Top 10 Best Air Purifiers in 2020 (Final UPDATE)

1) Rabbit Air MinusA2 – Our 2020 Winner

Sitting at the top of Rabbit Air’s current air purifier lineup, the powerful Rabbit Air MinusA2 is the Best Air Purifier in 2020 for most people. It packs everything you would want for an air purifier, while asking a much cheaper price than most other high-end air purifiers.

Let’s see why we consider it the best air purifier system for everyone in 2020.

Rabbit Air is a leader in the U.S air purifier market, currently ranked in the Inc. 5000 magazine as one of the fastest-growing privately held companies in the U.S. The Rabbit Air MinusA2 is their signature air purifier, showing top-notch performance that we mostly see in the high-range segment. This air purifier has vaulted past other competition to become the best air purifier, thanks to the perfect 6-stage purification & deodorization system to make the cleanest, freshest air possible in the world.

1. Pre-filter – The polluted air must pass through a pre-filter, there it will capture all large particles, along with dust mites and some of pet hair.
2. Medium Filter – Traps large pollen, pet dander, mold and dust particles that is small enough to bypass the Pre-filter.
3. Advanced BioGS HEPA Filter – It is a True HEPA Filter that captures 99.97% of all allergens, virus particles, pollen, mold and fungi particles down to 0.3 microns. Rabbit Air advances their air filter process, therefore prolong optimal filter efficiency and filter life of their HEPA filter.
4. Customized Filter – Double the protection with a variety of customized filters for specific needs like Germ Defense, Pet Allergy, Odor Remover, or Toxin Absorber.
5. Activated Carbon Filter – Eliminates odors, smokes and chemical vapors.
6. Ion Generator – The last line of defense is an ionizer to capture even the tiniest particles of pollutant and trap them into other filters. Can be switched on/off.

The ultimate Rabbit Air MinusA2 is standout with 5 different mechanical air filters and one ionizer, which, just going by the specs, is second to none. You should know that common air purifiers only have 2 to 3 mechanical air filters, and even the high-end air purifiers stick with the traditional 3-layer air purification system. In addition, the bottom line is the high quality of each filter in this MinusA2.

Rabbit Air MinusA2 makes use of double the pre-filtration, and both the first pre-filter and Medium filter are able to reduce most common pollutant objects in your home. Plus, the pre-filter is washable, and it can last permanently to serve you.

This double pre-filtration is also part of the exclusive Advanced BioGS technology of Rabbit Air, as it leaves only the ultra-fine particles for the True HEPA filter to trap. Unlike a typical HEPA filter, the Advanced BioGS HEPA filter is coated with an anti-bacterial treatment, to prevent the growth of biological particles like mold spores, viruses and bacteria on the filter. Therefore, it prolongs optimal filter efficiency, so you only need to change the MinusA2’s HEPA filter one every 2 years.

Expert tip: Why do you need a True HEPA filter instead of normal HEPA filter? When do you need to replace it? Find your answer in this article.

To further enhance the air purifying’s efficiency, Rabbit Air MinusA2 has a Customized filter, allowing the users to tailor the air purifier for their personal needs. Each filter (Germ Defense, Pet Allergy, Odor Remover, or Toxin Absorber) is specially engineered to trap and reduce different types of germs, chemicals, odors and allergens. Together with the Activated Carbon filter, made of high-grade granular activated carbon, the Rabbit Air MinusA2 can effectively reduce all types of smoke, chemicals, common household odors and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).

Even with the extra ionizer turning on, we have recorded that the amount of ozone is about 0.002 ppm, which is 25 times less than the 0.05 ppm maximum ozone safety standards set by the California Air Resource Board, so MinusA2 will never irritate asthma and respiratory issues. However, if you don’t like this function, you can easily turn it off with a simple button.

We place the Rabbit Air MinusA2 highest in our best air purifier 2020 list, simply because it offers the best overall mix of features for the money. You can control this air purifier anywhere in your home, thanks to the Wi-Fi capabilities, available on both smartphone’s app and Alexa voice commands. Rabbit Air MinusA2 has both dust and odor sensors, to assure the best air quality anytime, anywhere.

Together with the low annual filter replacement, Rabbit Air MinusA2 is Energy Star rated, with the lowest annual energy cost for its fan power. So to say, you will get a smart long-term investment for using the Rabbit Air MinusA2.

