If you’ve never used an air filter these are great. czcams.com/users/postUgkx_dppjvjF8BYEmPSDTcgCUdRsgWYLXNHN I ended up with three after starting out with one. The noise level depends on the 1-3 settings with how hard you want the machine to work. You can also upgrade the filters and get one better for pet hair and smells which is a must have in my home. I noticed the air seemed lighter and easier to breathe when running the machine for the first time. Works great every time. Highly recommended!
Clearly the main beneficiary of this video are the air purifier industry. Not that I think purifier is not worth it, in fact I have one and don't regret it for MY situation. Surely there's benefit but this presentation is sorely lacking to answer the question if it is worth it for any prospective buyer's particular situation. No mention of initial cost and maintenance/operational cost. There's is also no mention of basic differences among products to properly guide anyone esp now that sellers are notorious for exaggerating or even misrepresenting their specifications.
Thank you for your comment. We will consider this feedback for future videos.
I have one and my house smells better. Not that it stinks, but when you leave for a while and come back the air smells stale or whatever? That doesn’t happen now
Thank you so much. Very informative video ❤️
Yes I got one today and omg! I can breathe so well now.
That is fantastic to hear!
Great videos thanks.
What do best purifies do best to get rid off forest fire smoke especially the severe smoke ones?
a HEPA filter can remove the visible smoke particles while an Activated Carbon filter can trap the smoke odor and volatile organic compounds.
Put down the fire
You see, if you leave your windows and doors open.. then effectively, you are trying to purify the great outdoors - i.e. several hundred cubic kilometers !.
Well said!
So your saying.....get 2?🤣
I mean technically not really, air purifiers only purifier air nearby. It might be "trying to" but the air across the street never reaches it so it isn't really "trying" on that air, is it?
Thats true. A air purifier is no substitute for that combine both
Im working in a closed indoor room with fully air-cond. So should i choose air purifier or humidifier ?
An air purifier.
What sets off the detection in the purifier to determine it needs to turn on and that the air is dirty? In my base level Coway for example. I'm extra cautious and leave it on even if it's showing Blue that it doesn't detect anything, Because there is so much dust in my apartment and thats what I want to address.
Use a vacuum!
Very helpful video 🙂
With most homes nowadays having an AC unit with multiple filters to clean the air, HEPA/CARBON filters etc, do we need to spend more money to get something that does the same thing as the AC unit?
AC units don't come even close to filtering at a HEPA level and do very little to clean your air of particles or VOCs. Not all air purifiers are good or work well but some can improve the quality of your air by over 90% if sized correctly.
How effective are air purifiers, do they make a noticeable difference to air quality when using them? I would like to get one, though my parents don't think they would work well.
Yes they are effective. Just how effective depends on where you live, the level of air pollution around you, and your indoor cleaning habits. An air purifier is a good device to have in any home where you want remove airborne contaminants.
@@HomeAirGuides Airborne contaminants - that sounds really, really bad, but honestly, unless you have some medical problem, or live in the centre of the freeway, or downtown Beijing, what are you going to gain other than an increased electricity bill?
Yes. My sleep is more deep now. No more allergies
@@ozy1 u said "unless you have medical problems, what would u gain by a bigger electric bill?" .... Do u ever read ur questions ??? If u don't need it then don't get 1!!
I got one cuase I cuaght bronchitis. It seems to help greatly
Are air purifiers good in filtering resin fumes?
Air purifiers with high-quality and thick layers of Activated Carbon can help remove VOCs from the air.
Thank you
You're welcome
thank you :)
You're welcome!
Their benefits of filtering give air are great, but what about the ozone and the EMF? They can be harmful, right?
Air purifiers that only use filters do not produce ozone or electromagnetic fields. Some air purifiers that contain ionizers or ultraviolet lights can produce those things; however, many products emit less than 0.05 ppm of ozone which is the safety standard set by the federal government. Just check the product specifications to be sure that they meet the standard. If not, choose another air purifier that does if it includes an ionizer or ultraviolet light.
Home Air Quality Guides thank you 😊

