Bought a cheap particulate monitor. The outdoor air here is fine. The highest readings in the flat, by a long way, are when I cook: frying in particular takes the number up enormously and it stays elevated for an hour…
Two bedroom flat, roughly 75m2, and the number one bedroom is where a school age kid sleeps and does homework, so that is the priority. I have one small purifier bought in a panic last winter and the filter went from…
I wake at any change in noise, which is the whole constraint here. Room is about 11m2, budget roughly USD 200, and I want it for pollen season more than anything since I sleep with the window cracked otherwise. I tried…
Monitor sits on the nightstand and logs to my phone. Daytime is low and flat, then it starts rising around 11pm, peaks in the small hours and drops away within twenty minutes of the door opening in the morning. No…
Local shop has a Dyson tower at about EUR 650 and a boring tower HEPA unit at about EUR 190 that claims the same coverage on paper. Room is a 30m2 open plan kitchen and living space with one cat and a gas hob, so I care…
Quoted just under USD 2,600 installed for a ducted whole house unit, against roughly USD 500 for two decent portables I could put in the basement and the upstairs hall. Three storey house, forced air already in place,…
Two cats, carpeted flat, and I vacuum Tuesday and Saturday with a sealed HEPA machine. My partner wants to spend about GBP 250 on a purifier for the living room and I think that money would do more sealing the sash…
A damp patch appeared behind a wardrobe on an outside wall. No visible mould yet, just a cold stain and a smell in that corner. A firm has quoted me for an indoor air quality assessment with lab samples, and it is a…
About 1,100 sq ft of unfinished basement, concrete floor, humid climate, no standing water but the joists have started to smell. The 22 pint unit I bought last year runs almost continuously and holds it at roughly 62%,…
Sub hundred device with particulate, temperature, humidity, an eCO2 number and a TVOC bar. The TVOC goes red about twenty minutes after cooking or cleaning, and the eCO2 tracks it almost exactly, which makes me suspect…
Flat is on a busy road, windows shut most of the time, and every flat surface needs wiping twice a week or it looks neglected. I have had a mid size HEPA unit running in the main room for about four months and honestly…
