Questions? Ask away! I do my best to answer all questions and comments within 24 hours.
Will you be testing the Smart Air manufacturer Air purifiers sometime in your future?
@@user-ml8dm9fz6l Do you mean this brand? moderncastle.com/air-purifiers/smartmi-p1-review/
I've been seeing a lot of concerning hate on the levoit lately due to their apparent false claims of pure hepa tech not being true hepa filtration. Which I hope isn't true as I bought two last year from levoit. I have notice air improvements. But not sure if it's much better then when I had my box fan with filter.
@@hairpunut From what I have read it does appear to be true.
Even so, the fact that it isn't HEPA doesn't mean it isn't effective. In our tests, it still performed as well as any HEPA filter we tested.
This isn't to say what Levoit did wasn't wrong...it absolutely was. Lying to consumers about the facts of the product is a terrible breach of trust.
Nevertheless, in terms of strict performance, the Levoit purifiers are still solid units that effectively purified the air during our tests.

You should have removed the music when showing how loud they are
Yep...you're right, sorry about that. That was an oversight.
I thought the purifiers were musical versions.
@@liannebenn2097 lol
I didn't mind the music, now using it as my ring tone
Exactly what I came here to say lol
Here's what it sounds like "Plays obnoxious music"
There are so many "review" channels on here. None are as exhaustive in their coverage AND test harness. Very impressive. You should have more views. Pls keep at it and hope you grown exponentially very soon. Great job!
You're too kind. Thanks very much! Hopefully the RUclips algorithm will throw some love soon.
@@ModernCastle, Please test intellipure
@@sumeriansumer1622 Thanks for the suggestion. I'll put that on our list.
@@ModernCastle please also test korean's SK Magic please
I wouldn't mind seeing manufacturer's recommended filter life expectancy and average filter cost for future air purifier tests. That is a major purchasing consideration for myself.
Manufacturer's recommended filter life is 6-12 months for virtually all of these (with very few exceptions).
Filter replacement cost by CFM is here - 23:40
Thank you very much for testing these, it helped a lot! Because i was wondering what the best purifiers are on the market at this moment.
My pleasure. Glad you found it helpful!
Thank you a ton for doing this. This was incredibly helpful. Amazing job. Just a note: The music when you’re doing the noise tests makes it very difficult to hear how loud the machines are.
Sorry about the music. It was an oversight during the editing process.
Unfortunately, the editor that helped me create the video no longer has the project file so I don't have an easy way to fix the mistake.
My apologies.
Just a constructive criticism tip.. love that you wanted to give the sounds of the low speed and high speed fans... Alas, the background music spanning the entire video rendered the intent useless... Could not hear a thing
Yep...my apologies for that. That was a huge oversight. We won't do that next year.
Man the music is giving me a headache 🤯
When i saw the DIY air filter lined up on the grass with all the others i got excited to finally see the video ive been begging for for months, so i watched the whole thing to let the anticipation build up, but it didnt show up.
Is there a 2nd part coming later?
Unfortunately, the DIY air purifier video got buried in our queue and I'm not sure if / when we'll have time to get to it.
However, you can see all of the tests and data here - moderncastle.com/air-purifiers/diy-air-purifier-review/
can you do a laboratory test for undersink water filtration as well? not only the plastic pitcher style ones ?
We've done a few of those:

@@ModernCastleoh thanks I must have missed them while going through the channel
@@Tampsey My pleasure
Could you review the Jaspr Pro? Some are claiming it's the best,
so I would love to see you put it to the test to see how it stacks up in comparison to the rest.
I can add it to our list, but I am unsure when we'll be able to get to it.
I love seeing all the different air purifiers in the yard next to each other... It's like a scene from a dream I once had, or was that a nightmare? LOL! 😆 I think the Coway Mighty and Winix 5500 are really good options for particles for smaller rooms for the money. But I would still take the IQAir HealthPro Plus over all of them for particle filtration. 👍
I wish you had the VOC tests on there. I want to put one in my 3D printing room for ABS and ASA fumes
VOCs are really tough to measure. We just don't have the necessary equipment to get reliable readings.