The only downside is, with so many mechanical filters, Rabbit Air MinusA2 just delivers a low CADR rating to protect the fan’s motor. However, with the cutting edge Brushless DC motor, this air purifier is able to keep up with even huge space from 700 to 815 square feet. It is impressively quiet, too, so you can run it even while sleeping.

Here is the pros/cons of Rabbit Air MinusA2:

Review: Rabbit Air MinusA2 Review.

If you don’t have the extra cash to go for the Rabbit Air MinusA2, the Rabbit Air BioGS 2.0 is another powerful air purifier with the BioGS HEPA filter, cutting down to only 4-stage air filtration and a smaller room coverage of 500 square feet. This air purifier doesn’t have the Wi-Fi capability feature, either.

2) Levoit Core 300 – Best Portable Air Purifier under $100

Fun fact: The Levoit Core 300 quickly becomes the Amazon’s Choice, and beats its own brother – Levoit Vista 200 to be our new best air purifier for under $100.

If you want to get the best budget air purifier that’s trusted by everyone, you are looking right at Levoit. As the most up-to-date air purifier in 2020, the Levoit Core 300 is also the only Levoit’s device strictly tested and certified by the Energy Star, AHAM and CARB to be efficient and safe to use up until now.

Winning Reddot Award and many other world-renowned awards for design, the Levoit Core 300 is the best budget portable air purifier with a powerful air cleaning system.

1. Pre-filter – This nylon preliminary filter is able to capture large particles of pollutants. You need to vacuum this filter regularly because it is only effective for a short time.
2. True HEPA Filter – A True HEPA Filter can reduce 99.97% down to 0.3 microns dust mites allergens, virus particles, pollen, bacteria particles. Can be customized:
   • Pet Allergy – For anyone with extreme allergies with pets. Levoit also makes a special version of Levoit Core 300 for this feature: the Levoit Core P350.
   • Toxin Absorber – For areas with high level of smoke, VOCs, or chemicals.
   • Mold & Bacteria – For moisture-heavy environments.
3. Activated Carbon Filter – It is great at eliminating odors and smoke in your home.

There are loads of things to love about the Levoit Core 300. It has the best True HEPA filter we’ve ever used and costs considerably less than some of its competitors. This original HEPA filter, just like the high-end Rabbit Air MinusA2, can be customized to fit your personal needs. If you have serious problems with allergies and asthma, you shouldn’t skip this air purifier. Its True HEPA filter meets the strict standards to remove 99.97% of dust, smoke, odor, mold spores, pet dander and particles as small as 0.3 microns.

Levoit Core 300 has triple the fan power of old LV-H132, with the CADR rating of 135 cfm in general, rather than the 50 cfm you’ll find on most air purifiers, making air cleaning feel so much faster. It can cover a large space of 215 square feet, verified by the AHAM.

To stay in the competition, Levoit quickly adds the missing Timer and other basic settings to this Levoit Core 300. The best part? As a portable air purifier, the Levoit Core 300 is super quiet. You can also select the Nightlight function to create a perfect bedroom environment for your good night.

Here is the pros/cons of Levoit Core 300:

If you want to look for an even cheaper air purifier from this company, both the Levoit Vista 200 and Levoit LV-H132 are available to get, and they all have smaller size than the Core 300. Of course, you will sacrifice the efficiency for the more affordable option, and you can’t customize the filter to deal with specific airborne pollutants.

Levoit is also ready to target the higher price range with the Levoit LV-PUR131 and Levoit LV-H133. These air purifiers introduce some high-end smart features that you couldn’t get for only under $200 in an ordinary air purifier, while being incredibly competitive with a recent drop in price. Both air purifiers offer the desired Smart Sensor, that we can’t have in a budget option like Levoit Core 300.

3) Coway AP-1512HH – Best for Performance and Value

Coway is holding the No.1 position on the South Korea air purifier market in 2020, and this is one of the best air purifier companies in the world, beating Samsung right in the domestic market for air purifiers alone. The most favorite Coway AP-1512HH is the top pick selected by a lot of reputable reviewers for its amazing performance and high value for the money.

So, why is Coway Mighty Air Purifier AP-1512HH so highly rated in almost all reviewer websites?

