Our first review looks at the Levoit Core 300, a simple and portable air purifier ideal for the home or office. It is also a great option if you have not bought an air purifier before and are concerned about spending too much, as it is very competitively priced.
It uses a comprehensive 3-stage filtration system, which consists of a pre-filter that catches fur, dust, lint, and other larger particles in a room. After that, the True HEPA filter is designed to eliminate allergens such as pet dander, pollen, and mold spores. Finally, the activated carbon filter gets rid of odors and pollutants such as VOCs and smoke.
Using the Levoit 300 is relatively straightforward, with settings for fan speed and a timer set for 2, 4, 6, or 8 hours of operation. The display not only highlights what settings you have selected but also has a filter change indicator, and you can also lock the display so that children cannot tamper with it.
This air purifier is lightweight and portable; therefore, moving it from one room to another should be no issue. Its design is cylindrical, and with its black color giving it a modern look, it should look fine in any room. However, if black is not your color, there is an additional white option.
This air purifier has TWENTY THOUSAND PLUS positive reviews on Amazon!! *shocked face* This machine is well-loved by the people!!!

If you have larger rooms and find that other air purifiers don't provide the coverage you need, you may appreciate the Honeywell HPA 300 air purifier. It can cleanse the air in rooms of up to 465 square feet, which should be sufficient for most rooms you are likely to use it in.
The Honeywell HPA 300 can clean and circulate the air in larger rooms up to 5 times an hour, which means that in a single day, it is capable of purifying a room 120 times.
Operating the Honeywell HPA 300 is extremely simple, with a touch-control panel on the top.
The controls are clearly marked, and along with the indicators, allow you to operate all the air purifier's features. These include filter check reminders, an auto-off timer for 2, 4, or 8 hours, turbo settings, air cleaning settings, and even a dimmer for the control panel lights should it be used in a bedroom.

For those who need an air purifier suited to smaller rooms, the Blueair Blue Pure 411 Air Purifier is an excellent option. It might not have all bells and whistles that some air purifiers have, but few are as simple and quiet as this one.
We say 'quiet' because of all the air purifiers we reviewed, this one, in most modes, made the least noise of all. The fact that it is also the most economical regarding the amount of energy it uses also gives it a considerable advantage. It is small and compact, meaning it is easy to move and ideal for multiple rooms.
Depending on the decor in those rooms, you can also 'dress' this air purifier in different colors. When we say 'dress,' we refer to the fact that you can purchase other fabric covers for the Blueair Blue Pure 411 and alter its color to suit the room. These include blue, pink, brown, and grey, and as standard, you will receive both the 'Dark Shadow and 'Diva Blue' covers so that you have an option from the start.
The Blueair Blue Pure 411 has a 3-part filtration system, which, as you might expect, starts with the pre-filter, which captures larger particles of dust and pet fur. This filter is washable, so it can be used time and time again. There is also the carbon filter, which helps to remove odors from the room.
Many will appreciate how easy this air purifier is to use; it has a simple one-button control which you press to start it and press again up to three times to select one of the 3 fan speeds.
