An air purifier is a device which removes contaminants from air. Air purifies are commonly marketed as being particularly beneficial to allergy sufferers and asthmatics and at reducing second-hand tobacco smoke.
Dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, dust mite feces can act as allergens, triggering allergies in sensitive people. Smoke particles and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can pose a risk to health. Air purifiers are used to reduce the concentration of these airborne contaminants and are especially useful for people who suffer from allergies and asthma. They also reduce the need for frequent household cleaning.

I got one, but it's several years old, was just cleaning it today and thinking I could get a new model
