Looking Recommendations for an Air Purifier.

Recent blood tests for Rhinoplasty for deviated septum (7 Years on NHS List) show a high intolerance to House Dust Mite.

Not looking to spend a fortune but no clue on costs of somethign decent. As its to do with health ive an open mind to what to spend.

Something like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/ELCM-5500-2-Air-Heater-Black/dp/B01D8DAYII?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1

I've been looking into this myself, especially due to allergies. I've heard they really help, even for folks with pet allergies.
All I know so far is that a good place to check for reviews and testing is HouseFresh.
From what I can tell there's an awful lot of overpriced and underpowered rubbish out there, so it's good to figure out what's actually worth our money.

I'll keep posted with anything decent I find.

Im inclinded to go the 2 in 1 route. As it would help when drying cloths idoors which i do 90% of the time.

Had the https://www.meaco.com/products/meacodry-arete-two-12l-dual-dehumidifier-hepa-air-purifier for 2 weeks now and its a fantastic unit.

Pulling out lots of water from the air and massivly improving washing drying time. went with the smaller unit for space saving. Will take a while to know how good the air purification is working but impressed so far, and can be wall mounted if bracket is purchased seperately

Got the Meaco 12L and a dedicated air purifier (I have a Levoit 300S) and I'd say best to have separates.

I wouldn't rely on the Meaco to be a decent air purifier as its main job is to be the dehumidifier, with its little side hustle to capture a few dust particles.

I also recently found out I have the dust mite problem. I have a couple of Blue air purifiers. I picked them up cheap on ebay and then bought new filters from amazon. Good thing about the Blue air ones is they remember the last state they were in when you switch them off at the wall, so I have them on smart plugs to turn on and off at times when im not in the room (like over night) for the noise.
