One thing I've found trying to find HEPA filters is that many reviews complain of the filters themselves having some kind of stinky off-gassing. I don't know what the reason for this is, or if it's a problem, but it is worrying.
Reviews on most air purifiers seem to have examples of exploding fans and melting components almost burning houses down.
It really seems like there's room in the air purification market for a company that is really trustworthy, effective, and affordable. Apple could do it, for example.
- Rebelgecko 5y agoI'm pretty happy with my Coway air purifier, and that seems like the consensus based on the reviews I've read. The purifier was pretty affordable, as are the filters (keep in mind that filter costs and electricity consumption can impact cost of ownership much more than the original purchase price!). It isn't Apple, but one of their models does have a striking resemblance to an iPod shuffle: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61716qA3rEL.jpg https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61716qA3rEL.jpg
- vkou 5y ago> Reviews on most air purifiers seem to have examples of exploding fans and melting components almost burning houses down. I've read the reviews on my air purifier. These sorts of problems were prevalent among the negative reviews. Upon further inspection, the cause of most of these problems was the air purifier being shipped with a shrink-wrapped filter already installed. Unsurprisingly, turning it on without removing the shrink-wrap results a loud and non-working purifier at best - and fire, death, and bedlam at worst.
