2. 5-In-1 Air Purifier With HEPA Filter and Negative Ion Generator; $109 (26 percent off)

Next, the air passes through a True HEPA filter, where any dust mites, pollen, and other allergens get stuck. An activated carbon filter then absorbs contaminants and impurities before sending the air through to the cold catalyst filter to remove any formaldehyde or remaining impurities.
