Important note: It seems that Okaysou isn’t in the business anymore. The website is down; replacement filters are impossible to get, so I can’t recommend its air purifiers anymore.

Full Review
The Okaysou AirMax8L was once one of the most popular air purifiers on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, so I was genuinely surprised when Okaysou went out of business.
Although I no longer recommend purchasing the Okaysou AirMax8L — primarily because replacement filters are nearly impossible to find — I will keep this review online for those who still own the device and want to learn how it performed in our tests.
This air purifier features a 5-stage filtration technology, is designed for medium-sized rooms, and includes some advanced features, making it a suitable option for living rooms, bedrooms, and similar spaces.
Keep reading to discover how it performed in our particle removal, noise level, and power consumption tests, as well as how it compares with similar air purifiers.
How We Tested the Okaysou AirMax8L?
1. For the filter efficiency testing, we used the Temtop LKC-1000S laser particle meter, which measures PM2.5 (µg/m3), PM10 (µg/m3), Particles (per/L), and HCHO (mg/m3) in the air, and also calculates the AQI.
2. We placed the Okaysou AirMax8L in a 320 sq. ft. (30 m²) room. Then, we recorded the initial air quality values using the Temtop laser particle meter and let the Okaysou AirMax8L run at maximum speed.
3. After 60 minutes, we measured the new values using the Temtop laser particle meter and saved the data.
4. Using a special noise measurement tool, we tested the air purifier’s noise level at all speeds. We measured the noise level on the dBA scale.
5. Finally, we measured the power usage at all speeds using an energy meter, after which we calculated how much it would cost to use the device at a particular fan speed for one month. For reference, we used an energy price of $0.12 per kWh.

The Okaysou AirMax8L is designed for use in medium to large-sized rooms. However, since it only covers spaces up to 320 sq. ft. (30 m²), I wouldn’t consider it the best option for larger rooms.
We tested its performance in particle removal to measure how much it could improve air quality within 60 minutes while operating at maximum speed the entire time.
Additionally, I used this air purifier at home for five days to observe how it performs in real-life situations. What I noticed is that it was significantly less effective than some popular air purifiers with similar coverage, such as the Winix 5500-2 and the Coway AP-1512HH.
Testing in a 320 sq. ft. (30 m²) Room
In the first test, we placed the Okaysou AirMax8L in a 320 sq. ft. (30 m²) room, ran it at maximum speed, and used a Temtop laser particle meter to measure how much it improved the air quality.
It’s worth saying that this room is slightly larger than the recommended coverage area for this air purifier.
Particle Removal Test Room - Comparison
Comparison between the Okaysou AirMax8L and its competitors in particle removal tests in a 320 sq. ft. (30 m²) room.
Despite this, the Okaysou AirMax8L successfully reduced PM2.5 levels from 79 to 6.2 µg/m³, resulting in an overall air quality improvement of approximately 92%.
For comparison, some of our top-rated air purifiers, such as the Levoit Vital 200S and Core 400S, achieved even better results in this test, with an air quality improvement of 96%.
| # | Starting Baseline | After 60 min |
|---|---|---|
| PM 2.5 | 79 µg/m³ | 6.2 µg/m³ |
| PM 10 | 110.7 µg/m³ | 8.8 µg/m³ |
| Particles | 114689 per/L | 9132 per/L |
| AQI | 105 | 8 |
Nevertheless, this is still an impressive result, reinforcing that the Okaysou AirMax8L is a high-quality air purifier.
Noise Levels Test
Noise – Sound Level Tests:
9.3 - Average Score (83 products)
10 - Best Score (1 products)
8.2 - Worst Score (1 products)
We use a special noise measurement tool to test the noise level of the air purifier at all speeds. We measure the noise level on the dBA scale.
You can read more about our testing methodology here.
Since the AirMax8L is a large air purifier equipped with a powerful motor, it’s expected to produce higher noise levels.
At the lowest speed, the Okaysou AirMax8L generates 46.3 dBA, making it one of the loudest air purifiers we’ve tested at the lowest fan speed.
The only air purifier with a comparable noise level at the lowest speed is the Blueair 211+, which produces 43.9 dBA. However, the Blueair 211+ has a significantly higher CADR value compared to the Okaysou.
