What are you hoping to filter with it? I have a general purpose Honeywell Insight, it works well enough for my allergies and pet dander in my apartment. I think I paid something like $200 for the unit 3 years ago, but filters are $85 a year for it - pricey but they're widely available.
I guess that's something I should be more forward with. I don't really know what I am trying to filter out. I feel like my apartment can feel stuffy at times and agitate my sinuses but that may have to do with my AC unit pumping largely unfiltered air from the a busy downtown area into my unit
I’d recommend you also get a cheap (likely $5-10) hygrometer to check the humidity levels inside, getting it to stay between 30% and 50% is best for air quality according to the EPA. If it’s above or below that you’d want to get a dehumidifier or a humidifier.