Mainly due to this important 4-stage air filtration:

1. Pre-filter – A washable pre-filter will help you capture the large particles of contaminants, from pet hair, human hair and mold.
2. Activated Carbon Filter – This filter works its best to deodorize and trap harmful gas to keep your place fresh and odor-free.
3. True HEPA Filter – The high-performance composite True HEPA Filter that captures 99.97% down to 0.3 microns allergens, virus particles, pollen, mold and fungi particles.
4. Ionizer – Vital ionize can trap even the tiniest airborne particles and send it back to other filters. Can be switched on/off.

Coway AP-1512HH‘s performance is of a very high standard, going head-to-head with even any air purifiers in the $300-$400 range, such as Oransi Max or Rabbit Air BioGS 2.0. It could handle everything we threw at it, while keeping a low cost that is recommended for anyone on a tight budget.

The unique selling point of this Coway AP-1512HH is the impressive Eco Mode, to shut down the fan when it detects no air pollution, which is perfect for saving energy. As an Energy Star rated air purifier, the Coway AP-1512HH is meant for long-term investment, with both low annual filter and energy costs.

It has a Smart Sensor, to automatically adjust the airflow speed based on the air quality status. The room coverage of this air purifier is impressive with 360 square feet, based on 4 air changes per hour rating. With such power, it is reasonable why the Coway AP-1512HH has won a lot of certificates and awards, including the British Allergy Foundation Seal of Approval.

One of the few things we didn’t take much of a shine to is the display light on the top, as it is too bright and can’t be turned off. If you are sensitive to light when sleeping, perhaps you need to cover the top light.

Here is the pros/cons of Coway AP-1512HH:

You can also look for the Coway AP-1216L, which is the tower air purifier of this Korean manufacturer, which shares basically the same technology with the Coway AP-1512HH, but with a few cuts in additional features and actual performance rating. Still, if you only want a tower air purifier with a small base, the Coway AP-1216L is good to go for.

In addition, if you want to taste the high-end features of Coway AIRMEGA lineup, you should search for the Coway AP-1512HHS. It adds the Wi-Fi capability to the Coway AP-1512HH for just an extra cash.

4) Honeywell True HEPA Allergen Remover HPA300 – High Performance Rating

Honeywell is not just an air purifier brand. In fact, this Fortune-100 company invents and manufactures technologies for a lot of world’s challenges like energy, security, productivity and so on.

Honeywell HPA300 is a powerful air purifier to get in the low-range budget. There’s no doubt about that, this air purifier is certified by the Energy Star and California Air Resources Board (CARB) to be very efficient.

1. Pre-filter – The pre-filter has Activated Carbon filter in it. This will both help adsorb VOCs, gases, odors and traps larger particles.
2. True HEPA Filter – The powerful True HEPA filter can capture up to 99.97% of as small as 0.3 microns pollutant particles like pet dander, mold, viruses, bacteria and pollen.

A special mention that Honeywell is using the best True HEPA filter technology in the world. With only one layer of True HEPA filter, Honeywell HPA300 is still on par with Coway AP-1512HH in terms of power. As we can see below, this True HEPA filter is capable of capturing the 0.005 microns viruses.

To reduce the size of this air purifier, Honeywell has combined both the pre-filter and activated carbon filter. However, this pre-filter needs to be replaced after 3 months. This is a big minus to Honeywell HPA300 because of the high filter replacement cost.

While standing in the low-range segment, Honeywell HPA300 utilizes a very high fan power, as well as fantastic CADR and ACH ratings that even surpass any mid-range air purifiers. As a result, this machine can handle a very large area up to 465 square feet, verified by the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM).

This air purifier is clearly for anyone who just wants pure performance of air cleaning, but doesn’t cost a fortune like any Austin Air or AllerAir devices. That’s why Honeywell HPA300 lacks the important Smart Sensor, and you need to manually control this air purifier.

Our verdict is Honeywell HPA300 is still one of the best air purifiers we’ve put through its paces to date, earning even good reviews praising its build and performance versus cost.

Here is the pros/cons of Honeywell HPA300:

Review: Honeywell HPA300 Review.

The Honeywell HPA300 is capable and powerful, but if you only need an air purifier for a smaller room, Honeywell provides a variety of selections for air purifiers, being the smallest Honeywell HPA100 (with 155 square feet) or the medium Honeywell HPA200 (with 310 square feet).

Basically, all Honeywell’s products share the same technology, only with the difference in the size and the room coverage. So before purchasing any Honeywell’s products, please check your room’s area again. If you want the smart features, you should look for the Honeywell HPA250B or the Honeywell HPA8350B.

