    Named the best air purifier available, with the strongest particle and smoke removal the lab had measured, very quiet running and simple controls.

    Picked as best for large rooms in smoke tests, with strong smoke and particle performance and good value.

    Popular ScienceNo printed score · Buying guide

    Picked as the best quiet purifier; the team saw it respond quickly to cooking smoke and found it barely audible, stylish and app-controllable.
