This compact Air Purifier from Honeywell is ideal for small spaces and affordable enough to buy for every bedroom in your home. It fits unobtrusively on your dresser or under your desk and the fan is relatively quiet.
They feature a permanent HEPA filter to remove smoke, pet smells and allergens, as well as an ionizer and pre-filter for additional cleaning effectiveness. The HEPA filter can be simply vacuumed four times a year to maintain it and a cleaning indicator serves to remind you when it’s time. The ionizer is optional, as some users dislike the “machine” smell it produces.
This air cleaner is an ideal companion for your bedroom due to its size and multiple fan speeds that can be reduced to a quiet hum – which can actually work as a sleep aid for some people. It even comes with a dim nightlight.
The HEPA filter ensures you’re getting the maximum protection from mold spores and other harmful organisms. Perhaps the biggest appeal is the easy to clean filter, since filter replacement can add a lot to the expense of an air purifier and some filter systems can be a challenge to maintain. It also comes with a 3 year warranty.
The unit measures 10″ by 6″ and 11″ height. It can effectively clean rooms up to a maximum 85 square feet.
