10. Only for the cash-short - Hamilton Beach 04163 $135, Not perfect, not expensive either. 04163 is discontinued, but similar HB air cleaners are available at around $100. Hamilton Beach Air Purifier

Different air purifier filters target different types of air pollution. HEPA air purifiers are the most popular, and they are perfect for eliminating household allergens such as dust, animal dander, and pollen, but they are not very good at capturing ultra-fine particles like viruses or eliminating foul odors, organic compounds, or chemical fumes.

An air purifier is a device which removes contaminants from the air. These devices are commonly marketed as being beneficial to allergy sufferers and asthmatics, and at reducing or eliminating second-hand tobacco smoke. Commercial grade air purifiers are manufactured as either small stand-alone units or larger units that can be affixed to an air handler unit (AHU) or to an HVAC unit found in the medical, industrial, and commercial industries.
