| Our readers' favorite air purifier is $70, plus 7 top alternatives - SFGate Posted: 24 Aug 2020 04:00 PM PDT  Photo: Amazon/Hearst Newspapers Grappling with air quality levels ranging from "very unhealthy" to "hazardous" amid the ongoing wildfires, many Bay Area residents have sought out air purifiers for their homes. A quality air purifier can help keep wildfire smoke from overtaking your home — and readers responded to the prompt, at one point buying out Amazon's entire stock of the Partu HEPA Air Purifier, which was priced at a modest $69.99 (there's even a $4 off coupon at press time).
That appears to be back in stock now, but that may change even by the time you read this. While we've previously covered what air purifiers do and how they work, we've relied on the expertise of a number of sources to find options that can help if the Partu Air Purifier is sold out, or if you simply want more options. Given the inundation of smoke in Northern California and the relative run on inexpensive air purifiers, you may want to act quickly to get ahold of one. It's worth checking out stock at stores that allow for buying online with in-store pickup, like Walmart, Home Depot,or Best Buy. It's also worth noting that one of the most popular purifiers with our readers, the Partu HEPA Air Purifier is currently shipping faster than most other devices in this list and has 4.3 stars out of 5 on Amazon, though its listed effective area is 107 square feet or the size of an office or bedroom. Most homes will require something bigger. LEVOIT Air Purifier for Home
