After weeks of testing the VEWIOR Air Purifier in my 1,800 sq ft apartment (with two shedding cats and a partner who loves cooking pungent meals), I can confidently say this unit delivers on its promises—with a few quirks.

The Good: The H13 HEPA filtration is no joke. Within an hour of running it on high, my living room smelled like... nothing. Not 'Febreze-covered-up' nothing, but genuinely neutral air. The pet dander reduction was noticeable—my allergy-prone guests stopped sneezing! The essential oil tray (I used lavender) is a genius touch, turning the purifier into a subtle diffuser.

Real-World Performance: Auto mode became my favorite. During Canadian wildfire smoke days, it ramped up to high speed unprompted while I was still wondering if I smelled anything. The display showed PM2.5 spikes matching my outdoor air quality app—impressive accuracy for the price.

The Quirks: As other reviewers noted, high speed sounds like a small desk fan—fine for short bursts but distracting during movie nights. Medium is whisper-quiet though. One filter cover clip broke during my third wash (cold water only!), but customer service shipped a replacement within days.

Pro Tip: Don't ignore the filter reminder! I pushed mine 2 months past the alert and noticed odor control dropping sharply until replacement.

Verdict: At this price point, it outperforms big-name brands I've tried. Ideal for pet owners/city dwellers needing serious purification with spa-like aromatherapy perks. Just keep expectations realistic about noise at top speed.
