If you're tight on space or just want a more aesthetically pleasing machine, the best air purifier for home depends on your needs.
If you live in a small apartment like me, you may need to have a multifunctional air purifier for a practical reason: space. These compact, dual-purpose machines are useful if you are tight on square footage or don't want to shell out the money for two separate appliances. Or maybe you're aesthetically driven and want something that looks cool in your space rather than a clunky, large air purifier that can be an eyesore.
Regardless of the reason, these multiuse air purifiers look good, save space, and combine appliances into a single, energy-efficient device.

Works with smart home platforms, Dreo app, and remote
Quiet TIRED Bulky and takes up a lot of space
This Dreo offers 99.97 percent HEPA filtration and an air quality sensor. You can control it with a remote, the Dreo app, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa. Best of all, the fan and purifier can operate independently, in case you need just one or the other or want to extend the filter lifespan (replacements run around $40).

If you're in the market for a fan and purifier in one, this model is definitely worth a look. —Kat Merck
