Levoit Core 300 Air Purifier

$$$$100

Why It's BuyWhoa:

Reliable all-round HEPA purifier with a durable motor that "will work for ages" thanks to high-precision bearings and sturdy construction. Impressively effective filtration (in tests it left air cleaner than before pollutants), yet simple to maintain with readily available filters.

Winix 5500-2 Air Purifier

$$$$$150

Why It's BuyWhoa:

Sturdy Korean-built unit known for quality and low upkeep. Uses a True HEPA plus a washable carbon filter that traps odors and extends filter life (filters last up to one year), making it a long-lasting workhorse for medium-large rooms.
