The best air purifier deal is back at Costco.
I have these Winix units all over my house.
Better performing than everything you can find on Amazon and it comes with 2 years of filtration and easy to control on a Wi-Fi app.
AHAM rated for 360 sq ft, but will cover up to nearly 1,800 square feet with one air change per hour.
My favorite feature is the sensors and auto mode. It gives you the ability to set it up and forget about it. The fan speeds will change automatically, the air quality sensor will change colors and let you know it's working and the change filter indicator will let you know when it's time to change the true HEPA filter (I usually set a timer/reminder for my carbon filter change as I do with my furnace filter).
These units have helped my air during wildfires, Covid periods and will be purchasing more as it's cheaper than buying some other units filters.

Shark states 1000sqft of air change per hour, Winix is 1800sqft
Shark is refurb with 90day warranty, Winix is new with (I want to say) 2year warranty, plus Costco satisfaction coverage.
Can't comment on reliability of Shark, but I've got 3 Winix in the house. One of them being maybe 6-7 years old at this point. We use it almost daily.
On the Winix, I did have to open it up and tighten the fan when it started rattling at about 5 year mark. But I think even if someone had to replace it at that point, it would be totally worth it the price paid.
If you're looking for one, highly recommended.

I have cat allergies and 3 different, highly rated brands of air purifiers had little affect on reducing my cat allergy symptoms. So think about it. These cheap air purifiers are for small areas (usually 250 to 350 s.f.) If you have a 2,000 s.f. 2-story, 4-bedroom house, and your pet freely roams the house, how many of these air purifier units do you think you would have to buy to eradicate pet hair and pet dander throughout the house?
Very common. There's a video floating around of a person taking the unit apart and it's very involved with many screws. But not hard or difficult at all. Placed a rubber wedge and for some cable that squeeks after years of use. My oldest unit has this whine and I'm sure I'll do the fix in the summer when I can take it outside to work on it
a cheap paper fixed in the video. but a rubber bushing would work best.

Ahhh, the good ol' days...
I already have two the 200m and love them but these pop up all the time so just curious.
My really old model was great for the first four years on auto or manually setting the speed to just below max. During the quarantining, I had it to always be set at 3 or 4 speed and then it developed a whine that I couldn't fix. That one has been moved to the hallway.
