Shame Taotronics got kicked off Amazon. They made good devices. They had excellent earbuds too.

They should have never discontinued this. The design is great and it seems like itd be a good competitor to the Vital 200. It just needed a refeesh with app support. Not a complete replacement. Bad business.

I wonder why the third party Levoit brands don't separate the filters. I can see why Levoit would do it for their first party filters. They can squeeze more money out of customers but youd think someone would have figured out a way to separate the carbon and filter layers.

This is an odd graph. 8:00. You have some values as being the same, but are different lengths. The media (TV news) does this as a means of deceiving people. Are you doing that?

What did you think about how well it performed?

With the ioniser using so little wattage, how do you know if the ioniser is actually producing ions?

I bought the Philips 3200 for my bedroom, simply for the lowest advertised noise level of 15dB. Even that easily keeps me awake. So I can't image how anyone could sleep with over 30dB fan noise.

Can I run the Levoit without installing the app?

The Atmotube has an SPS30 sensor, which performed better on PM1 and PM2.5 in the field compared to the Purple Air Flex dual PMS6003 sensors. I see the Zen also has dual PMS6003 sensors. I'm curious why you consider the Purple Air zen more accurate?

Thank your for this video. My main concern is mold. Which air purifier worked well to remove mold in small and large areas

Purchased the new 32000 Series just yesterday, will receve it tomorrow!

How good are these at capturing VOCS? I have the core 300 with the green toxin absorber filter. I sprayed a little bit of deodorant into the holes at the bottom that suck in the air. I then could smell the deodorant blowing out of the top if the air purifier for about 20 minutes. Are they any good at capturing VOCS because my deodorant test makes me think they're not

MORAL OF THE STORY: PAY MORE AND GET 300S AS IT'S BETTER UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY CANNOT AFFORD?!

I dont' see a search option so sorry if you have answered this but did you look at any of the Alen machines? I have a large space with vaulted ceilings to a loft area so will probably need multiple machines. I have a Winix C545 but absolutely impossible to reach anyone with customer service to get their app to work. They have someone in US taking messages relaying to someone in Korea who provides basic suggestions with don't address the issue or fix the problem. App not required but very frustrating as it is a selling point and I would like to get it to work.

In a two-floor open loft, should I do one full size blast or two mini blasts (1 on each floor), or is one mini enough for the full space

Level 2 is too loud. They should have made a level between one and two. Other than that a good product.

I have just recently bought this and can confirm that it is officially sold and there are Levoit websites operating in multiple EU countries. This could be recent but I think makes it a much easier recommendation, as specially with warranty and easy access to OEM filters straight from Levoit.

I wanted to test how good the filter is at getting rid of VOCS. It wasn't a very scientific test but what I did was spray a little bit of deodorant into the bottom of the levoit. The smell of the deodorant instantly blew out of the top of the air purifier and I could smell the deodorant blowing out for about 20 minutes before I could stop smelling it. On top of that, I have the green toxin absorber filter. Because of that, it makes me wonder if these things really do filter/capture toxins etc. I think they're pretty good at capturing dust and things like that but VOCS I'm not convinced. What do you think, man in video? EDIT I have the same model as in this video.

So is it true Hepa or not? I read its for 0,1-0,3 µm.

Really instructiv , i m thankfull. I wanted to buy the core 400s and still searching the better option for humidification that fit with because the air is very dry due to the house heating system , Thank u again❤

Just came in yesterday. Connected to wifi but then lost connection. Says I should move it closer to the router but where my router is located it’s impossible to get any closer. Any ideas on how to keep the connection stable?

I'm curious about something tangential. I've seen a lot of stuff about the 211+ on your site and in vids. But nothing about the 211i max. I can't even FIND the 211+ here. It's all 211i max. Is this a regional difference in market availability?

Great review, thank you.

wouldnt the upgraded levoit filters which have more carbon offset the benifit of the winix having a washable filter you can replace? also wouldnt it make more sense to put the carbon filter of the winix behind the hepa filter since it runs out quicker and simply washing the carbon doesnt revitolize its order neutralizing effects? then you would just vaccum the heppa filter ?? also im not sure the quality of korean products but i dont see any info on the levoit company where its made vs winix

I bought the taotronics back in 2022 for $75cad, without watching a single review video. It was my first air purifier purchase and I just did my standard research via user reviews and ratings. I got quite lucky in how great the unit turned out to be. Fast forward 2yrs, and due to severe allergies, I'm now in need of a 2nd unit for my bedroom. I was originally thinking of going with one of the smaller units until I stumbled upon your channel and started watching some reviews. I then decided I would try purchasing a 2nd taotronics until. Impossible. I can't find that thing anywhere. I considered the winix 5500-02 unit, but it's $300cad, and that's far out of my budget. The 100s and 200s are also north of $200cad, which I wasn't really feeling either. I decided I would do a search for all of those alternative taotronics units, manufactured by other brands. Most weren't available in my country, but I think I may have just got lucky. I found a retailer offering one of them on sale for $99cad. I pulled the trigger and hope it comes without issues. If it does, I owe a huge thanks to your videos for all the help. I will post back soon!