5) Winix AM90 – The Best Budget Smart Air Purifier

For the Winix, this is a must-look brand when looking for an air purifier in your home. With more than 15 years experience in the U.S market, the Korean-based brand is the ultimate solution for any kinds of pet allergies, packing with the high-end tech for a surprisingly low price. Of all the Winix air purifiers on the market at the moment, the Winix AM90 is the most affordable smart air purifier you can get right now.

Being certified by the Energy Star, AHAM and CARB for its great performance, the Winix AM90 delivers the exclusive air filtration system made only by the South Korean company.

1. Pre-filter – The polluted air must pass through a built-in pre-filter. This pre-filter will help capture the large objects of contaminants, such as pet hair and even some kinds of pet dander and skin.
2. Activated Carbon Filter – The air filter can adsorb household odors from cooking, pets, and smoke and reduce VOCs.
3. True HEPA filter – The True HEPA Filter that captures 99.97% of as small as 0.3 microns allergens, virus particles, pollen, mold and fungi particles.
4. Winix PlasmaWave – The exclusive Winix technology to safely destroy the pollutants. Can be switched on/off.

Winix AM90 features the unique technology of Winix – PlasmaWave, to produce both positive and negative ions (in plasma state). Then it will generate the Hydroxyls to neutralize any kinds of airborne pollutants such as viruses, bacteria, germs, odors, and chemical gases (VOCs). This technology can basically kill even the tiniest biological particles, as small as 0.1 microns.

The combination of both True HEPA Filter and PlasmaWave technology is the reason why this Winix AM90 is so powerful against most toxic contaminants. Moreover, not like the ionizer filter, the PlasmaWave won’t irritate asthma and respiratory issues. That’s why PlasmaWave is considered the safest technology to combat with the smallest bacteria.

Mix these air filtration systems all together and throw in a high fan power, and you come out with an air purifier that can cover 360 square feet without any problem. The Winix AM90 is verified by the AHAM, and it matches the performance with both Coway AP-1512HH and Honeywell HPA300 in the same price range.

But the headline act is the Smart features, which is the reason to buy the Winix AM90 over other air purifiers. You can control this air purifier via Wi-Fi, both by your smartphone and Alexa’s voice commands. Also, you will have a Smart Sensor, to adjust the fan speed accordingly to the environment’s need.

Here is the pros/cons of Winix AM90:

Review: Winix AM90 Review.

Related post: Best air purifiers for pets.

You can both find the Winix 5300-2 and Winix 5500-2 with more appealing price, but you should know that these air purifiers don’t have an advanced pre-filter like the Winix AM90, so the ability of trapping odors and chemicals is a bit lower.

The new Winix C545 is available, and with many smart features like the Winix AM90, it could be a good alternative. However, it seems the air purifier isn’t from the official dealer of Winix America, so the Winix AM90 is still a safer option, because it is shipped and sold by Amazon.

Or if you are not a fan of the Wi-Fi Enabled air purifiers, you can look for the Winix HR900, which is our best air purifier for pets in 2020. This air purifier has a specialized pre-filter for pet hair and dander, but it costs a bit more than Winix AM90, while doesn’t have the wireless internet capabilities.

6) GermGuardian AC9200WCA – Best UV Light for Killing Viruses and Bacteria

As an U.S brand for manufacturing only high-quality air purifiers, the Guardian Technologies is making a lot of good to great air purifiers using UV-C light filtration technology, which is able to render the mold spores, viruses and bacteria useless. Among many devices, the GermGuardian AC9200WCA is the most powerful flagship, with many certifications of the Energy Star, AHAM and CARB for high performance, energy efficiency and safety.

1. Pre-filter – A normal pre-filter screen that can capture large dust particles and pet hair, mostly to help extend the True HEPA filter life.
2. True HEPA filter – GermGuardian AC9200WCA uses True HEPA filter to filter up to 99.97% of as small as 0.3 microns particles like household dust, pet dander, mold spores and plant pollen.
3. Activated Carbon Filter – The Activated granular carbon filter reduces odors from pets, smoking, cooking along with harmful VOCs emitted from a variety of household products and chemicals.
4. UV-C Light – The latest GermGuardian UV-C light bulb to kill germs without the use of chemicals and produces no ozone or chemical sprays. It can also kill airborne bacteria, viruses and mold spores.

If you are facing problems with the viruses, bacteria and mold spores – which are the biological contaminant particles, traditionally, we’d be pointing you towards an air purifier with UV-C light filter. The UV-C light, which is harmless to us, can work with titanium dioxide and disrupt the core DNA of the germs and viruses, and destroy them totally.