That said, if VOCs are critical I would recommend something oversized for the space + with the largest carbon filter possible. It's the carbon that's removing VOCs, not HEPA. To that end, the IQAir MultiGas would be the best choice, in my view. See here - www.amazon.com/IQAir-MultiGas-Purifier-Medical-Grade-HyperHEPA/dp/B00069EGA0/ref=sr_1_2?tag=mc_1001-20
Thanks for the Video.
I never have had an air purifier but my allergies are murder this year.
I got the Winix 5500-2 and after the first day my sleep improved significantly and my allergies are non-existent at night. I now have one in my in home office and sleep area and the life improvement is significant for allergies. The sensor isn't all that great for pollen detection so I just leave it on 2 all day and when I go to bed I'll set it to night mode. In the morning I'll set it to two again before I get out of bed and sometimes to 3 before going to bed because pollen is worst in the morning and late afternoon.
That's great to hear! Thanks so much for sharing your experience. Glad to hear the purifier is already making a big difference for you.
Thank you for the video. Which of these would you recommend for removing odors from large or medium room size regardless of budget. Cooking odor and smoke odor to be specific.
IQ Air GC MultiGas will be your best performer for removing odors. See here - www.amazon.com/IQAir-MultiGas-Purifier-Medical-Grade-HyperHEPA/dp/B00069EGA0/ref=sr_1_2?tag=mc_1001-20
Cool data. I noticed the PM2.5 and PM10 after an hour tended increase on the smaller models. Is this just due to the testing room being a constant size? Is there a 'time to PM2.5 of 0.1' metric? I'm wondering if the larger units are just over performing for the testing room size and whether the smaller units will eventually get there?
We don't have a "time to PM2.5 of 0.1 metric", but that's an interesting idea for future testing.
In theory, many air purifiers could achieve a a PM2.5 of 0.1...provided it's a HEPA filter and provided the room is perfectly sealed.
The problem is, rooms and homes aren't perfectly sealed. There is a constant stream of new particulates entering your home via doors, windows, attics, basements, cooking, pets, people living, etc. So having a higher performance unit with more airflow allows you to overcome the influx of new particulates.
Please create a testing video with Winix new T810 model. It has a beautiful design but need a performance test video if you can kindly make one. Thanks!
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll add that to our list.
@@ModernCastle I would also like a video on the Winix T810 model as well!
@@ponyl1 Thanks for the suggestion!
Can you test the Dyson Big and quite formaldehyde? Appreciate you
I'll add that to our list. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@ModernCastle Ugh I really wish it was already in this test.
To all those considering air purifiers remember that the number one air purifier is your central hvac system. Adding carbon infused or hepa filters do your central hvac system drastically inproves the air quality in youe home.
If your HVAC is powerful enough then absolutely, using carbon / HEPA filters at the HVAC intake is a great way to improve air quality.
However, those types of filters, which are substantially thicker than more typical HVAC filters, put undue stress on your HVAC. They can cause the HVAC to work harder, use more energy, and not last as long.
You should always consult a local HVAC tech / company and/or reach out to your HVAC manufacturer to determine if and what types of filters are appropriate for your HVAC.
Would be amazing if you could also have a summary in a table of dimensions and also connectivity (ideally whether via Wifi or BT and whether you are locked into their proprietary app ecosystem, or they allow independent local control via something like Home Assistant). I know that's a big ask though but just some suggestions. Thanks!
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll see if we can work that in in our future videos.
What's your verdict on the Levoit Core Mini?
Not one we've tested yet, unfortunately.
@@ModernCastle thanks, what other alternatives would there be? I'm looking for a budget option for a small bedroom

Ty but can’t hear the low settings over the music playing constantly thanks for all the testing
Apologies about that, was an oversight on my part.
What do you mean by HEPA LIKE filter on Core 300s?
That's the language that Levoit uses to describe it.
Seemingly...it does not conform to the exact specifications / requirements to be classified as a HEPA filter.
Nevertheless, based on its performance, it's still a solid filter and performed as well as any HEPA purifier in our testing.
