My wife has been critical of cooking smells lately. Well, for the last year at least. About 6-7 months ago I picked up a Levoit LAP-C201S-AUSR. It’s a small cylindrical filter that Lowes sells. It did the job, but turning it on and off as needed was a pain. My wife sent me back to looking for a new one.
I came across the Medify MA-35. I mounted it to the wall over my counter top, below the upper cabinets beside the stove.
It’s a neat little unit. It has coarse filtration, HEPA, charcoal and ionization (I think that’s ozone) filtration. Mounting was easy, it came with a bracket, I screwed it to the backsplash.
It runs continuously on low, then when it senses airborne particles it ramps up the fan speed. Once the particles are gone, it slows the fan down again. Low they say is 20 db. It’s quiet. High they say is 54. It’s not loud, but I can hear it in the next room on high.
It does a good job. Cooking smells are sucked in fairly quickly once it senses them. It’s been active for about a month now, my wife gives it her seal of approval.
Anyway, between cooking and woodstoves, there’s always something floating around the air that we probably shouldn’t breathe. It wasn’t expensive either. A quick google search shows it under $200.
