I will say that the Blueair is a highly recommended machine. I know less about the Honeywell, but agree that neither are as attractive as the Airmega.
Looking at Consumer Reports, the Airmega 300 is only rated Fair for pollen removal is because of its smart setting, which conserves energy when a low amount of dust is detected. That seems like a pretty big caveat when few other machines have dust detection, which is designed to reduce power costs.
As for price—we have a topic about Airmega Purifiers on sale. You can watch that topic by selecting the bell icon and change it to watching. When the Airmega goes back on sale, you’ll get notified. Here’s where you can find that.
