From smokers blowing garbage into the air around your place to natural allergens, dander, and pollen, air purifiers are a great answer to the many agents trying to make you sneeze.

Best for Small Spaces: Coway Airmega 250
Scouted Contributor G.L. DiVittorio swears by this air purifier. She writes that after figuring out her ideal airflow setting, she noticed a different immediately. Her throat was no longer scratchy, and she didn't have puffy eyes either. The machine is quiet and perfect for small spaces.
Best Feature: While some air purifiers are small, they can't purify a room quite quickly enough. This one remains compact, yet gets the job done in no time.

Perfect for your desk, nightstand, or kitchen counter, this is Dyson’s answer to purifiers. It's also a favorite of Scouted contributor Rachel Krantz.

This all-in-one machine is a great way to save space and upgrade your air quality in my opinion.
Best Feature: Not only is it a top notch air purifier that you can tuck in the corner, it also serves as a top-of-the-line humidifier for the winter months, and as an excellent cooling fan for warmer ones. You can control it on your phone, too.
Best Luxury Option: Blue Air Healthprotect 7770i
Scouted Contributor Steven John says this air purifier is the most advanced he’s tried, but is well worth it.
Best Feature: It is extremely effective and efficient in cleaning air through every test Steven has put it through, and he loves how you can see via an app how well it’s doing. He says it is not cheap, but “it’s proven to remove 99.7% of particles like dust, dander, smoke, pollen, and more, and is therefore, money well spent.”