GermGuardian AC9200WCA doesn’t only have this UV-C bulb to be efficient, the device also features the high-quality and superb True HEPA filter and Activated Carbon filter. Its jaw-droppingly good performance is associated with a high CADR-rating fan power, verified by the AHAM. Through many rigorous tests, we can confirm the fan power of this GermGuardian AC9200WCA is even better than the Rabbit Air BioGS 2.0.

Certain aspects of the device can’t compete with some of the other high-ranking air purifiers in our best air purifier 2020 guide, such as the lack of Smart Sensor, or out-and-out brand desirability.

Here is the pros/cons of GermGuardian AC9200WCA:

The Guardian Technologies is the leader in low-range budget air purifiers. For the price, the GermGuardian AC4825, GermGuardian AC4300, and GermGuardian AC5250PT are the top choices to pick. All of these air purifiers are tower devices, with nearly the same power and performance. To tell the difference, we recommend you to check their reviews on Breathe Quality.

If you are looking for the best alternative to the GermGuardian AC9200WCA, perhaps the GermGuardian AC5900WCA is the most suitable option. It is also verified by the AHAM, with a bit lower performance and smaller room coverage than the flagship, but it is also cheaper.

8) Blueair Classic 680i – A bit more for Ultra Performance

If you are still reading, you have already aimed at mid-range to high-range air purifiers. Beside the high-quality air filter, the air purifier is nothing but a powerful fan to suck in the air from your whole room. The more powerful the fan is, the more expensive your device will be.

Blueair is a powerhouse in the air purifier industry, marking 20 years in this market. It is not a surprise if you have heard the well-known name of Blueair. Right now, the Blueair device that impresses us the most is the Blueair Classic 680i. Let’s look at the powerful air filtration of this machine, which is completely safe for being complied with CARB’s standard.

1. Particle/DualProtection filter – You can choose from the Particle Filter with the power to capture 99.97% of pollutants such as pollen, dust, pet dander, mold spores, viruses and bacteria down to 0.1 microns. Otherwise, you can pay more for DualProtection Filter, which is most likely the combination of True HEPA filter and Activated Carbon filter.

It is the trend that high-range air purifiers come with only one alone air filter, to help the users install quicker and easier. By combining both mechanical and electrostatic filtration, the Blueair Classic 680i has high efficiency against even as small as 0.1 microns airborne particles. Moreover, with the DualProtection air filter, made of high-porosity coconut carbon, Blueair Classic 680i can adsorb most of the common gaseous pollutants like Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), traffic exhaust, smog, odors, and smoke.

The Blueair Classic 680i features the Smart Sensor, which was lacked in the previous Classic 605. Still, this air purifier is the flagship of the well-known Classic series in the Blueair family. It is certified by AHAM to clean a room of 700 square feet with very high fan power: 400 Dust/ 450 Smoke/ 450 Pollen (cfm). As high fan power as the Blueair Classic 680i is, it is energy efficient with a certification of Energy Star. Believe us, this air purifier has a much better performance/energy rating than any members in the Blueair family.

Blueair not only focuses on the performance of their air purifiers, but also improves the Smart features for their modern machines. Blueair Classic 680i makes use of a perfect Wi-Fi enabled connection. By downloading the Blueair Friend app and connecting it to the Classic 680i, you can control this air purifier using an Android or iOS smartphone. Moreover, Blueair Classic 680i is compatible with Alexa.

If you want to put a stop to your allergies and asthma symptoms, this is one of the best deals you could get.

Here is the pros/cons of Blueair Classic 680i:

Review: Blueair Classic 680i Review.

In the Blueair Classic family, we will have air purifiers from all ranges of room coverage. The Blueair Classic 280i can cover only 280 square feet, while the Blueair Classic 480i is able to clean any room within 434 square feet. If you don’t need a giant air purifier for extra-large rooms, you should select these air purifiers instead of the Blueair Classic 680i.

Also, we are happy to show you the Blueair Sense+, an eye-catching expression of modern style. With the well-known technology of Blueair, you will have a Blueair Classic in a more modern design but smaller room coverage (only 186 square feet).

