I thought my little box fan with an HVAC filter was doing a good job of cleaning the air

submitted by [deleted] from self.whatever

but we picked up a Ninja air purifier that measures the air quality and whoa... it was not working all that well.

And it's crazy to see what will tank air quality. Obv smoking, but even residual smoke from a cigg outside and the outside air itself will affect it. So will vaping.

Haven't cooked anything smokey yet but I'm sure that'll be nasty too.

Unless that fan can produce a good amount of static pressure against a filter that is well sealed on all sides it's not going to do anything. You might as well be blowing a fan at a piece of paper.

We have a Ninja brand blender and air cooker and they work very well. I did not know they made other things like air purifiers.

I didn't know until recently either. We do have the ninja blender. I like it, but originally we got it to make cat food and it never got used for that so I feel like I didn't put it through a serious test. Making cat food burned out two KitchenAid blenders.

The Ninja blender is powerful.... but loud. I usually leave the room while it blends, with my hands covering my ears.

I have used it, just not for cat food. I guess it is pretty loud, my neighbors probably love when I blend things at 3AM.

Sounds like you tend to blindly trust your latest purchases.

So far I'm pretty pleased with it.

I mean that you trusted your filter until you got your new air purifier and now you're trusting that without checking to see if it's actually giving accurate info

Its sensor seems good at picking up pollutants I generate from smoking, cooking, and even outside air. As long as that sensor isn't pulling a Volkswagen it definitely appears to work well.

How long it ends up lasting is another story. Pulling smoke regularly from the air is dirty business.