There is no proper air flow in my home as i have only one entrance door and one window which can be used only half !! In this case does air purifier makes any difference
Yes. Air purifiers work best in an enclosed room. The more times per hour the air purifier can purify the same volume of air, the better the air becomes. If you open a window, then you can let in outdoor contaminants that the air purifier now has to filter out.
@vyshshiva4459, did you buy one and what did you find out? I'm facing the same issue where my room does have ventilation unless I leave my balcony/room door open.
So should you keep your windows closed when using the air purifier????
Yes. The more times the air purifier can exchange the same volume of air in the room, the cleaner that air becomes. If you open a window, then outdoor contaminants can flow inside and the purified air can flow outside.
Should you put your windows up when it rains ? 😂
What kind of type do purifier for asmatic people?
Asthmatics should use an air purifier with a True HEPA filter since it captures 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns in size. That includes particulates that trigger asthma.
No date to back up it actually works though?
In my experience air purifiers don't do much. They collect dust but not much and that's about it. I would still recommend gamers like myself to use one in your bedroom or house but in reality air purifiers don't do what you want them to do, it's disappointing but better than nothing. Idk about high end expensive air purifiers but in my experience cheaper ones do stuff all.
I have to strongly disagree. I was constantly waking up during my sleep bc of breathing issues and Id catch myself snoring at times. I got an air purifier last week and for 5 days in a row Ive had some excellent uninterrupted sleep. It works 100%.
@@youssefhamidi8152good to know I’ve started snoring and wake up with nasal congestion every morning I think it’s worth a shot.
@@youssefhamidi8152Which brand and model did you get? And is your experience still positive?
@@johnbankston72 I got an oransi purifier. They sell direct and its price very well. LMK if you get it and how it works for you.
Someone with indoor cats need it
Yes air purifiers can help with pet dander, hair and odor.
It's runs up ur electricity bill
So it doesn’t work ???? Damn the air
whats pet dander? Hair?
Yes, pet dander consists of microscopic flecks of skin shed by cats, dogs, rodents, birds, and other animals with fur or feathers
@@HomeAirGuides Ok thanks, well I have since bought two purifiers and I cannot begin to describe the difference they have made, its thanks to videos like this one of yours that I decided to buy and actually helped me choose which.
air purifiers are post to be for people who got bad allergy me am one who got bad allergy everware i go is a redzone for me
You do NOT need a UV light in your air purifier to get rid of bacteria and viruses. Some of the best air purifiers that filter bacteria and viruses don't have UV lights. None of the air purifiers I use have a UV light. They are not needed. 😑
Just clean your house before relying on air purifiers. If you live in polluted cities it might help you but it’s a band aid solution. I love pets but they don’t belong in any unit/apartment where they spend 23 hours a day at least even more not touching the ground. Don’t torture animals and yourself by keeping them indoors ❤

Worthless checklist ever
So what is the scientific evidence that they actually work other than “they work’?

@@HomeAirGuides I mean a lot of air purifiers sit in corners and turn off when their not processing air, so unless the dirty air is dirty being blown around behind it they won't have much effect.
What name of the girl
@@slowstone72 🙂🙂 what
If it works why don't make it big and remove pollution out side in nature its just a marketing thing it works like 2% and marketed as 2000% this is the sad reality
Thanks for your comment. An outside air purifier would be a great idea! However, without having an enclosed space it may not be possible since the generate pollutants never stop.
@@HomeAirGuides their is already a company is working on carbon neutral from atmosphere but it has its own problems it uses almost same amount of energy to reduce the carbon content
@@MadhuAkash Negative much?
Who gonna buy a huge air purifier?
dude your house traps pollutants and concentrates them in an enclosed space. Hence, the need. That seems fairly obvious to me.