   • Fresh – The next level HEPA filter will improve the first Pure, with the addition of Activated Carbon filter, to deal with the household odors and chemicals. This air filter is necessary for people who are sensitive to VOCs.
   • Pet – Without the Activated Carbon filter, the Pet air filter uses the Alen’s patented Molecular Conversion Powder to ensure heavy pet odors are destroyed at a molecular level.
   • Heavy Odor – Alen BreatheSmart 75i changed the Molecular Conversion Powder in the Pet air filter to make the new Heavy Odor filter, which can remove the household odors from smelly kids/teenagers, kitchen garbage, and other everyday activities.
3. Ionizer – The ionizer is used to improve the efficiency of this Alen BreatheSmart 75i. Can be switched on/off.

The Alen BreatheSmart 75i is the first time the brand’s True HEPA air purifier was seen as a real rival to the Rabbit Air MinusA2. With 4 different types of True HEPA filter, Alen BreatheSmart 75i is ready to deal with any types of pollutant particles.

It has better fan power than every predecessor sharing its brand, with a large room coverage of 1300 square feet. However, with the WhisperMax technology, Alen BreatheSmart 75i is undoubtedly quiet. This air purifier also generates soothing pink noise – a frequency proven to help you sleep 25% better. A great air purifier for the bedroom, right?

The device is still an absolute looker with 15 panel color options including of white, oak, brushed bronze and stainless, black, rosewood, natural maple and more to match your personal style.

For a smaller room, you can choose between the Alen BreatheSmart 45i or the Alen BreatheSmart FLEX. With their lifetime warranty, the customers could believe that their investment will be long-term.

10) IQAir GC MultiGas – High-range representative

In this high-range segment, only the bulky machines which can cover a large area have a chance to compete in. IQAir is that giant, with the foundation to be 50 years ago, and one active partner of the American Lung Association.

Let’s look at the product IQAir proudly claim to be the #1 Air purifier for smoke, odors and MCS – IQAir GC MultiGas. This air purifier features four stages of superior filtration as below:

1. HyperHEPA filter – The first stage of filtration features a powerful pre-filter, which can capture 99% of particles down to 0.3 microns, and 95% of particles as small as 0.003 microns.
2. Cartridge-based activated carbon filter – Made with the highest quality ABS plastics, this filter can remove VOCs and odors effectively.
3. Cartridge-based chemisorption – This stage destroys harmful chemicals, such as formaldehyde, by an oxidation process inside a chemically active alumina pellet.
4. Post-filter sleeve – A post-filter sleeve wraps each gas cartridge to prevent media dust from being released.

Instead of trying to prolong the lifetime of True HEPA filter with a pre-filter, IQAir GC MultiGas implement the HyperHEPA technology to increase the particulate loading capacity by 13%. As a result, your air filter will run for a good one year.

Next, their two cartridge-based adsorptions are responsible for destroying any harmful chemicals in smoke. This process is backed up with an unique 3D UltraSeal no-leakage design to prevent air from escaping back into the room without being drawn through the GC MultiGas filters.

The bottom line is the most powerful, energy efficient New Edition fan. With an astonishing high CADR rating of 300 cfm and up to 776 cfm, IQAir GC MultiGas is a powerhouse in the area of 1125 square feet. Moreover, the new fan design reduces the sound pressure, making this air purifier as quiet as possible.

As a high-end machine, IQAir GC MultiGas also has many smart features like Automated Start, intelligent filter life monitor, Advanced timer and Advanced fan speed selection. This air purifier can be controlled via a remote controller. However, the IQAir GC MultiGas doesn’t have a built-in sensor, so you can’t use the Auto Mode for this air purifier.

For the performance rating of IQAir GC MultiGas, there is no better test than how the IQAir president – Frank Hammes had stepped in a chamber full of smoke within 10 minutes. We don’t dare to test it at home, and we warn you not to try this.

If you are a non-smoker, perhaps you should look for the IQAir HealthPro Plus. It is claimed to be #1 air purifier for allergies and asthma. Instead of using an ABS cartridge to adsorb the chemicals and VOCs like GC MultiGas, IQAir HealthPro Plus purifies the air with a normal 3-layer filtration system. The difference is HealthPro Plus is using the next level of HyperHEPA filter (H12/13) to capture 99.97% down to 0.3 microns, and 99.5% of 0.003 microns particles.

Meanwhile, IQAir Atem is one of the best personal air purifiers. This air purifier is small enough to fit in your carry-on, and has perfect size for your work space. If you are convinced by the high-range devices of IQAir, you should check the price right now.
