Reply to comment by Kfperin in Dust inside Laguna apartments by MarlonBrando1729

thanks for your reply. Yeh, Laguna is a pretty good building. The windows are not drafty so everything is a closed box lol. That is what puzzled me - why this dirt right. So, I had the vents checked but they seem to be ok. I think this is due to the construction behind Ellipse. Can't help it, it seems.

Would you recommend getting a purifier for the bedroom as well? Levoit 600s will serve 630 something sq ft. But I have a feeling that it will do well in the combined living / kitchen space; but since the bedroom is separated by a wall; it may not be able to do as well there.

I was avoiding the 24 hour run of the purifier for it will lead to an accelerated wear and tear. But seems it is a good idea to at least run it on a 12 hour basis.

Of course, happy to help. Good call on the vents, if your apartment gives you access to replacing the HVAC / central air filter too, that's something I do at mine and it helps.

And yeah, I have a smaller air purifier for the bedroom that I turn on only during the day since it's a little noisier. Otherwise the way my apartment is set up, I have my main air purifier in the living room / kitchen. It's placed a few steps away from the bedroom doorway, but the extra air purifier for the bedroom specifically still helps (filter def gets dirty).

Can't speak to wear and tear too much, but my smaller air purifier (GermGuardian) needs its filter replaced after 3-4 months, whereas my bigger one (Coway) I heard should last around 9 months or so before I need a new filter. Hope this helps and good luck hah

Awesome. It sure does. Thanks for your detailed feedback and taking the time out. I'm just amazed despite spending north of 4000 on rent, I still have to deal with issues lol. The rest of the apartment / building is great though. Merry Xmas and NY :)

Hahah you got it, anytime! It's an ongoing struggle but I'm sure you'll notice a difference with the air purifiers. Happy holidays!