The key stat should be noise-normalised filtration effectiveness.
Like how much can each one filter when at a setting producing sub 30dB, for example.
You'd probably find the larger diameter the fan the better they perform
We don't have the hard data on that, but I do think that's correct. The bigger the purifier, the quieter and more effective it can be.
Contrary to your review, the Alen 45i does have app connectivity. The Flex is the model without app connectivity in a similar form factor (uses the same filters)
My apologies for the error!
@@ModernCastle we all make mistakes, it says a lot about you that you are able to acknowledge it.
@@natesewell9402 I appreciate your graciousness. Thanks for bringing that error to my attention.
what would you say for a five hundred square foot living room that is heavily smoked in? did your test eliminate the incense smell ? what about the next day is anything lingering? is it better to go with a unit thats oversized for the room its going in would that help eliminate smoke odor quicker?
If it's already been heavily smoked in your need professional cleaner services to remove that from walls and carpets.
If you're still smoking in there then a purifier with a large carbon filter is what you need. IQAir GC MultiGas would be my top pick. Nothing is going to remove smells better.
moderncastle.com/go/iqair-gc-multigas
Levoit is not available for a reasonable price here where I live (would cost almost $300) I can get the xiaomi 4 compact for around $100. Is it s good buy?
Xiaomi 4 Compact is a solid purifier as well. Not quite good enough to make our list here, but only just missing the cut based on its performance.
Best air purifier for large spaces that's best to remove cooking odor smells ?

Trying to decide between the Oransi Mod+ vs. LEVOIT Core 600S, as the main floor unit For an open floor plan 4,000 Sq Ft home. I would like to keep the price point to $500 or less. Please let me know if you would suggest any other unit. Thank you, and great review!
I'd go with Oransi Mod+
I like Levoit as a value purifier, but if you've got the budget for it then absolutely, the Oransi is the better choice. The build quality alone makes it superior.
@@ModernCastle Thank you! So my wife wanted to try the Shark NeverChange first since Costco had them. But do you have any thoughts on the Oransi Mod+ vs the Shark NeverChange? I’m primarily looking for a unit that can handle a 4,000 Sq Ft home, Can tackle dust, pet hair, and basement mold. If the Oransi Mod+ or the Shark NeverChange can handle these requirements, great. Otherwise, is there another unit you would recommend for my specifications? Thank you again!
@@Viva0331 Neither of those units can handle 4,000 sq. ft. You'd want at least 3 units to handle that space.
Between those two, I would opt for the Oransi Mod+. It's just the stronger performer and stronger build quality.
@@ModernCastle Thank you for the reply! So, having the Shark NeverChange air purifier for a few days now I realize I like having the auto feature, and number display indicating how clean the air is. I know the Mod+ doesn’t have auto mode but can you tell me if it has a number display? I am now trying to decide between the Oransi Mod+ and the, Medify Air MA-125. Seems like the MA-125 has the display features I’m looking for, and greater coverage, but costs a bit more and seems like it needs more frequent filter replacements. Could you tell me which one you’d recommended out of these two? Thank you again!
@@Viva0331 Mod+ doesn't have any type of display numbers. There is essentially no display. Just controls.
Between MA-125 and Mod+ I would go with MA-125.
Medify MA-50 for 500 sq ft room, good or bad? Too loud?
MA-500 for a medium-size room is a perfect choice.
It's very quiet on the quieter airflow settings.
@@ModernCastle So, I can keep it at 2 speed all the times? It should be enough to purify air. Not sure if Ma-50 is good for cigarette smoke.
@@nebojsa1976 Yes, that's what I would recommend.
MA-50 is reasonably good for smoke.
Are there better purifiers? Absolutely, but you'll be paying a lot more for a substantial increase in performance.
soooo.. which one should i buy?
The one that is appropriate to your size room / home.

What would you recommend for a one bedroom apartment? Budget options to higher end?
Anything on this list that is appropriate to your square footage.
Any unit that is EN 1822 verified. EN 1822 is the gold standard.
