Its three-stage filtration system has the ability to clean everything from tiny airborne bacteria particles and VOCs to pet hair and dust. During testing, we found that it runs quietly, features an intuitive control panel and offers easy-to-change filters. This popular air purifier uses a four-stage filtration process to filter and deodorize up to 99.97% of contaminants from the air. The relatively compact design can handle rooms up 361 square feet in 12 minutes. It also has an eco mode that helps conserve energy when pollutants aren't present. This model dropped further in price earlier this year, but this discount is the best price we've seen since then. MOST POPULAR The Levoit Core 300 Air Purifier comes with multiple fan settings so you can adjust it to your specific needs. And because it runs at a maximum of 24 decibels, you can place it in your bedroom for allergy relief while you sleep. Deputy editor Rose Gordon Sala says, 'I use this air purifier in two of my kids' rooms… It's the perfect air purifier for the bedroom because the controls allow you to switch off all of its lights with a click of a button and tone down the noise to a whisper with the nighttime setting.' Blueair makes some of the most popular air purifiers on the market. This Blue Pure model can clean an expansive 3,048 square feet in 60 minutes, using a HEPA filter to clean 99.97% of airborne particles and odors, like pollen and smoke. It also has built-in smart features you can use to control and customize the device. This Levoit air purifier is made for larger rooms, as it can clean rooms of up to 1,878 square feet with its HEPA filter and three-stage filtration process. It's also especially good for those with extra furry pets, thanks to a Pet Mode fan setting and the U-shaped air inlet designed to trap airborne hair. You can adjust the settings on this air purifier from your phone, where you can also set up a cleaning schedule. While this air purifier does go on sale at this price, we've yet to see the model drop any further in price this year. We crowned the Blueair Blue Pure 511 air purifier as the best pick for bedrooms because it's whisper quiet, features five-layer filtration to clean everything from smoke to allergens and has an intuitive one-button control panel. Plus, its small build means it's easy to find space for, even in small bedrooms. This top-rated air purifier from Coway can cover rooms up to 2,126 square feet, and has a true HEPA filter. In Coway's signature style, this purifier is not only powerful, but also looks chic, so you don't have to worry about it being an eyesore. The Airmega ProX is at one of the lowest prices we've seen this year. Our pick for the best designed air purifier for smoke is on sale for the lowest price we've seen since Black Friday. While Dyson's BP03 Big+Quiet air purifier is large, it's sleek and powerful. It has a three-stage filtration system, it includes a long-lasting HEPA H13-grade filter, which is designed to capture 99.7% of fine particles as small as 0.31 microns. An additional carbon filter reduces smoke odors. Looking for an air purifier and fan combo to help combat summer's heat? The Dyson Purifier Cool is on sale for the lowest price we've found since Black Friday. It has a HEPA filter rated to the HEPA H13 standard, and multiple features that make it a great cooling device. You can program the machine with an app or voice-compatible services like Alexa, Siri and Google Home. Deputy editor Rose Gordon Sala picked up this purifier-fan combo from Dyson, which is currently on sale for 30% off. 'We wanted a bladeless fan in our dining room, so it would be easier to clean and give the whole family a little blast of cool, fresh air at mealtimes this summer, and this Dyson one works very well,' she says. 'It's quiet and powerful, so it doesn't disturb conversations and the fact that it also serves as an air purifier is a bonus as we all have pretty bad allergies.' The device has two-stage HEPA H13 filtration designed to capture 99.97% of particles. How Long Are Prime Day Deals? Prime Day ends July 11 at 11:59 p.m. PST (or 3 a.m. EDT on July 12). You can expect Prime Day deals to last until the sale ends. Just note that some deals will come and go or sell out throughout the sales event, so if you've had your eye on something, we recommend making your purchase. Are Air Purifiers Actually Worth it? Air purifiers are powerful devices that can help trap pollutants like dust, mold or smoke. Their effectiveness depends on the type of filter they use, the size of the room and more. The best air purifiers will have a HEPA filter with a 'true HEPA' designation, which means that a device has undergone testing to meet or exceed the stringent standards set by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). True HEPA filters must trap at least 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. Check out our guide to the best air purifiers for more information.

