Product Information

These appliances are much more compact than full-size models, yet most can still pull several ounces of water from the air each day, with some mid-size devices collecting several pints. We’ve rounded up the best small dehumidifiers for every room in your home, from bathrooms to attic crawl spaces.

When set to smart mode, the air purifier will automatically change its settings to best suit the room's air quality and lighting conditions. You can also set a timer, change the fan speed, and easily see when the device needs a filter replacement. If you own pets, you already know how much work it takes to keep a tidy home with a furry friend or two sharing your space. Since pet hair and dander can have a negative impact on your air quality, a reliable purifier can capture and remove allergens from the air you breathe. We chose the Rabbit Air A3 as the best air purifier for pets, because it’s highly customizable, with a specific filter for pet allergies, and very effective.Samantha Jones is an associate commerce editor at Better Homes & Gardens, writing and editing stories about the best patio furniture, pillows, robot vacuums and other home products worth buying. For this story, she spent several days researching important features in the best air purifiers, then compared her findings with insights gathered from our lab tests in Des Moines, Iowa. She also interviewed Kenneth Mendez, president and chief executive officer of AAFA, and Tim Carroll, representative of the Environmental Protection Agency, for their expertise on this topic. When testing the Honeywell HPA 104 Hepa Air Purifier in our lab, we found that it was effective at removing particles from the air, but it took more time to do so than other models. While it offered different fan speeds and settings on the machine itself, it didn't have app connectivity and only worked in rooms up to 155 square feet, so we chose to feature other units in our list of the best air purifiers.

The Veva model used very little wattage when running for 30 minutes, so we think this would be an excellent choice for saving money on energy bills down the line. To find the best small dehumidifiers, we tested out multiple models for their real-world effectiveness in capturing moisture and user-friendliness. In our time using the Pro Breeze, Costway, and a model from GE (that didn’t make this list), we ran them on their normal settings for their size. We considered the amount of water each captured, their overall sound levels, how easy they were to use, and any extra features (sleep timer, humidity sensors, auto-shutoff, etc.). The only exception was when I stayed at a house in New Delhi that had the windows open, and the outside AQI was 250 so that when the wind came through the window it would bring that polluted air indoors. In that scenario, the only thing that worked well was to close the windows and doors of 1 room and run a large air purifier to clean the entire room. OR wear a mask and carry this little purifier under my chin! One of the biggest pros of purchasing a small air purifier is its ability to move with you from room to room. Whether you work in an enclosed office, want to improve the air quality in your RV or camper, or you simply want flexibility with where you use your home appliances, the best portable air purifiers are lightweight enough to take with you just about anywhere.Dust, pollen, smoke removal is how well a model cleared air of fine clay dust and cigarette smoke when operating at its highest speed. A model that scores well for dust removal should perform comparably for pollen. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, research has shown that the air inside our homes is often even more polluted than the air we breathe outside, which can contribute to allergies, aggravate asthma, and make you more susceptible to illness. The best air purifiers can help minimize these symptoms by trapping airborne particles and removing them from the air you breathe. In the box you’ll find the air purifier, a hepa filter, a detached handle that also acts a stand, a USB C to USB A cord for charging, and the user manual/warranty cards. It’s important to note that the HEPA filter is wrapped in a protective plastic that needs to be removed prior to use. The purifier has a turn style knob on the bottom for easy removal of the filter for cleaning or replacement; which is recommended every 6 months. There is only one button on the front of the unit to turn on one of three fan speeds, LED lights indicating which speed you’re on, with the USB port on the rear with an LED indicator for charging.
