Air purifiers

Do air purifiers work as far as helping reduce pet dander, home odors, etc?
Seems like they just recycle air and may not do a lot to help a home.
Maybe a number are needed, like one in every room to really detect improvements?

It may just be in my head but I have a levoit and it seems to work with food odors. I have a small house so even with the hood vent going the whole house ends up smelling like food. I kick that sucker on high and it seems to clear the odor more quickly.

Look into a Halo air purifier for your unit.

They definitely remove pet hair and dander. I can vacuum it out of the prefilter every few weeks. I have the Coway Airmega. Has been one of the best for a long time.

I've had a Coway for a while. It's always set on Auto, and only kicks into high gear if I'm searing meat in the kitchen.

Have two of the large room Levoit units, they seem to work pretty well. Have the optional "pet" rated filters in them. No unit is going to catch much pet hair, the stuff just isn't that airborne. Does work well for dust and odors though. Keep them running at level 2 speed almost 24/7.

We've had a COWAY in the bedroom and in the great room adjacent to kitchen four years. The HEPA filters definitely fill up with fine particulate crud between replacements. Subjectively, we've had fewer allergy issues since we began using. Cooking odors seem to dissipate faster. When evaluating models go for the larger HEPA filters but compare filter replacement costs. Some makers are out to make more money on replacement subscription than on the complete units.

I bought two Coway Air Mega purifiers at the beginning of the year - one for the living room and one for my bedroom - to help with allergies and a dog who sheds like a Wookiee.
After six months of constant use (only powered down to clean the prefilter every two weeks) this is what the HEPA filter looked like compared to a brand new filter. And this is the crap that is getting through the prefilter and the carbon sheet filter.
I'd say its doing some heavy lifting getting all the shite out of the air.

I don’t have one, but the thread & responses got me interested. Here is a review and evaluation of a number of air purifiers, with relevant data, by “Project Farm” which you might find helpful. Video is 4 months old.
