I bought Levoit's HEPA air purifier and then bought three more. Here's why.
Air can get stale in cramped spaces, but my Levoit purifier helped keep my indoor air clear.


Granted, it’s not a perfect device — you can only use it for smaller rooms, and I’ve dented the metal construction by accidentally knocking it over. I don’t often use the night light, and am not entirely sure why it exists, unless you leave it in the middle of a walkway and want to avoid tripping over it in the dark. But, ultimately, my Levoit is an affordable HEPA air purifier, and I feel better and breathe better with it in my home. I’d highly recommend it for anyone looking for a quiet, effective and affordable air purifier.
Here are other air purifiers to consider, which we include here based on expert guidance from our previous reporting and Select reader interest. They may be worth considering if you need to clear the air in a larger room than mine or if you want a dual-function purifier.
This air purifier from Instant works for rooms up to 388 square feet and uses a carbon filter and HEPA filter, according to the company. It is available in Pearl and Charcoal.
This dual-function air purifier and fan from Dyson purifies spaces up to 2,860 cubic feet — equivalent to about a 350-square-foot room with 8-foot ceilings — and uses a HEPA filter, according to Dyson. It comes in Nickel and Black.
