Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice on picking a reliable room air purifier for my apartment. There are so many models out there HEPA, ionizers, multi-filter systems that it’s getting confusing. I mainly need something that can handle dust, seasonal allergies, and maybe a bit of pet dander. Does filter replacement cost matter more than the initial price? Are compact models actually effective for medium-sized rooms? I’ve also heard different opinions about noise levels and energy consumption. If you’ve used one that really made a difference, could you share your experience or recommendations? Any help would be appreciated!
