Hi, I'm looking for an air purifier. Prefer a medium or larger one, capable of purifying a 60m2 room.

Having difficulty determining which product/brand is reliable, and has reasonably affordable and available filters. I notice some products do not seem to have filters available, which is weird, including the latest Breville (Smart Air Plus Connect).

Budget would be $300-550.

Have my eye on Xiaomi, Breville, Phillips, Samsung, but Samsung is a bit too expensive. Prefer wifi/smart features if possible, with dust/particle detection.
Thanks

    Both Phillips and Samsung are good, we have both running at home and offices.

    Xiaomi 3H is nice, with filters readily available. Xiaomi 4 lite isn't as good in my opinion. Somehow a slightly bigger unit with less room coverage and uglier display.

    Check out https://cleanairstars.com/filters/ it compares air purifiers according to your needs.

    I plugged in room volume of 144 cubic metres (60*2.4) and a max volume of 45dB, and it spat out the SmartAir Blast MkII (Without carbon filter) - High speed as the cheapest option to get > 6 air changes per hour.

    I do follow SmartAir on twitter, and they are pretty legit in pumping out great content on indoor air quality.

    Where do you plan to use the air purifier? I've found 45dB a good upper limit to use for noise. Anything more noisy and its hard to tolerate

      Went with Xiaomi. Fairly quiet even on max setting.Bit worried about the negative ions, so turned them off.

          I too am looking at Xiaomi air purifiers but can’t find any good deals. :(

  • brendan0 on 12/08/2022 - 21:14

    The xiaomi 3h doesn’t have all the ion stuff i think

    SmartAir Blast Mk II looks amazing and I desperately want one, but $600+ shipping to Australia from the official site.
    Australian distributor (bstgroup) does free shipping but seems to have the "Blast" (48dB) not "Blast Mk II" (43dB).

    As for recommendation: Ikea Starkvind and SmartAir Sqair are pretty good $/CADR.
