      Can you do a video on Brivv air purifier? It uses natural compostable filters like moss, coconut shells and charcoal...

    Fantastic review. Three things to factor in are 1. the amount of carbon granules provided in each filter 2. the total surface area of the HEPAfilter determined by measuring the length and width ofeach plead x number of pleades and last but not least the country of origin for the filters. Some countries are known for particularly higher quality products than others. Overall, I thihk the Winix is hard to beat in that offers a satisfactory amount of carbon granules, hepa filtration area, air quality monitor, and the filters and machine are made in Korea. For under $175 it's my pick. For higher end, Austin air is powerful.

I wanted something that could reduce the smell from my cigarette smoking neighbors, and this thing absolutely fixed the problem.

    I bought the Oransi Mod. I live in a 900 sf 2 BR, separate living/dining/kitchen apartment and have noticed a significant change in air quality throughout the entire apartment. I wanted something that would clean the entire apartment if the rooms were open. I keep my 2nd bedroom and bathroom doors closed. I probably could’ve made due with the Mod Jr, but I figured I’d get better traction out of the Mod. They’re nearly the same size though and the Jr is 200.00 less. It’s up to 875 sf vs the Mod at up to $1250 sf. I never thought a purifier like this would be in my price range, but I was able to use Affirm to break the payments up over 6 mos which made it affordable and no finance charges or credit interest. Just 6 mos of interest free payments and it’s paid in full. Shipping was free and delivered within 3 days of placing the order online. I bought the package deal with a replacement filter that was on sale on their website. It’s a very simple no frills but all the thrills purifier. No app and no visual dashboard to see air quality stats. But it doesn’t need all that because it simply gets the job done. The filter is a reasonable price and doesn’t require replacement as often as some inferior overpriced models. I’m definitely happy with the purchase. The only con is that I don’t like the fabric on the exterior and had to buy a screen to place over and around it so my cat wouldn’t scratch it or run against it. I used a sheer screen and metal framed small reptile cage to cover it. You literally turn the Oransi Mod on set the level and forget it. Best purchase ever. Highly Recommend it. That said I have two of the H13 Core 300 small room Levoits that I bought several years ago and they’re both work horses and still work great. I bought a large room LV-PUR131 levoit that had very over priced replacement filters, needed 2 replaced frequently, and it no longer turned on after about a year and 1/2 of use. Tried resetting but no power at all. It went 6 mos past the warranty. Unless it’s a small unit for a room where I keep the door closed like the second bedroom and bathroom I will never buy Levoit again. They have a 1 year warranty vs the 3 year Oransi warranty. The reliability and air cleaning ability between the two brands is a no brainer.

      Wow!! Thank you so much for your comment!! I was 🤏 this close to just now buying the larger Levoit + the smaller 300 for my craft room. I’ve had that brand in other completely unrelated (non electric) household things before & loved it but after reading your comment, I’ll definitely research the price of filters in Australia & closer look at the warranty periods first!! I’ve never owned an Air Purifier before so I’m heavily relying on videos (this video is excellent!!) & comments like yours to help guide me. I have 2 cats too so what you said about the one with the material cover thing is definitely something I’ll have to keep in mind too!! I don’t think my babes would scratch at it (maybe🫤) but good God that material if one brushes up against it, I can just imagine so I’ll keep that in mind too when considering…
      Thank you so much for your detailed comment!! I got a lot from it. You may of saved me an expensive “mistake” & helped me get my monies worth with whatever I do decide on. Big downside to getting your 1st of anything is it’s easy to make an expensive mistake or choose something less efficient cause I wouldn’t know the difference. Thank you!!!! 🤗💜

      Unfortunately, we aren't able to include prices and also participate in the referral link programs that support our work. Weird rule, but one we have to follow.
      HEPA filters generally last 8-12 months. Some may go as quickly as 3-6, some as long as 13-18 months...but in general, 8-12 is pretty typical across all HEPA filters. Your environment is the biggest determinant in how long it will last.

    • @ModernCastle
      @ModernCastle  2 роки тому +10

      In general, it matters.
      There is a limit to how far the air can be distributed, especially if it's a less than open space.
      Additionally, you also have new particulates entering your space all the time. Every time you enter / leave a room, open a door, open a window, cook, clean, etc.
      If you lived a perfectly sealed room then a small purifier would eventually clean it all.