My favorite non- EN 1822 certified, budget purifier is the Coway Mighty AP-1512 HH.. but the updated AP-1512 HHS is better since it uses the pellet style carbon filter instead of sheet, and Wifi mode is another plus.
Dyson big quite not in this review? also you should test for diminishing performance over time of the filters. Especially the non hepa ones.
We haven't tested that model yet, unfortunately.
Deciding between a Levoit core300s and Levoit vital100s for a ~150 sqft bedroom to help with seasonal allergies. Which one should I get?
I'd go Core 300s. It performed better than the Vital 100s in our test.
@@ModernCastleI see but in your test list, it was the vital100 not the vital100s so I thought it wasn’t tested in this video
@@asianVinh There is no functional difference between the vital100 and vital100s. The difference is just smart home connectivity.
@@ModernCastle Oh ok, then I'll get the core 300s
I will like to know which one doesn't produce ozone or if it does you can choose not to use the feature
None of these produced any measurable level of ozone. Our meter measures to 0.1 parts per million.
The problem with this test is that the baseline particle count for the Coway are much higher than the rest.
Our more recent tests make a point to having a more consistent starting point for particulates. Though you're right, some of our older tests had more varied starting levels.
In any case, the reason we do a 1 hour test time is because almost any reasonably good air purifier can reduce even a very high particulate count to near zero within 15 minutes.
This provides ample extra air cleaning time to account for any inconsistencies in starting particulate levels.
What about the dyson fan with air purifier?
Dyson's air purifier line up is solid as well. However, they are also very expensive.
At every coverage level Dyson air purifiers were more expensive for the same performance / coverage level, as a result, it just makes more sense to go with brands that cost less but do the exact same thing as Dyson.
@@ModernCastle wow thanks so much for the quick response. I really appreciate it.
❤️❤️❤️
@@pauljones33 My pleasure
Why do some of them have prop 65 them??
Unsure on that
I've used the Alen Classic and Flex with several filter types over the years (which you didn't mention). Living in a major sky rise-laden city with plenty of air pollution, they've been outstanding...very reliable, quiet, and a available in a multitude of front veneers (also something you didn't mention), allowing them to blend in with the furniture.
Nice! I'm glad to hear Alen is working well for you.
so what are the top 5 purifiers for 1000 sq ft?

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll see if we can test that this year.
Exactly. This is a very old model. We have issues with two family members' health (asthma, autoimmune illness, allergies), have pets, one smoker (!), forest fire air AND year-round terrible air quality. We use BlueAir, various sizes. We based our choice on tests that were done in Canada. They work extremely well. The models of the past several years have had wifi and (basic) meters. While we don't care too much about the wifi (We still use a couple of the older models.), the meters are very useful. The quality is excellent, as is the customer service (though, unfortunately, it was [partially?] bought from the Swedes by Americans recently, which raises quality and pricing concerns). The large filters are very expensive; that's the main drawback -- though we have no plans to change, as we've used them for years with zero problems and excellent results.
Can you a review on the blueair classic pro cp7i?
I can add it to our list. Thanks for the suggestion!
Air doctor 5500 or ma112 for a large living room?
It's basically a toss up. I lean towards Air Doctor though.
PLEASE TEST the Carico Air Purifier. see if its really worth the price, its around $1500, and "the best in the world" it really does look like it should/could be.
I'll put it on my list. Thanks for the suggestion!
What would u recommend for a 350sqft livingroom?
One of the following:
Shark 3-in-1 Max - www.amazon.com/Shark-HC502-Purifier-Cleansense-allergens/dp/B0B7SML57N?tag=mc_1001-20&th=1
Alen BreatheSmart 45i - moderncastle.com/go/alen-breathesmart-45i
I would love for you to test Austin Air Purifiers
Thanks for the suggestion!
I have tall ceilings, and really bad allergies. Do you think I should go with the Winix 5500 ????💭
It's a great air purifier, provided it is sized to your space.
Is your home around 360 sq. ft.? If so then Winix 5500 is perfect.
If not, then you want to go with a larger cover unit.
