Medify Air
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- I have a small room where I keep the cats' litter boxes, a HEPA filter is running in there constantly, the small Medify Air one, having it is the difference between wanting to vomit or not, it was under $100.
- Secondly, stick to more well-known brands such as Coway, IQAir, Smart Air, Winix, Medify Air, Levoit (Vital series or EverestAir), Alen, or Blueair where possible for particulates removal.
Cons
- Blueair—alongside brands like Coway, Winix, Philips, Medify Air, Smart Air, Levoit, Honeywell, and similar—have very little activated carbon by weight.
- Unfortunately most purifier brands (ex: Winix, Coway, Blueair, Levoit, Philips, Honeywell, Smart Air, Medify Air, etc.) have very little activated carbon or other sorbent media by weight for gases/vapors/odors/VOCs.
- I contacted Blueair, Coway, Winix, Levoit, Smart Air, and Medify Air about this. All of them recommended against placing their HEPA filters (or HEPA-like as the case may be for Levoit) in the sun because UV rays can damage the filter media.
- As for odors and a "fresh" smelling home, most common purifier brands have very little activated carbon or other sorbent media for gases/vapors/odors. This includes the two Winix models in addition to brands like Levoit, Coway, Medify Ai...
- Medify Air has a reputation for being quite loud.

Most common purifier brands (Levoit, Winix, Coway, Smart Air, Honeywell, Medify Air, etc.) have very little activated carbon or other sorbent media by weight for gases, vapors, or odors. These units are designed to capture particulates.
Medify Air has a reputation for be quite to very loud on the highest setting. The MA-112 PRO's sound level specs must be a misprint.