Noise Levels Test - Comparison
This chart compares the noise levels at the minimum and maximum speeds of the Okaysou AirMax8L air purifier with those of its competitors.
Interestingly, the situation changes at maximum speed. The Okaysou AirMax8L produces only 59.4 dBA, which is one of the quietest results among similar air purifiers. For comparison, the Mila air purifier produces 73.5 dBA at maximum speed.
One drawback of the Okaysou AirMax8L, aside from the loud noise at its lowest speed, is the lack of a real sleep mode. Activating sleep mode only switches the motor to the first speed.
| Fan Speed | Okaysou AirMax8L (dBA) |
|---|---|
| Sleep Mode | 46.3 dBA |
| Speed 1 (Low) | 46.3 dBA |
| Speed 2 (Medium) | 55.3 dBA |
| Speed 3 (High) | 59.4 dBA |
Overall, the Okaysou motor could be better optimized, particularly at the lowest speed. As seen in the provided chart, many air purifiers have higher CADR values but operate with better-optimized motors.
The Okaysou AirMax8L uses a 50W motor.
If you were to run this air purifier at maximum speed, 24 hours a day for an entire month, your electricity bill would increase by approximately $3.70, which is a relatively small cost.
When in standby mode, the air purifier consumes no power at all.
However, the main issue with this air purifier is the availability of replacement filters.
Monthly Power Cost – Comparison
Comparison of the monthly power cost at maximum speed between the Okaysou AirMax8L and some of its competitors.
Since Okaysou is no longer in business and there aren’t many reliable third-party suppliers for replacement filters, maintaining the device becomes a challenge.
| Fan Speed | Okaysou AirMax8L (W + $/month) |
|---|
If the situation were different and Okaysou were still operational, our rating for operating costs would be higher, mainly due to the availability of replacement filters.
Design
AirMax8L has neutral white and black colors, which allows any room placement. You will not have any problems with placing it on any visible spot, considering its design. Good-quality plastic makes this air purifier durable enough to last for years.
Thanks to the handles on both sides, you will be able to move the air purifier and make it mobile if you want. One of the most significant advantages of AirMax8L is its airflow; a whole backside stands for an air entrance. A considerable air suction field allows this air purifier to perform great in a large room.
One more thing I really fancy about this Okaysou model is the long power cable. As you should place all the air purifiers about 15 inches from walls or any objects, having a shorter power cable might be a small problem, but with Okaysou AirMax8L, you won’t have that kind of a problem.
Touch Buttons
I particularly like the touch buttons that are precise and sensitive enough, and they will respond to even a little touch. Although it doesn’t have many exceptional functions, all the touch buttons are enough to manage the device and didn’t cause me any trouble when testing the Okaysou AirMax8L. There are On/Off, Fan Speed, Sleep, and Child Lock buttons on a control panel that you can click on when controlling the air purifier.
The largest is the On/Off button, which is placed in the middle of the control panel. When you press the button, you will hear a beep, and you can be sure the device is on.
The sleep Button is an impressive button that is used to enter sleep mode. When the sleep mode is on, the air purifier will lower the speed to the first one that is quiet enough, and you won’t have any discomfort during the night. Your sleep will not be bothered when the sleep mode is on.
The timer Button is a simple option that allows you to choose how long you want the air purifier to work. You can choose from the 1, 2, 4, and 8-hour options. When the time you set on the air purifier passes, Okaysou AirMax8L will turn itself off automatically.
The fan Speed Button is used to select one of the three speeds available at your disposal. If you want to have clean air more quickly, you should choose the third speed, the most powerful one.
The Child Lock Button is a crucial and necessary button if you have kids who love to push buttons. When locked, you can be safe from kids messing up the options.
Be extremely careful not to drop small objects on top of the air purifier because beneath the protection grid is the motor. Any object that gets in contact with the motor may damage it.
Size and Dimensions
Size is an important factor if you have little space for new devices in your home. Okaysou AirMax8L (12.9 x 7.1 x 19.4 inches) is not too large, and I am sure it will find a space in any room you want to place it. I must say that 13.75 pounds is not a lot of weight, and thanks to the handles on both sides, you can easily transport it from room to room.
Accessories and Parts
In the box, you will get an AirMax8L air purifier, 3-in-1 Ultra filter, 2-in-1 Duo filter, a user manual to make sure you do everything right at starting this device, and a warranty card that allows you to get help in case anything goes wrong with your device.
