A capable, energy-frugal purifier that is worth buying if you can accept its odd looks, noise and weight.

A reliable, decent-value purifier with cheap filters, but it is dated and uses a lot of power.

Appears only as a lab-tested also-ran with moderate particle removal and high energy use; it is worth considering on sale, but better performers exist.
