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.

    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

    Promising review: "This air purifier and fan is the best you'll ever own. It really filters everything from Lysol spray to smoke outside. Unfortunately, it also cleans out all smells in the house including the wonderful smell of fresh bread. I love the fact it comes on by itself when the need arises and turns off when it's done.

    Promising review: "I love how quiet this gets on its lowest setting. I’ve had it set to auto since I’ve had it and the sensors in it are super accurate compared to some others in the same price range. It’s easy to look at and fits visually in most places in most rooms. You can pick a different color filter color on their website and it’s easy to install. There's also a relatively long power cable to hide behind couches and tables for a more discreet experience." —Justin S.

    Promising review: "I've been searching for a small, desktop purifier for ages and I finally found the perfect one! My apartment tends to get very dusty and the air quality isn't great in here (old vents), so I'm constantly suffering from horrid dust allergies. Plus, the dander from my two cats and I also work from home now, so I'm here a lot and having clean air is super important. I wanted something small enough to fit on my desk/nightstand, but still powerful enough to clean the air, and this does the trick!" —Brooke