      Agreed, Levoit's really are amazing, especially for the price point. There were several other models that arguably could have made this list also.
      Molekule is a bit of a mixed bag for me. I know the internet at large isn't a fan, but performance wise I've always found them to be solid performers based on our standard testing series. But you're right, they are very expensive...both the unit itself and the replacement filters. Ultimately, their high price point is what kept them off the list this year.

    This is a great video. I have a Medify MA-112. Of note, the model I have is the variant with the H14 HEPA/UV light. I have a big room, and my issue with a lot of purifiers is that on the higher speeds, they are all pretty loud, and on the lower speeds they don't move a lot of air. The MA-112 moves more air on its lowest two speeds than most other models do on their highest, and so you can get a lot of filtration without a lot of sound. My big criticism of the unit is the short filter durations. They are rated only for around 5 months, and, as you would guess for a unit that uses two massive high-quality HEPA filters, expensive to replace. As you noted in your review, it is a fundamentally basic unit without advanced features, which may also turn some off given the price. That said, it is very good at doing the core thing you want in a purifier, which is high airflow + very good filters = quick reduction of particulate matter/allergens.

    • @ModernCastle
      @ModernCastle  2 роки тому +2

      Thanks for sharing your experiences. Very helpful. I agree with basically everything here.
      Big noise = big air movement
      But no one wants a super loud purifier on all the time...bit of a catch 22 when it comes to air purification, especially for larger areas

    • @npaul4171
      @npaul4171 2 роки тому +2

      @@ModernCastle Yeah, I'm not crazy about the filter change intervals, but the performance of this unit is unquestionable. In a 1,000+ square foot room, the (EPA AQI) PM2.5 level started at 105, the filter was turned on, and an hour and a half later PM2.5 levels were 0. Measurements were made with a PurpleAir PA-I. It turned pretty dirty air into exceptionally clean air in no time, and seeing the number fall (and my allergies improve) definitely justifies the purchase price and operating expenses.

      @utrutr6013 2 роки тому

      I just checked the video again and it says the filters last 6-18 months... you are only getting 5 months consistently? Does the unit automatically say "Time to change filter'?

    • @npaul4171
      @npaul4171 2 роки тому +2

      @@utrutr6013 Medify requires the filter be changed every 4-5 months in order to maintain the warranty (they push a filter replacement program where they autoship it every 4th or 5th month). My thought is that the HEPA portion of the filter could last closer to 12-18+ months, but if you do this, you will no longer have the lifetime warranty.
      I like the unit, but since getting it, one major complaint I have is that the HEPA filter and the carbon pellet chamber are integrated together to make a single filter unit. However, they obviously do not wear at the same rate. They don't have all that much carbon, and the carbon pellets probably exhaust pretty quickly. However, the HEPA filter itself is large and thick, and at the 4-5 month interval, it is probably functioning even better than when new (as HEPA filters initially IMPROVE in their filtration effectiveness over time.) But, as this is a single-piece filter, you have to replace the entire filter unit, which adds more cost.
      This complaint also applies to numerous other models, such as the Coway Airmega 300/400, which also use an integrated filter unit (mind you, it is rated for a longer filter change interval). Beyond that, the MA-112 is priced comparably to some high-end units that use a separate HEPA filter and a separate carbon filter (and generally contain more carbon). While I like the unit overall, and it is incredibly good at particulate filtration, this is definitely something prospective buyers should think about. Additionally, if they are really concerned about VOCs, this is (along with most of the commonly-discussed units on the market) probably not the best match.

    Perhaps would've been good to include an aesthetics mark, that's important to me. I'm wondering how these were tested in practise, surely if they were all tested in the same room one after another, the results would become less & less accurate, as the air became cleaner & cleaner from the previous tests, so by the end the last model had almost nothing to clean?!

    • @ModernCastle
      @ModernCastle  2 роки тому +5

      Tested in the same room over a period of many months / years.
      If the current air quality in the room isn't sufficiently bad enough we'll add particulates to the space (usually smoke) so it has something to purify. Then we turn the purifier on high, leave it on for an hour, and take measurements before / after.
      In my view, the most important factor is the level of PM2.5 / PM10 that the purifier is able to get the air quality down to.
      In 1 hour, most of these purifiers on high mode are able to fully cycle that air numerous times. As a result, if there are still particulates floating after 1 hour it is absolutely the fault of the purifier.

