Recommendation on air purifier for odor
I’m looking for an air purifier that also does a good job at reducing odor. Most air purifiers I see have tiny layers of carbon. I’ve been running a Dyson TP02 for about 7 years now and loved it. Whenever I had a problem with it, Dyson replaced it even when it was out of warranty at least until now they did.
So the other day I bought a Dyson TP10 for $300 (normally $430) and I loved the look of it and it had beefier heavier filters and was much more well built all around. Then I plugged it in and found out there’s no longer any Wi-Fi so that means I can’t control it via phone/voice which was a huge reason I loved my old one so much. That also means I can’t see the temperature, humidity and air purification levels of my room either. It has a screen on the front that shows air quality levels but I’d much rather have that (and the remote) capability on my phone. It no longer tells you the temp and humidity levels either.
So now I’m starting to think maybe I should have just bought a cheaper air purifier with better odor removing capability and a separate oscillating fan.
After doing some research it seems the two most logical options for my use (bedroom) are Coway AP-1512HH and Winix 5500-2.
The Winix looks like it has more carbon so I assume it also does a better job at controlling odors. Has this been others experience or is there a better option? I thought about getting a carbon air filter like they use for growing but I think that’s overkill and would also require separate hepa filter rigged to it.
Thank you 🙏