The best air purifiers for small and large spaces
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the air inside your home may be more polluted than the air outdoors, even if you live in a large city center. One way to improve your air quality indoors is by using an air purifier — they can filter air contaminants like dust, pollen and smoke. The NBC Select team has used air purifiers to filter pollen, odors, pet hair and even wildfire smoke from our homes for years. We spoke with filtration experts to better understand the technical aspects of air quality and filtration in order to select the best air purifiers for your space. How we picked the best air purifiers We spoke with filtration experts to better understand the importance of air quality and purification methods. Following their guidance and our experience using air purifiers, we selected models based on the following criteria: Filtration: All of our recommendations have high-efficiency particulate air filtration (HEPA) and have a clean air delivery rate (CADR) equivalent of at least two-thirds the recommended room square feet. (You can learn more about HEPA and CADR in the FAQ section.) Size: You could have the best air purifier in the world, but if it's the size of a car, it's no good for your studio apartment. We selected air purifiers across a range of sizes. Recommended room size: The Center for Disease Control (CDC) and Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) recommended an air purifier that is capable of filtering that room's air five times and 4.8 times per hour respectively. This is called air changes per hour, or ACH. We selected different strength air purifiers based on this recommendation. (You can learn more about ACH in the FAQ section.) Sound: According to the CDC, prolonged exposure to sound levels above 70 dbA can annoy you and damage your hearing over time. That's why we picked air purifiers with at least three fan speed levels — air purifiers can be loud at their highest speed, so having a low speed option is crucial for keeping spaces like bedrooms quiet. Independent testing: We noted if a product was independently tested by AHAM, which certifies the performance of air purifiers through its AHAM Verifide program. The best air purifiers in 2025 Most of our recommendations are staff favorites from large filtration brands like Coway, Levoit and Blueair. Below each recommendation we share specifications we think you should know like recommended room size (based on the CDC's and AHAM's ACH guidelines), filter lifespan and more. Best for small rooms: Levoit Core 300 This is a great affordable air purifier for small spaces like bedrooms. It's small, quiet, easy to move around and has strong filtration for its size. NBC Select updates editor Mili Godio keeps it in her bedroom to clear dust and pet hair from the air. It has a sleep mode that runs at a very quiet speed and if you are sensitive to light, the bright LEDs on the top panel can be turned off. There is also a version with Wi-Fi and app connectivity, the Core 300S-P, but it costs significantly more at $150. NBC Select commerce editor Lindsay Schneider received the Airmega 100 air purifier from Coway, and it's one of her favorite models. It's easy to set up, intuitive to use and every button has a clear and useful purpose. 'It's truly beginner friendly,' says Schneider. It has a built-in light that acts as either an air quality indicator, changing colors depending on the detected air quality or a warm amber-colored night light. You can turn the light completely off, too. Another highlight is that the HEPA filter lasts a full 12 months before you need to replace it, keeping costs down. NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin has used air purifiers for years to combat her dust and allergen sensitivity. It also helps deal with the pet hair of her two cats and small dog floating around. She uses this Coway air purifier in her living room. Most of the time, she forgets it's even there — it's not very noisy and it has an intelligent auto mode, where it automatically changes speeds depending on the air quality detected. It usually stays at the lowest setting, but if she is cooking a large meal, it will change to a higher setting, acting as a good reminder to turn on a vent or maybe open a window, says Malin. Like our other pick from Coway, the HEPA filter lasts a full 12 months before needing replacement; that's longer lasting than many other competitors. Multiple NBC Select staffers use and love this robust and stylish air purifier from Windmill. Malin, who has dust and allergen sensitivity, has had fewer symptoms ever since she put this unit in her bedroom. Similarly, former NBC Select associate reporter Bianca Alvarez lives with a partner who has asthma and he's noticed his breathing ease after living with this purifier. Both Malin and Alvarez use the Windmill Air app to control the unit remotely from their phones — the app lets you easily check your air quality, filter status and set up automated schedules and routines. The Windmill Air Purifier has another great feature — the child lock function — Malin uses it to prevent her cats from accidentally changing the settings when they inevitably jump on top of the unit. It comes in multiple colors but is pricy and rather heavy at 21 the filters only last up to six months, shorter than most competitors. Blueair makes some of our favorite air purifiers — I've used a different Blue Pure model in my bedrooms for years, including during 2023's Canadian wildfire season. On the day of some of the worst air pollution in NYC, the NBC Select office smelled like a BBQ while my apartment, which had a Blueair Pure 311i+ Max air purifier running, smelled completely normal. The Pure 211i Max is one of the brands largest air purifiers, and has a very powerful filtration fit for large spaces up to 635 square feet. It pulls unfiltered air from all directions into its base, making it easy to place anywhere in your room. It's also relatively quiet and lightweight despite its larger size and strong filtration. You can control it manually or with the Blueair app, where you can see detailed stats like indoor air quality and filter status. I use the app to set a schedule for my purifier — it automatically changes to night mode, the lowest and quietest speed, every evening around 9 PM. How to shop for an air purifier Air purifiers are designed to remove indoor air pollution caused by fuel-burning appliances, cleaning products, heating and cooling systems, car pollution, wildfire smoke and everything in between. These indoor contaminants can enter your lungs and cause irritation or trigger allergic reactions, says Kenneth Mendez, president of the nonprofit Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. Filtration is key when choosing an air purifier. Our experts highlight two factors in getting effective filtration: HEPA filters and an appropriate CADR. You can read more about both in the following FAQ section. Meet our experts At NBC Select, we work with experts who have specialized knowledge and authority based on relevant training and/or experience. We also take steps to ensure all expert advice and recommendations are made independently and without undisclosed financial conflicts of interest. Why trust NBC Select? I am a reporter at NBC Select who covers technology and fitness including guides to smartwatches, cameras and e-readers. For this piece, I spoke with filtration experts to better understand air purifiers and how they function. I leveraged NBC Select staff and my own experience using air purifiers to recommend the best ones for different room sizes.