I have checked and your channel and website has never tested both Holmes and Honeywell Air Purifiers. Both brands are super popular, so shy not these brands? Also, even on your website I can't find any mattress ratings?
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll see if we can get Holmes and Honeywell for testing.

@@ethimself5064My pleasure!
The auto detection on some of these high end air purifiers is very sad . I bought the Dyson BP04 flagship earlier this year , all though they did not have any CFM, CDAR, or any of that information , just bare minimum information and I calculated it cleaned 180 cubic feet per minute, which for a $1200 air purifier was pretty bad compared to others. . I just got 2 BlueAir 211i Max on Prime day sale since I seen they had a high CDAR & CFM of 410 . But the air purifier only recognized PM particles , even when I tested spraying air freshener in the room which the Dyson would have labeled a VOC and is a VOC. Plus iv found that both the Dyson BP04 and now the BlueAir or any purifier the sensor is always very small and on the back of the device , I honestly got these air purifiers for my PM vape smoke and the VOC when cooking . As much as I hated the Dyson BP04 i think it’s price $1200 just did not sit with me well, but the product sensor and functions are well designed. Will test these BlueAir 211i max for a few weeks and see if ima keep them or not.
We've been using BlueAir purifiers for years. Excellent -- but the model tested here is very old.

What about air oasis ? They just came out with a new 2.0 line of air purifiers.
We've tested one of their more popular models.

Can you repost this without the background music going?
Is it really that bad?
@@ModernCastle yes, I'd remove the music completely from start to finish
It would be a lot easier for us to hear the filters if you did not include background music. ;-)
Yep...sorry about that. Huge oversight on my part.
11:45 Shark Never Change test results
Did you used to do mattress reviews somewhere until the site was bought out? You look super familiar
Good memory!
Yes, I was the Founder & Editor-in-Chief of Sleepopolis from 2014 to 2017
More recently I founded naplab.com/ in 2021. So if you need help finding a new mattress be sure to check us out!
@@ModernCastle Awesome to come across your reviews again. You helped me choose a mattress way back when with your sleepopolis site. Hope you and your family are doing well!
@@MikeReimers That's awesome! Glad you found me again 😃 Hope the mattress we picked out way back when is still working out well for you! Thanks so much for your kind words.
Did y’all test Intellipure Air purifiers?
Unfortunately, we haven't tested anything by Intellipure. But I can add them to our list. Thanks for the suggestion.
Do any of the usual-suspects of popular models ( airmega 400 , medify ma-112 , nuwave oxypure , Shark 3-in-1 max / NeverChange etc) have a filter replacement indicator that is based the actual state of the filter, not just the time it's been on? I imagine, a non-smoking house, lots of plants, and no pets versus lots of cooking/frying, cigarette smoke filled house will cause the filters to be worn very differently after the same amount of on-time.
I don't know of any air purifier brand that uses a filter indicator based on filter state. I am not even sure how they would effectively determine that, assuming they would.
Virtually all filter replacement indicators are simple timers.
Just as a tip for future reviews, when you are doing Sound Tests, it’s a good idea to mute all of the background music so that we can hear exactly what it sounds like and not have any music combating or covering any of the sounds.
Great job, otherwise!
Yep, my apologies for that. Huge oversight. We'll make sure this doesn't happen again in future videos.
If I understand correctly, Dyson did not score at the top in any category? @moderncastle
Dyson was on par with many of the models in this video in terms of performance.
However, they are significantly more expensive at every coverage level.
It just makes more sense to buy from other brands that have the same performance / features / quality, but are significantly less expensive than Dyson.
@@ModernCastle thanks for your response. But I think it would be cool if you mentioned that in the video. I have a Dyson and a LG Aerotower, saw them on the list but not a single comment about them in the video.
@@ricardomamiya1536 Thanks, I appreciate the feedback.
I'm sorry the video didn't have what you were looking for.
Why do you have music playing when trying to show us the difference in how loud the units are on high vs low.
It was an oversight on my part. Sorry about that.
@@ModernCastle so just remove the music
BP04 from Dyson not tested, it is much stronger than BP01. Will like to see this one be added in the test.
