into my Levoit 300S after 6 months of use. How efficient are these generic filters compared to the originals. Also I blew through my original filter with pressurised air like I do to my car air filter. Is it usable still?

    • @HouseFresh
      @HouseFresh  8 місяців тому +3

      I haven't had a chance to test many generic filters but I did recently test one for the Alen 45i with a filter from Pureberg and got the exact same result when we tested it in our test room. The fact that many DIY devices use non-HEPA grade fitlers and perform very well makes me thing that even if a generic filter isn't the same grade as the OEM filter it may still perform as well as single pass filtration is not that important with an air purifier. There is a great video on here that goes into a ton of detail on this: ua-cam.com/video/gaQTYrisieA/v-deo.html
      I will do lots more testing with generic filters to prove this idea but my recommendation is that you should save your money and go with generic .
      For cleaning the filters, I would avoid using pressured air as it could damage the filter and that has been shown to effect performance, same with washing it. I would stick with new generic filters vs trying to clean existing ones.
      Hope that helps and thanks for the comment!

      I tested the IQAir Atem car model and it was the best we saw for the car but did feel very high priced for the low level of CADR so wouldn't reccomend for your situation.
      If you like Air Doctor I would look at the 3000 housefresh.com/airdoctor-ad3000/ as that would have enough CADR for your space and you could leave it on a lower fan speed for reduced noise levels.
      But you could also look at any of my top picks from this video like the Levoit Vital 200S and Winix 5500-2 as they are both suitable for this room space.
      If it was me I would go for a device with a higher CADR like the Levoit Core 600S or EverestAir as you could keep your air clean with a lower fan speed so less noisy but would cost more initially.
