How often do you replace the filter?

The diminishing returns on these high priced air purifiers drops off a cliff after about $50. Spending anything higher than that, you're buying a name. Even the Dyson reps won't argue against that when asked why a lasko fan and filter outperforms their $750 high end products.
A $20 lasko fan with a $20 filter from Walmart beats out $700+ air purifiers. So if noise isn't an issue I suggest going that route.
This is my ghetto air 3000 (https://i.imgur.com/cCVw1AP.png), runs like a champ and gives me real fast air cycles in the house.
The good news is the Blueair performs very well in their tests as you can see.
If you're gonna buy an air purifier the BlueAir is the best one on the market based on the testing a listed above. It beats the $800 dyson out by a lot.

Noise and aesthetics. Wife Approval Factor is pretty low on box fan plus filter.

Oh yeah a situation like that looks be damned if it means not breathing in smoke all day.
My ghetto air 3000 moves as much air as the blueair since I have 4 times the surface area and 1/4th the static pressure of a single filter on a fan.
If I was going to buy a namebrand one, this would be it.

1) it looks hella ghetto
2) back pressure and fan design. It's a absolutely not designed to be ran with so back pressure. Odds are you can hear the loading
3) noise
4) efficiency & energy usage.
