I have a Philips Series 3000i Air Purifier and live in a 1 bedroom apartment + study. I've never had to get a replacement filter for it though (not yet) but I guess it works fine? Honestly I'm not entirely sure I can tell the difference but it does collect a fair bit of dust and stuff which I clean off the filter, so I guess it's doing its job. It does freak out and go into turbo mode after I apply deodorant.
Thanks!! I was leaning towards a Philips but maybe the 1000i which covers 78m2 and is closer to my budget (I was hoping to stay sub 300 but still doing research about the best price/value ratio)
The 3000i covers up to 135m2, I was thinking it would be overkill for my apt (about 70m2 all up, largest room is 13m2). I guess you would place yours in a central location and it does the whole apt? Mine has a weird layout but I don't mind moving it from room to room if need be.
I presume you're happy with the sound level of yours?
Yeah mine is in the lounge which is central to the apartment in terms of layout. The noise is silent unless it ramps up after I spray deodorant or if it finds something else to go nuts over but generally I don't hear it at all as it sits there doing its thing. It has a night mode too which just stops it firing up to higher levels overnight, not that it'd really need to with nothing going on.
