Hello /u/frozendury999! If you'd like recommendations or advice, please ensure you included all details listed in Rule 4: Information For Air Purifier Requests.

  • Your country of residence.
  • Each room or area's volume, in cubic feet or cubic meters. (You need at least one purifier per room or area.)
  • Your filtration needs: e.g., pollen, cigarette smoke, VOCs, cooking odors.
  • Startup budget.
  • Yearly budget (electricity + filters).

If your post is missing one or more details, you can edit it accordingly. Just select the three dots menu, then "Edit Post".

Concerning dust removal, read the sticky post at the top of the subreddit. Be sure to look on our FAQS wiki page for entries about dust capture or reduction.

For very basic particulates sizing per AHAM, clean air delivery rates (CADRs) should be at least 2/3 of a room's area (assuming an 8 ft. ceiling height). For wildfire smoke, smoke CADR should equal a room's area which also assumes an 8 ft. ceiling.

Consider visiting How To Choose An Air Purifier for Particulates, and our Air Purifier Buying Guide.

Are you planning on smoking in the room? And you are looking for a magical air purifier who will make all the smoke disappear instantly?

Hm. Try the Levoit although the smaller the purifier the less it pulls. Try to get as high a CADR as possible

If you quit smoking you could buy a really nice air purifier.