Features Overview
Three Fan Speeds
This Okaysou model has three fan speed options. First fan speed is a perfect choice if the air in the room is decent, and you need silence. The second fan speed is used to filter the air faster while still keeping the work at quite enough grade. However, if the air quality in the room is terrible, you should put it at third fan speed and remove pollution as fast as it gets.
Okaysou AirMax8L will remember settings after turning it off, which means as soon as you turn it back on, it will continue to work with the same settings before shutting down.
Timer
A timer is a standard option on many air purifiers. It is a very useful option that allows you to run an air purifier for the desired time. On Okaysou AirMax8L, you can choose from 1, 2, 4, and 8-hour options. When the selected time passes, the device will turn off.
Sleep Mode
The AirMax8L air purifier has three-speed modes, including sleep mode. After clicking on the sleep mode button, the Okaysou will switch the speed to the first one. Although I am a light sleeper, on the first speed, the device is quiet enough, and I can sleep without disturbing myself.
Child Lock Mode
Child lock mode is useful if kids like to move around the air purifier. With child lock on, you can be sure no options will be messed up. It is also helpful if you have pets that may accidentally press buttons since the buttons are very sensitive.
Filter Replacement Indicator
A filter replacement indicator is one of the features that I really like, and I am sure that you will also love this option. It is a great and simple way to make sure filters are replaced on time. Without this option, you will visually need to check filters, and even then, without experience, you will not know if the filter needs replacement or not.
Five Years Warranty
A five-year warranty is a very generous gesture from Okaysou. This warranty only proves that this air purifier is made from high-quality material that will last. After buying Okaysou AirMax8L, you should visit the Okaysou website (the website isn’t working anymore) and register your newly bought product. In that way, you are going to validate and extend your warranty.
Advanced Silenceboost Technology
The turbine motor used in the Okaysou AirMax8L air purifier with Advanced Silenceboost Technology reduces noise and makes sure the motor will run for years. According to this, you won’t have any trouble sleeping when the AirMax8L is on.
For best performance, it is best to keep an air purifier 20 inches from other objects on all sides.
Certificates
This Okaysou model has many certificates. CE, FCC, ETL, and CARB certificates are needed to make sure you get the best and safest device. They also prove that AirMax8L is 100% ozone-free.
Filtration Technology
AirMax8L has two filters, Ultra Filter and Duo Filter. Ultra Filter is the primary filter that contains three filters: pre-filter, True HEPA filter, and Antimicrobial filter. Duo Filter has an Activated Carbon Filter and Cold Catalyst Filter, which will remove gases, while the Ultra Filter will capture airborne particles. Duo Filter will clean the air after Ultra Filter does its work.
Filters are large, and that only means that filtration efficiency is large as well. However, to keep efficiency at the highest rate, you should replace filters every 6 to 8 months.
Ultra Filter
Ultra Filter is a primary filter that is responsible for removing airborne particles as well as dust, pollen, mold spores, pet dander, pet hair, and other unwanted particles. A pre-filter is used to catch large particles like hair, large dust, or dander. Ultra Filter contains a pre-filter, True HEPA filter, and Antimicrobial filter.
A True HEPA filter is a primary filter that removes most of the airborne particles. A HEPA filter is the most important filter, both in the Ultra filter and in the rest of the filtration.
An Antimicrobial Filter is a filter that goes after the HEPA filter, which makes sure no bacteria is growing inside the air purifier. It also removes a good deal of viruses, bacteria, and germs.
Ultra Filter removes 99.97% airborne particles that are freely floating in the air.
Duo Filter
Duo filter consists of two filters: an Activated Carbon Filter and a Cold Catalyst Filter. It is placed after the Ultra Filter. The activated carbon filter is used to remove bad odors like cooking smells, farts, and vintage smells, but it also removes smoke, wildfire smoke, and formaldehyde. Cold Catalyst can remove VOCs, ammonia, and hydrogen.
How to Replace the Okaysou AirMax8L Filters?
Filter replacement is easy to do, and everyone can do it on their own. You should change filters on the AirMax8L every 6-8 months or when the Filter Replacement Indicator turns on.
After every 1500 hours, the air purifier will send a siren, and the filter replacement indicator will light up to remind you that filters need replacement.
