Key Insights
Key Takeaway
For a WFH allergy + pet owner, AI recommendations consolidate around five brands - Coway, Levoit, Winix, Blueair, and Dyson - with Dyson as a consistent negative-mention (recommended against more than for). The strongest cross-model signal is that Coway Airmega AP-1512HH Mighty is the consensus default at the ~$200 price point and Levoit Vital 200S is the consensus pet-specific pick.
Top Brands Summary
Coway, Levoit, Winix, and Blueair form the universal-tier core - mentioned by all four models. Coway owns the brand-ranking consensus #1 position (3 of 4 models put it first in P3). Levoit dominates pure mention count across pet-specific prompts. Winix is the consensus value pick. Dyson appears in all four model brand rankings but is consistently positioned as overpriced or aesthetic-only. Honeywell and NuWave appear in a clear second tier (Perplexity-heavy).
