WIRED has published a buying guide highlighting current sales on tested air purifiers, including a Blueair model that combines HEPA filtration with heating and cooling for small rooms up to 175 square feet. The guide recommends portable, HEPA-equipped units as a lower-cost alternative to whole-house systems for reducing allergens, smoke, and airborne illness particles indoors during winter.
Levoit has released the Vital Pet Pro Air Purifier, a $189.99 device built specifically for pet owners dealing with fur and odor. It uses a three-stage filtration system—a washable pre-filter, a main filter, and an activated carbon filter containing 140 grams of carbon—plus a U-shaped air inlet designed to capture pet hair and improve airflow. Levoit claims the device can eliminate up to 70% of odors within an hour.
GoKawiil's testing found the Levoit Vital 200S-P and Coway Airmega Mighty2 cleared simulated smoke pollutants and restored healthy air quality readings in just over four minutes each. The IQAir HealthPro Plus XE performed even better, preventing visible smoke buildup and returning AQI levels to 'good' within three minutes, while the Shark BreatheClear Max struggled, requiring a manual restart and nearly five hours to recover.
