By the way, we bought every air purifier on the list with our own money and have no sponsorship deals or partnerships with manufacturers. Everything Danny covers is based on our experience and first-hand data.
If you have any questions for Danny about the models we shortlisted (or about air purifiers in general), drop them in the comments, and he will get back to you as soon as possible.
Our tests reveal what manufacturers won’t tell you.

What about the Levoit core 300? Isnt it on par with the xiaomi 4 compact?
This video was so helpful! Am I wondering what your thoughts might be on an air purifier that would be good for people with cats. I have 2 and the litter boxes are the concern. Loved the video!
i am so confused with so many brands and many models. i just need one and have to stay on a budjet but idk which one. thank you a lot for helping us!!!
Die Aktivkohle Filter sind nicht waschbar. Dies beruht auf Falschhinweisen auf Amazon. Und dies betrifft nur älterere Winix Modelle und dies auch nur teilweise. Außerdem wird nur der Staub durch Waschen entfernt, keinerlei Gerüche oder Kontaminationen. Gruß eines Ingenieurs.
Im Zweifelsfall fallen die Aktivkohle Pellets auseinander. 😂
Ansonsten: super Content. 😊
Und es gibt keine originalen Aktivkohle Filter separat im Nachkauf. Dies schmälert das Argument getrennter Filter.
