I have a few bissel filters and they have done well for me. I have the big stand up one in the living area of my house and then smaller cylinder shaped ones in bedrooms. Our house is from the 40s and isn't very air tight so we run then mostly for allergies. The sound isn't too noticeable for us but we've had them for a few years so that just what home sounds like to us now.

We put one in our bedroom and you could feel the difference in there compared to other rooms so we got more filters for the rest of the house. It's hard to describe the feeling but we turned the filter on and then went about our day and a few hours later went into the bedroom and the air just felt cleaner. My allergies were also significantly better after just one day.

  1. https://thisendup.com/furniture/sofas/ are the hardiest sofas in the history of the world.
  2. Local upholstery shops are a thing and you need to know you can have any cushion refabric'd with anything from whale penis leather to carbon kevlar with any cushion material from aero gel to concrete when the cushions fail your comfort and/or aesthetic requirements.

From 20c to 25c took around 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours I think. I haven't had to use it since its been warm ever since the -20c weather a while ago. My windows had seal issues which I've fixed since then so it would probably take a bit less now. Either way these heaters take a while to get warm compared to other types of heaters but they also take a while to cool off if the power goes out.
