    Promising review: "We were going on a family trip and had a friend coming with us. He was allergic to dogs and we were taking our dog with us. The trip was a 10 hour trip and we were concerned about our friend traveling in a tight space with the pet. We ordered this one item hoping it would make his trip easier. This worked like a charm! No swollen eyes, no sneezing! Would definitely purchase this again." –Jamie Manicure

    Replace filter cost: $9.99

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in five colors).

    Filters dander, dust, pollen, smoke, odors, mold, and other germs.

    Promising review: "Within six hours of turning this on, I could take a deep breath without my sinuses feeling stuffy for the first time in so many years. This and a better floor cleaner have reduced the dust in my home by more than 80%! That's with four shedding animals. My apartment is closer to 1,000 sq ft so I do plan to get a second small filter for my bedroom, but this does a great job. I work in Healthcare and this is comparable the purifiers we use in the medical setting." –Jacqueline R.

    Replacement filter cost: $40.14

    Get it from Amazon for $100.

    17. A Bissell Air320 Smart Air Purifier with fabric, H13 HEPA, and activated carbon filters here to make your living space (up to 1,770 square feet of it) more breathable in a stylish way. It kind of looks like a guitar amp and TBH, "Activated Carbon" would be a pretty killer metal band name.

    Filters dust, pet dander, pollen, smoke, and other allergens and irritants.

    Promising reviews: "I purchased an air purifier because at the time I had three cats. My apartment has three windows, so not much ventilation. I was waking up with a stuffy nose almost every morning. The purifier has eliminated that. The noise level goes up as you increase the level. When set on auto mode you can’t hear it at all." –love music

    "It’s pretty to look at, sure, but I have three dogs that create a lot of dust and horrible tree pollen allergies to boot. This thing helps SIGNIFICANTLY – and when it’s not on max blast you can hardly hear it." –Amazon Customer

    Replacement filter cost: $39.99

    Get it from Amazon for $208.67.

    18. An air purifier with an aromatherapy function so you can breathe in fresh, clean air AND the soothing scent of lavender to help keep the Sunday scaries (and gross pet smells) at bay.

    Filters dust, pollen, pet dander, smoke, and odors.

    Promising review: "I have had this for about a month. I only use it periodically but after the first use, I honestly felt a difference in the air. It seemed clearer of cat dander and more air-conditioned. All the features work well. There are three levels of speed: level one is very quiet and the other two are a bit noisier, but not overly. I like that the lights can be turned off while in operation." —CKK, L.A.

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99.

    19. An air purifier with a timer more than 56,000 reviewers really like for filtering air in up to 12 minutes for rooms 219 square feet AND a sleep mode to let you rest without disruption.

    Filters pollen, smoke, mold, and odors. It's recommended to replace the filter every six to eight months, and cost around $35.99.

    Promising review: "This product is life changing. I am surrounded by farms and trees where I live and unfortunately, I am allergic to LIFE. I put it right next to my bedside and I don't wake up in the middle of the night coughing or sneezing anymore. I have such horrible allergies and with the weather change its been getting a lot worst. It is virtually silent. I don't even notice it on. I wish I bought this a long time ago!" —Vivian

    Get it from Amazon for $104.99+ (available in two colors).

    20. A smart sensor air purifier with a washable filter you can turn on and forget about. It even measures the air, while auto mode adjusts the fan to filter your home's air as needed — keeping things ~easy, breezy, and not so sneezy~.

    Promising review: "Very quiet and does a great job! I have two large dogs and a small house and used to have to dust every three or four days. Now it's more like every two weeks or so. This keeps odors at bay and is easy to clean and maintain. Don't know how I lived without this thing!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $145.49+ (available in five colors).

    21. An air purifier with a night-light for creating a ~squeaky~ clean space by trapping pollen and other allergy triggers like pet dander, so you can enjoy a big, deep sigh of relief — especially after making it through *another* week of work.

    Filters dust, pollen, smoke, odors, and pet dander. Try to replace your filter every three months (each replacement costs around $17.99).

    Promising review: "I needed a purifier at work. Ever since they turned on the heater in the building, I struggle to breathe and it gets worse until the end of the week. I bought this to plug into the computer since I can only use USB plugs. I was worried about the sound, but once I used it, all worries were gone. I can barely notice this thing on in the office, especially when everyone is there. It has also definitely helped my breathing. I've used it for about three weeks now and it has gradually helped me feel better. I can't imaging getting through the week without it now. Highly recommend for a small space." —Alway

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99.

    Sniff, sniff. What's the odor? Smells like a fresh, clean, dander-free home for you (and your pets).