I'll put it on our list to test! Thanks for the suggestion.
Guys, are you NOT testing Philips air purifiers on purpose? For example the Philips Air Performer 8000 3 in 1?
We focus on testing the most popular units and brands within the USA. The Phillips air purifier line just isn't all that popular here.
Hold on here. Why does the baseline air quality change? Doesn't that make the specifications sort of meaningless?
In an ideal world we'd have perfect control over baseline air quality. And while we have gained more control over the years, we still test in a home-type environment to create more of a real world use case.
As a result, there is some variance in the baseline.
That said, we conduct our tests with an exceedingly generous amount of time for the unit to purify what is a fairly small space. As a result, any variance that exists at the baseline has more than enough time to be a non-factor by the conclusion of the 1 hour test.
"Here is what it sounds like on high- and low-power modes" (background music keeps playing.)
Yep...sorry about that, we messed up there.
The two best residential purifier are IQair HPP and Aeris Aair 3-1..
Could you test the jaspr air purifier
Can you test xiaomi elite and 4 ? Thanks
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll add that to our list.
Really want to see you include pur enrichment air purifiers in your tests
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll see if we can get one of those for testing.
Why would you play music when "attempting" to show how loud the units are???
Sorry about that. It was an oversight on my part.
just a tip, you should pause the background music when showing the noise level
Yep...I'm sorry about that that. That was a huge error / oversight during our editing.
Why is there music in this video at all what is this 2012?
You guys so mean about the background music. This must be the 1000th comment telling me how bad the background music is.
Please friends...I know. I am sorry. I cannot fix it as I don't have the project file anymore.
How long must I bear this cross?
Can you test the bloom air purifier please!
I'll put it on the list. Thanks for the suggestion.
Would love to hear what you have to say about surgically, clean air purifiers
Almost all of them are nothing more than marketing nonsense.
There is no legally defined term for "surgical" or "medical-grade" when it comes to air purifiers.
They still may be good air purifiers, but I don't read into any of those marketing terms.
This is awesome! Thank you so much
My pleasure!
95 air purifiers and still not the brand i want to see tested... SHARP
No Philips products?
Not one we've tested yet.
Didn’t you test the Dyson big + quiet formal dehyde models?
We've not tested those models yet
Here's what it sounds like on lo and hi..... (keeps playing background music)
Me: sounds like music to me....
Are you going to do the new Dyson?
We'll see if we can get one for testing
great test THANKS !
You are welcome!
where are the Winix?
At 17:51
Why would you take the time to measure and record the sound of these devices and then play music at the same time you’re playing the sounds of the devices. Appreciate the effort but the execution is not great in the sound sections.
Indeed...it was an oversight on my part during the editing. Sorry about that.
Problem with the video is.. doesn't account for different sizes of the unit
Different sizes of what unit?
So which one is the best ??????????????????
Each purifier in this video is best at their respective coverage level.
Great video!!
Thanks!
How come honeywell isn't on this list they have some good hepa filers
No particular reason. We just haven't tested them yet.
Brondell?!?!
why dont you have dyson in ur test benchmark? its a real filter.. lol this what you used is for beginners
We do. They simply weren't good enough relative to their price to earn a spot on this list.
See those tests below:

Background music while giving sound samples rather defeats the point.
Sorry about that...oversight on my part. We won't do that next year.
thank you for this its amazing
You're welcome 😊
I have a lavoit 400s and two 200s units, my apartment is 700 sq ft
Should be more than fine with that setup
dude are you living in nuketown or what
Because of the artificial grass?
Maybe so...lol
Who cares about noise,. Does it take out vox's , gas's
I care about noise if it's in the background of meetings,calls,etc. Noise is important for almost any work from home person.
I dont want them gigantic things in my house, why dont anyone review one that compares to EdenPure, thats the size I want but the price is high.........
Small form factor units are only capable of delivering a small quantity of purified air. That's why higher performance units are physically larger.
The music ruined the video
Sorry you didn't like the music
Useless. Another ad just to sell what he has money from.
Where are the others air purifiers tests ??? 95 ? I saw only 16.
