I have a question, I have a stove in my living room and it think it increases the amount of dust in the room. Do you think this air filter would help reduce the amount of dust in the air. I’ve never used one before .Thank you

It’s effective for neutralizing unpleasant odors, such as cooking smells, but it’s nowhere near as effective as, for example, the carbon filter on the Winix 5500-2.

Hi Chris, thanks!

Unfortunately, I don’t have that information, but I will do some research and update the comment if I find anything.

It doesn’t have anything similar. Due to its mechanical wheel, you can set it to a specific speed, let’s say the second one, and then turn it on/off via the smart plug. That’s how you can make it smarter.

I have two questions.
Do you know if this hepa filter contains fiberglass?
And, I read that this unit can be plugged into a “smart” plug. Does that mean there is a trannsmitter or receiver built into the unit?

It’s actually at the moment. Converted to kWh, it’s about $0.31 kWh/day.

It works great at all speeds but is the most efficient on the third. That’s why I suggest running it on the third speed for some time (let’s say 15 minutes) and then switching to the first speed to maintain good air quality in your room.

On level 2 and 3 I definitely hear it working. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to sleep with it on but if it’s normal that level 1 is pretty much silent then I guess it’s great as long as it’s actually cleaning the air. I bought the carbon filter that is sold separately because I’m hoping to get rid of the smell of cannabis from the neighbour next door.

Having a carbon filter certainly makes a difference; not only will it help reduce noise, but it will also help efficiency.

I havebought Förnuftig mainly as a white noise generator to my bedroom, I have one without carbon filter and level 1 for me is too quiet, almost no sound, can’t hear it, level 2 is too loud for small room to sleep in and level 3 is a tornado.

I’ve used mine for about a year now and the pre filter has become filthy and greasy beyond repair. the cloth cover sheet is just coated and clogged with filth, rendering the inner filters disfunctional. no wonder guarantee isn’t provided. Sustainability score zero

Hi Katie.
Maybe some of Levoit’s budget air purifiers, such as Core 200S and Core 300S, or Blueair 411 Auto (it’s not True HEPA).

Other than that, if the Philips Series 800 (the version with activated carbon filter) is available in your country, I would also suggest it as a great buying option.

Thanks , katie
