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

    Get it from Amazon for $69.99.

    Promising review: "This is hands down the BEST air purifier I've ever had!!! We have a fairly large bedroom and placed it near our bed, and in less than 24 hours of running, you could tell a huge difference in the air quality. It was fresh, clean, and no stale, closed up odors were left in the room. The noise level in the highest setting is a little loud, but my husband actually likes that. He said it's like white noise to help him sleep. I used to have problems breathing at night but none since we've hooked up this baby! I also like the pretty night-light." —Mary B

    Promising review: "I have a very sensitive nose when it comes to smells, but I really love having pets. The smell was really starting to get to me so I decided to give this a try, and I'm so glad I did. This air purifier is a powerhouse! I got the OdorCell filter for it and it works like a charm. I tested it after doing some of the stinkiest tasks in the house such as taking out the kitchen trash and emptying the litter genie — 10 minutes max was all it needed to remove every bad odor floating around the room. It's also extremely quiet even when it's turned on high, the noise it makes just slips into the background, so no need to turn up the volume on the TV when you have it on. Overall, a really great product, it works great even with heavy pet odor." —Adrianna W.

    Get it from Alen for $313 (available in six colors).

    17. A splurge-worthy Molekule mini air purifier that's not only aesthetically pleasing to look at, but covers up to 250 square feet and uses nanotechnology to destroy viruses, allergens, bacteria, and mold. As they say out with the old and in with the new, fresh air.

    Filters smoke, allergens, pollutants, viruses, bacteria, and mold. Be sure to replace your filter every six months, which can cost $89.99 per filter.

    Promising review: "So far, this air purifier is the best purchase I’ve made in a long time. I can feel the difference in my breathing and sleep quality. I run it on auto 24/7 and I have’t turned it off. I usually take melatonin to help me fall asleep, but I haven’t needed to take anything at night this last week. It does let out a good amount of cool air, but I think that’s part of why I’m breathing and sleeping better. I just use an extra blanket on my bed. I’d like to get one for each room in the house. I think I’ll be even happier about this purchase as we get into fire season this year on the West Coast." —pdxreviewer

    Get it from Amazon for $499.
