That's 2 years worth of filters though, as one filter is good for about a year. About $50 per filter isn't abnormal, my Blue 411 was similar.

It looks like the smoke from the wild fires is heading into the Lower Mainland starting Saturday morning. https://www.citynews1130.com/2021/07...ast-wildfires/

Fuck my wife was all worked up about this last night and she had all the windows closed all day.
At night I was suffocating in the bedroom so I cracked open a window and she flipped out showing me air quality indices and how the Dyson fan we have shows outdoor air quality as "FAIR" (oh the horror).
Being a good husband I put the air purifier next to the couch and slept with the balcony door open lol. It honestly isn't that bad this year (so far), last year was horrific.

My Dyson indicates outdoor as “excellent,” lol. It’s a cool hot model. I crank up AC before going to bed and turn it off after a couple hours. The Dyson keeps the room nice and cool. I have to set it on “ night mode,” because it gets too cold.
Of all the electronic gadgets I have, the Dyson has been the most useful. Remote control via iPhone is the icing on the cake.

We have the one with the little screen, and every now and then I'll fart in front of it and see the graph for VOC shoot up, much to my wife's anger.

Just came back from a trip to Edmonton with mother who has breathing difficulties due to dust, air particles, and smoke so I was looking for a portable battery powered hepa and smoke etc capabilities to use on the ride and settled on the westinghouse ncco portable. https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/westing.../6000200077789
I'll say it does the job really well in the car.
During the ride through the Thompson region she had no problems breathing once I started it up(she did cough on pit stops when outside the car.)
Best part is the adapter/charger cord is usb ended(with power plug) so I plugged it into a spare USB slot in the ride and when car was off the unit was still on working off battery.(there is a power button tho)
Is the ncco a gimmick? Idk but I do know that it helped moms breathe easier while we drove through the smoke.
It also got rid of the long drive smells. You know what I mean, food and people breathing with recirculated air etc.)
Not gonna lie I farted once or twice(maybe more) but because I had it beside me on the center armrest no one in the car noticed lmao.
I'm impressed with the unit. I was planning on returning anything I got afterwards but this one Ill be keeping.

My expectations of this one actually doing what it's for, impressed me. I'm happy I got it.

Last night was hazy when we went to visit Coquitlam, but Langley wasn't too bad. We woke up this morning to the smell of smoke, and felt the dryness in our throats. I saw that Canadian tire had filters and box fans in stock so that I could set up an air-purifier. It's been running in the living room for about 20 min, an the AQ has already improved significantly (PM2.5 17ug/m vs 46ug/m in bedroom).
Balcony: 
Living Room: 
Air from hallway: 
EDIT: added readings

Where do you live? Even 2018 and the last few years when the smoke was bad I never felt any symptoms. Hell could even go running. Everyone’s different I guess

Everyone’s different I guess | Central Park Burnaby - last year I could feel it when I was outside but today it was ok. My air purifier hasn't kicked in all day - either the house is sealed tight (it's a new build) or conditions aren't as bad as last year (where it did kick in some times).

My app connected to the over priced, piece of shit, Dyson air purifier showed very high outdoor Baqi, but normal inside.
The Winix in the media room is in normal mode. Not red or orange, just blue LED.
I smelled the smoke as soon as I woke up this morning. Hazy as fuck outside and I have all the windows open. Nothing close to what it was like a few years ago. Apparently Vancouver is now the worst place in the world for air quality.
I don't get it. I did cough a little after being out and about. I decided not to garden today. Wishing for rain. Nature's way of cleansing the earth. Wash the evil away...........

Hey, people love summer BBQ, right? So why wouldn't we want to enjoy breathing in that smokey BBQ smell? 
I was out running chores in Richmond today, and there were noticeably more people wearing masks than what I've been seeing lately.

It doesn't smell too bad, but the visuals are definitely bad. I had enough air filters for when I lived in TH, but I think I need to buy more for next year cause the windows are leakier in this old house.
