Hey you all. Someone recommended this air purifier to me last night. It seems to work a bit different from a lot of the ones in the market. Just wondering if anyone else has had experience or thoughts on it.

This is an interesting review I found.

Looks like a decent choice if you are concerned about viruses or living organisms in the air. I'd feel better about a dental appointment with this in the room with me, for example, as long as there also is a fan circulating the air.

I would not want one for my home, however, because it does not seem to have a component that would trap mycotoxins. In fact, when it kills all the mold spores, they will release mycotoxins, and make the mycotoxin load in my house higher.

A regular HEPA filter will trap mold spores but not kill them (making them release mycotoxins) so would be preferable, for my home needs. Some air filters even trap particles small enough to include mycotoxins (which can be as small as 0.1 microns), although most do not. I have an AirDoctor because it traps particles down to 0.1 microns and therefore can eliminate both mold spores and mycotoxins, as well as viral particles. Unfortunately the filters have to be replaced and cost a fortune!

Hey Bailey,

I really like when they come up with new products like this. I especially feel like the air purifying market could use a few new tools. I do worry about the core being 400°F though, in terms of it maybe being a fire hazard to you, if something goes wrong.

I had an industrial ozone machine in the past that was so strong that I had to leave the apartment when it was on and then air the place out when I got back. I was always worried it would catch fire or something.

Wish I had more ideas to give but that would be my only concern.

Yeah i have an air fryer in my room, so uh we’ve crossed that bridge. I have a true hepa filter I’m happy with the moment. I do like the idea of killing viruses and mold though, but like saraeli said I also heard might releases mycotoxins when dead, or wifi miht make them release toxins…. But then they might also do so when left living just over a longer period? Maybe I’ll ask my doc about it. I think my doc like the molecule.