    Did you Test the Mi Air Purifier Pro h with CADR 600m^3? Sounds to be a good air Purifier for smokers. Sounds better than the levoit lv-h133 for me, whats your opinion?

      I haven't tested that exact model yet, but we did test the Xiaomi Pro 4 - moderncastle.com/xiaomi-smart-air-purifier-pro-4-review/#purification
      While the purification performance was excellent, it wasn't quite to the level of the others in this video.
      Though it's a really thin line of difference between them. Absolutely nothing wrong with a Mi purifier if you prefer them.

      @ModernCastle  2 роки тому +1

      Not one I've tested, but looks basically identical to the TP04 and TP07.
      This whole "auto-react" just feels like they are trying to put a new new label on something that every 4th generation Dyson air purifier was already doing...sensing air quality and adjusting as needed. I like Dyson, but that type of marketing is very disingenuous.

    do you think there’s chemicals and or particulates in the air that aren’t shown/able to be recorded or traced on a normal regulated mass spectrometer?

      The height of the Dyson's isn't so tall that it's going to make any notable difference.

      I'm not sure we'd really need a full video for that.
      While pets add something extra to the air, it's generally not so dramatic so as to need a specific unit designed for pets. Any high performance air purifier with a HEPA and carbon filter is going to be work.
      If pet smells are an issue you'll want to select a model with a larger carbon filter.

      "Best" and "cheapest" don't really work when you're up against 6 cats, a cat allergy, and asthma.

      Buy Oransi Mod - geni.us/fZlzs (Amazon)
      Buy Medify MA-112 - geni.us/3unIMq (Amazon)
      Buy Rabbit Air A3 - geni.us/uhXbxS (Amazon)
      Followed by these (which don't have as much air flow, but are less expensive).
      Buy BlueAir Pure 211+ - geni.us/BCqi5D (Amazon)
      Buy Levoit LV-H134 - geni.us/BlJPF (Amazon)

      I don't have a strong opinion on Shark's purifiers. I haven't tested them yet. At least with vacuums, Shark's high end stuff is always great, while their low / mid-tier stuff feels very mediocre. I would guess the same is true of their air purifiers.

    Hi, i have a question
    I recently just bought SHARP Plasmacluster FP - F40Y and their brand is rly popular here. So sharp claim that their plasmacluster is ozone free and certified global labs for safety, but in the manual it states that the product emits a small level of ozone that's not harmful to breath. Is it true that plasmacluster didn't produce any ozone, or if it is then is it safe to use it?
    Thank you

    • @ModernCastle

      AirDog is the only purifier I've tested that has washable filters + reasonably good performance - www.amazon.com/Air-Purifier-Home-Office-Microscopic/dp/B08T21MBFT/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=sl1&tag=mc_1001-20&linkId=e461a95b102cd5f3123a671051329069&language=en_US
      However, it's notably more expensive for the coverage level and the performance relative to other similar type purifiers is notable worse.
      Washable filters just don't perform as well as disposable filters.

      I would recommend the Levoit H134 - amzn.to/3OmLS0q
      It's got ample air flow for the space and performed perfect in our tests. And it's well within budget.
      My only other suggestion is make sure that carpet gets vacuum regularly, as it will continually trap and release fine particulates into the air.

    • @npaul4171
      @npaul4171 2 роки тому

      If the house is new, you may also want to consider substantial carbon filtration because the house is offgassing VOCs, and this can make asthma and allergies MUCH worse (I was in that same situation growing up). In such a situation, AllerAir, AirPura, Austin Air, and the IQ Air MultiGas excel because they all have 10 or more pounds of carbon, which makes a much bigger difference with VOCs (downside being you will need to change the carbon filtration more often because the VOCs from your new home will exhaust it faster). In addition, you may eventually find yourself having to go to hardwood/laminate/vinyl flooring, as controlling dust mites with carpet is extremely difficult. Further, while I am guessing you have already, a mattress and pillow cover made specifically for dust mites, and laundry detergent additives for bedsheets can help a lot as well. As a kid I was in this exact same situation and it was not fun. I hope your son feels better.

      These air purifiers work fine whether you have central air or not.
      Filter replacement varies by brand and model. Anywhere from $10 to $150.
      Generally you'll want to replace the filter every 12 months.
