Even living in a historic home comes with its own challenges of dust and pollen that may trigger my allergies. About six years ago, I got my first air purifier in the hope that it would aid me in battling allergies and breathe a lot easier. The results have been significant.

Air purifiers are designed to capture everything from dust to pollen, pet dander, and even bacteria and toxic chemicals. Since using an air purifier with high quality filtration, Ive experienced less allergen triggers and swollen sinuses at night. Most air purifiers will bring some relief to
allergy sufferers, but some are better than others. Ive put together a list
of the top three air purifiers that will reduce the effects of allergy season through various modes, smart features, and high-quality filters. Read on to learn more.

These are our 3 top-rated options The best air purifier: 8 powerful purifiers, tried and tested by experts Image 1 of 6 (Image credit: Future) (Image credit: Future) (Image credit: Future) (Image credit: Future) (Image credit: Future) (Image credit: Future) GoveeLife Smart Air Purifier Lite The GoveeLife Smart Air Purifier Lite has a three-in-one HEPA Filter which includes a pre-filter that removes hair, lint, and fibers and a Personal HEPA filter that traps PM 2.5 and any other 0.1-0.3 micron particles such as dust, bacteria, dander, smoke, smog, ash, and pollen. Finally, an active carbon filter clears odors quickly.

For $50, you get quite a bit of features including app and voice control and four modes sleep, low, high, and custom modes. With the custom mode, you can set the air purifier on high, low, or sleep mode for a certain amount of
time. Unfortunately, the app doesnt share air quality data, so you arent able to see how well the filter clears the air of things that could trigger your allergies. If youre especially sensitive, you might want to set the purifier on high during allergy season and in the late afternoons (with the custom mode) when pollen levels rise . Thanks to its compact size, youll have no issue moving the air purifier to whichever room youre in.

While the GoveeLife Smart Air Purifier Lite has an aromatherapy feature, our tester found the results underwhelming. This might not be a bad thing since some essential oils exacerbate allergies. That said, you might want to give the aromatherapy feature a try since peppermint and eucalyptus oils are known to alleviate inflammation caused by allergies.

This slim purifier has the capability of purifying larger spaces thanks to three-stage filtration system, which includes a washable pre-filter that captures dust, pet fur, lint, and hair, an H13 True HEPA filter that traps dust, pollen, dander, and fine dust, and an activated charcoal filter combo that keeps your home odor-free. The vents are adjustable, so you have some control over the direction of the airflow.

Users can choose Sleep, Turbo, or Auto mode with the onboard buttons or an app. In Auto mode, the Levoit EverestAir can sense airborne articles and increase or decrease the fan speed to best clear the air. We love that it can detect PM 1.0, PM 2.5, and PM 10 which includes everything from fine dust to pet dander, dust, pollen, ash, and airborne allergens. In our tests, the Levoit EverestAir cleaned the air about 5 times per hour on the highest setting in a single room with the door closed. We suggest leaving it in a central space and opening your doors as it has the capability of purifying
354 cubic feet per minute.

The Dreame AirPursue PM20 detects and purifies the air of PM1, PM2.5, PM10, HCHO, and TVOC, which you can monitor in real time in the app. Dreame notes that the air purifier can clean 1,833 square feet in 15 minutes. I put this to the test and discovered that the air purifier cleaned the air
of toxic contaminants from hair spray in about 11 minutes.

The Dreame AirPursue PM 20 is outfitted with a HEPA 13 grade filter which removes indoor pollen, dust mites, bacteria, haze, viruses, and other materials efficiently. A carbon filter maximizes the filter quality by removing kitchen fumes, pet odor, TVOC, formaldehyde, and other harmful
gases. If all that wasnt enough, the Dreame AirPursue PM20 has smart features like AI Purify that automatically switches on the purifier when it recognizes any pollutants increasing. Plus, with AI follow, the purifier tracks your movements around the room and adjusts the air flow to clean the air around you. For an allergy sufferer, this can make a tremendous difference. The $639.99 / 499 price tag is high, but considering all the smart features, its cooling and heating capabilities, and pet and comfort modes, its a worthy allergen-reducing tool to invest in.