Been watching several of your videos (amazing and informative!!) and so far the winix 5500-2 seems to check my top priorities (true hepa, activated charcoal filter, decent noise under $250 USD) but my room size is slightly larger than recommended for this filter. Working with a large open space, 32ft l x 14 ft w x 8 ft h. Using the calculator on your site, it's recommending 276 CFM where the qinix comes in just shy around 240 CFM avg Would I still notice a difference in air quality with this model? Or any other recommendations sub $250-$300? I feel I'm hitting road blocks meeting my priorities/room size within my price range. Thanks in advance!

I'm just now noticing your shirt 😍😍

Hi, is the only difference between the SE and the S version the colour? Do you still get the 4 x Carbon De-odorising Filters with S version? Confused as the S version says "The replacement filter for the Winix Zero S air purifier is the filter H. Your air purifier includes filters for 12 months." Does that mean the same 2 years you mentioned? Thanks

The QingPing 2 has replaceable sensors, but I'm not able to find a place to purchase any of these sensors. Any advice?

So no point.

Thank you for the review. One note: 0:01 "Show-me" Xiaomi is pronounced closer to "Shao-me" or "Zhao-me," not "Show-me."

Could you please do a video or review article on the best air purifiers removing the smell of cigarette smoke from neighbours in adjoining flats? I'm assuming the pollution primarily VOCs, thus requiring a hefty amount of activated carbon filtration but I'm not sure how much is enough.

Great review.. i wanted a better carbon filter. Are there larger carbon filters that fit in this?

Excellent review, answered all my questions without asking. Thank you!

Can you review the shark never change air filter the 1,400sqft one?

Just starting to learn about this stuff and I'm keen on the Merv 13 high CFM approach. I live in a typical British 3 bedroom house. Can I get away with a couple of these, maybe one upstairs and one down? Or do I need one in all 5 rooms (lounge, kitchen-diner, 3 bedrooms)? Brownian motion suggests pollutants should even out. But has it been tested?

These look great. I'm suffering from a dust mite allergy which is giving me a hard time sleeping. Just bought one of these, hope it will help.

You're an angel. This is the level of information I want before making such an important purchase with my hard earned dollars and you deliver that and more!! Thank you!!

The fact that you show a different example of "if it's too noisy" in every video is a nice touch - cracked at smile at that. The format and rigour are much appreciated. Well done, sir.

This is a very popular air purifier here in australia and performs very well in consumer test

You didn’t even bother testing the PureZone 😩 So many folks use that, the Westinghouse, QT3, and Medify10, and I know I sound like a broken record always telling them they are doing nothing.

I have measured the PM0.3 removal efficiency of IQ Air Health Pro 250, Smartmi P1, Phillips 4000i + IKEA Förnuftig. Running them with a surrounding particle concentration of PM2.5 12+ MICROGRAM/ sq M and only IQ air was able to filter 100% ( and I was impressed). Phillips 4000i was about 98,87% efficient, IKEA Förnuftig about 98,4%, Smartmi 99,82% Only IQ air and Smartmi have HEPA13 filter. I used Temtop Airing 2000 handheld particle counter to measure the efficiency. However moving just 3-5 cm away from the air purifiers particles are present in the air.

Very informative. Thank you!

Commenting for algorithms

Thanks for doing this. I got this for my mom a few yeas back and it's in the closet after a move. I was looking at an Austin Healthmate junior but rethinking now.

To have such a massive drop in performance without the ionizer the filter efficiency must be terrible! Merv 13 filters have around 75% efficiency at 0.3 microns but they still clear the air quickly. I dread to think what the efficiency of Blueair filters are. 🙈 To me it feels like Blueair are cheating.

The main issue in kitchen is that recirculating extractor hood consume A LOT of energy and doesn’t filter enough since the filter are crappy, not enough carbon etc I wonder if a solution will come one day of PC fan extractor hood 😂

Trying to find an air purifier, which doesn’t really look like an air purifier.. like a plant or table, one which is compact and high performance

Hello, thanks for the detailed review! I can see that your have a clean air kit unit on one of your shelf. I don't have any purifier at my house and researching right now, debating between a kit with merv filters above 13 and a "regular" air purifier. I have seen multiple videos and read reviews, and I get different opinions all claiming to be true, of course. I like the idea of a silent air filtering system and I'm not quite sure HEPA is really necessary to filter fine particles (particularly aftermaths of wildfires, asbestos, lead, etc). I live in LA, and even thought I'm 17 miles from the fires, I know my lungs are sufferings, not necessarily from the smoke but of what is left in the air, ergo fine particles. We are all scared here, not sure how long those particles will stay in the air. Would you recommend a winix 5500-2, or the new 5510, or a luggable 5 sickleflow kit with merv filters (they are more expensive then a winix so I'm not sure what to do). I have a 1 bedroom bungalow, 600 sqft , and hoping to use my unit in the living room, during the day and in the bedroom during the night to avoid buying two for now. I also have jealousy windows so the house isn't completely airtight. Help! You seem to know what you're talking about. Thank you!
