When our second child was born, my wife and I decided to get an air purifier for keeping the nursery extra clean. After much research, we finally went with a Molekule, a truly gorgeous cylindrical piece of hardware that left the baby's room and much of the upstairs beyond it smelling and feeling perceptibly cleaner. If you have ever smelled fresh oxygen, such as you might encounter at an oxygen bar, that's the scent that permeated several rooms.

Now sold on the benefits of air purifiers, we decided to get another for the main floor, without spending quite as much money. I turned to the brand Blueair and their (then) new 480i Air Purifier. At $525, this thing is still far from cheap, but it costs hundreds less than the Molekule and does a superlative job scrubbing the air clean in a space up to 430 square feet.
Then, when it came time to get one more purifier (yes, I know we went overboard, but believe me, it's pretty damn fresh up in here), with price being one of our top priorities in the shopping process, we landed on the Elechomes UC3101 Air Purifier, which sells for $200. And it turned out to be quite comparable to the one that costs $525.
