Hi people.

story like this
>WE both don't have issue but
>Our baby always sneeze, runny nose in our room(night sleep + morning wake up)
>We tried clean the room really thoroughly, wash every fabric all that. But baby still the same
>My theory is we live in landed house, a lot more pollution from car/motor. (test to brought baby to sister house condo 20+floors and my baby got 0 sneeze/runny nose)
>Doctor said this is due to allergy not disease or anything bad. recommend me buy air purifier

[SIZE=7]SO in conclusion, my budget is RM3k - 3.5k any recommended air purifier brand and why u think it's worth the price?
appreciated.[/SIZE=7]

Suspect is temperature related instead of dust.
Room is aircond? Inverter type? Babies have poorer body temp regulation. Set the temp to 26 27

Filter can check out xiaomi series. Can get the higher ends with dust level display.

RM3-3.5k could get yourself a good purifier. My family uses a sharp air purifier and it’s really good

You don't have to spend RM3-3.5k for a reasonably functional air purifier.

You can try the Xiaomi Purifier 3H around RM500. Filters cost RM90-110 to be changed every 6 months iinm. Controlled by app, quite a smart purifier as you can set when it should turn on and off. Various fan speed settings unlike most purifier which only has 2-3 fan speed.

When you get a air purifier try get the largest you can. Reason being the room rating is always based on running at full speed which can be noisy. Better buy large unit and run at slow speed.

HEPA filter used in all these filters is essentially almost of the same grade. Xiaomi 3H uses Class 13 HEPA filters.

Yes definitely. Tons of dust will be collected by the outer layer which traps bigger particles.

Filters from Sharp, Panasonic for example have "pre-filters" which can be washed to remove all those dust.

Do sweep your room frequently else the dust will just be stuck at some dead spots. Get the grey one, it's the one which is HEPA Class 13 filter



The amount of dust on my filter is thicker than the video above lol and I have vacuum it 2 times in the past 6 months.

Yes, should be able to use as long as you want but of course the filtration will not be as good.

(It seems you can continue using the filter even though you get a notitifaction from the app to install a new one)
