Households often contain particulate matter (PM) in the air such as dust, dirt, or smoke, and breathing in PMs can irritate your eyes, nose, and throat, and smaller particles may even irritate your lungs, according to the CDC. The good news is, using an air purifier can help reduce PMs in the air, resulting in a healthier environment for you and your family. So if you’re feeling those fall allergies harder than usual, now’s a good time to buy one.
Air purifiers can range in price, but in the lead-up to Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, you can score the Winix 9800 4-Stage True HEPA Air Purifier for almost $50 off its original price. After testing 67 air purifiers as part of our BHG Recommends program, we determined that this device was the best air purifier for large rooms. It has a coverage of 500 square feet, and it can filter out both PMs and VOCS (volatile organic compounds).

To help you monitor your air quality, this air purifier can connect to the accompanying Winx app. The app can show you the specific air quality at any given moment as well as information about the air quality over several months. You can also use the app to schedule times for the air purifier to run.
While testing air purifiers, we exposed them to smoke, artificial pet hair, and dust in an enclosed space. Using an air quality monitor, we measured how quickly the air purifier was able to reduce PM in the air. The Winix 9800 Air Purifier was able to reduce PM levels in the air from 800 to 6.5 in just five minutes.
This air purifier earned a perfect 5 out of 5 score for its setup and features, and it earned a high score for its effectiveness, design, and noise level. We also loved that this air purifier was easy to maintain thanks to a washable pre-filter and an easily replaceable True HEPA filter. After testing this air purifier in the real world for over six months, we even found that it helped reduce one of our testers’ nighttime coughing.
