  • +Solid builds (from vendors)
computer fan CR boxes are the absolute best on the market... If a fan dies, you replace it (15$). The filters become saturated, you replace them (30$ vs 80$+). And most of all: CADR per dB. ... whispe

Pros

  • +Affordable (under 100 bucks)
  • +Good for main area
  • +Good for bedroom

Cons

  • -Requires weekly maintenance (oiling bearings)
  • -Squeaking noise if not maintained
I've a Levoit 300 and the only big issue I've noticed is having to oil the bearings then run it at max for a few minutes each week so it doesn't make a squeaking noise.
