One of our other picks for best air purifiers for this year, the Blueair Blue Pure 211 Plus is an ideal choice if you’re looking to clean the air in a large room. It runs quietly, as low as 23 decibels on the lowest speed so that it doesn’t disrupt your sleep or any other activity. This air purifier weighs 13 pounds and has a simple interface that’s easy to use. It also features a true HEPA filter certified to clean air in spaces up to 550 square feet. It also features activated carbon in the combination filter so, in addition to removing particles like pollen, dust and viruses from the air, your purifier will also remove odor and gas.
