Miko Home Air Purifier H13 True HEPA Medical Grade Removes 99.97% of Particles For Asthma, Viruses, Bacterial, and Allergies Covers 1600 Sqft with PM2.5 Air Quality Indicator, Sleep Mode, XL For Large Room

So I hate reading reviews, they can be unreliable and very subjective. I am going to write one for Miko because (a) it’s a local company based in NY, (b) from the packaging, to the ease of setup, ease of use, customer service, this air purifier is worth its money. I was searching for an air purifier and in all honesty there are a bunch of them on Amazon that looked pretty good. And around that time I went for a DR appt (this is a big office) and I noticed these air purifiers set up in different waiting areas. Quietly blowing clean air. I took a photo of it, and long story short, the L is sitting in my house working away. Cheers Miko

Paulette’s Husband is writing this reviewNo air filter (except one attached to your furnace) can draw in air from all around your house, especially if you have a larger house. However, it will help in localized areas. My daughter has Cerebral Palsy and due to other issues, she recently had to have a colostomy. Every 3 days we must flush out her colon. When flushing a colostomy, you use something called an irrigation shoot. For an able bodied person, they would sit on the toilet with the shoot draped into the toilet. She isn’t able-bodied, so we plug the drain side of the shoot to collect everything in the shoot while she lies in bed watching TV (this part of the flush usually takes about 30 – 45 minutes). When the flush is done, I disconnect the shoot, clean the stoma, and put a new bag over the stoma. Then I take the shoot into the bathroom and empty it into the toilet and wash the shoot out in the shower (this takes about 5 minutes). This leaves the bedroom and the bathroom smelling really bad (think of the smell of the worst case of diarrhea you can imagine). For the bathroom, I close the door and turn on the exhaust fan. In the bedroom, the door remains closed until the stink level becomes tolerable to my wife who is very sensitive to the smell. I bought one of these Larger Miko air filters for her bedroom. I turn the Miko onto a setting of 2 (sometimes I go into Turbo mode but then it is hard to hear the TV). Her bedroom is 100 sq. ft. After 10 minutes the room still stinks but not as bad. After an hour the smell in the bedroom is at a tolerable level for my wife and after two hours it is usually completely gone. The bathroom however (35 sq. ft.), I have left the exhaust fan on for over 8 hours and still wanted to throw up when entering the bathroom. Before purchasing the Miko, we had to leave the bedroom door open so the air would eventually clear out, but this made the whole house (2000 sq. ft.) stink for several hours. To keep from throwing up, my wife would stay in the master bedroom with that door closed for several hours until the level of stink in the whole house came down to tolerable levels.Now, to explain something that a lot of people, in reading their reviews, do not seem to understand. When an air filter claims it filters the air in a 1600 sq. ft. room 5 time an hour, it does not mean it filters every last molecule of air in the room. It will pull that much volume of air through the filter but the air closest to the filter will go through the filter many more times before the air furthest from the filter will ever even reach the filter if at all. Smells near the filter will also be dispersed to points farther away because the filter is essentially a FAN that blows air around the room. So, when someone says, I held match near the filter and I could still smell the match, well DUH, you still need to give it time. The real test is how long does it take before the smell is removed with and without the air filter. Put a smell into the room, close the room off, and come back at intervals. If the smell is gone faster with the filter, then the filter is working. The faster it is gone, the better it works. Therefore, I can say, when comparing the smell of the bathroom with its fan to the bedroom, this filter works great.Update: I finally bought a second one for the bathroom. I bought another Large since I didn’t want to stock more than one size of replacement filters. So, yes, it is overkill for the bathroom. But as I mentioned above, after just 5 minutes to empty the colostomy bag and the bathroom would stick all day long to where we couldn’t use the bathroom again for the rest of the day. With the filter in the bathroom, we can tolerate it within 15 – 30 minutes and it is almost entirely stink free after 60 minutes. Oh boy, what a difference this filter makes for both my daughter’s bedroom and now the bathroom.

I love how you hardly know it’s on! But when cooking and had a lot of smoke it adjusted at a higher speed and took care of the smoke problem!
