Air purifiers are great for cleansing and filtering the air around us and keeping it constantly moving so it doesn’t just sit there and collect toxins and particles. There are great advantages in having a travel purifier, as well. Such situations where it will come in handy may be in your car – exhaust fumes, ozone, and allergens that come through a car’s ventilation system are much worse than the levels of them outside of the vehicle; in the airplane – the air sits and circulates, full of other traveler’s germs and many potential illnesses that you probably don’t wish to catch; or on the go to take with you to the office or hotel rooms, where you’d use it just as you would at home. Whatever you would personally need a travel air purifier for, this is surely a product that just about anyone will find a great use for. AirPod
This is hands-down one of the best portable personal air purifiers around. It may not be able to purify entire rooms, but it’s perfect of surrounding you with clean air in small areas when you’re on the go. It has a patented HEPA Silent Filter technology, that removes 99% of all particles, including pollen, pet dander, dust, and mold spores. The negative ion charges in the air (without giving off any ozone) helps particles cling more easily to the filter. While its cleaning, it works silently, so there’s no annoying noise to worry about. It’s also 35% more efficient energy-wise than most purifiers on the market. Small enough to slip inside a briefcase or backpack, it’s easy to take to the office or wherever you travel. The price ranges around $100, which may seem pricey for a portable purifier, but this is one that definitely gets the job done. Wein 150MM Wearable Air Purifier
Air purifiers that you can actually wear are up and rising, but not many can do a very good job. The Wein 150MM does meet up to and above standards of working well. Just wear it around your neck and get ready for a blast of fresh air for wherever you go. Granted, it’s not good for purifying entire rooms, but it’s perfect in capturing particles out of the air before the person wearing it breathes them in. It’s good to use anywhere you go, but in particular airplanes. If you have problems with catching illnesses after air travel, you may want to consider this product. $100 may be asking a lot of money for such a small device, but with its silent operation, virtually no upkeep, and high effectiveness, the price you pay is well worth it. Secure Air SA1200 UVGI Room Air Sterilizer
The Secure Air SA1200 isn’t exactly billed as a portable air purifier, but it’s small enough to be able to throw into a suitcase or backpack and take with you wherever you go. It works hard to deplete 99% of germs and particles from the air, as its nearly-silent fan works to purify 10,000 cubic feet of air per day. 4 levels of filtration may ask for slight upkeep in cleaning and/or replacing the filters every few months, but such strong filtration also means it’s one of the best when it comes to cleaning out the air. There is also absolutely no ozone generated. The average price for this product is around $90. Germ Guardian PS-100 Personal Air Sanitizer
As another wearable purifier, this one probably isn’t as high in quality as the Wein 150MM, but if you don’t have a whole lot to spend, this one should work adequately. This one emits negative ions into the air that works to push away toxins and allergens. Fitting nicely around your neck or in your shirt pocket, this small device is great for crowded areas and air travel. The operation of the device is silent and very lightweight, and the fact that it’s only $30 makes it something to consider looking into. Surround Air XJ-800 Car Air Purifier
This unique product is not only an air purifier, but an air freshener, making it the perfect device for keeping your car’s air clean, healthy and fresh. It operates by plugging it into the cigarette lighter, and the ionization will work to remove pollutants, allergens, and even cigarette smoke odor. At the same time, the fragrance of your choice (ranging in scents such as apple, pine, vanilla, forest, lavender, or “no scent” for the ones that are sensitive to fragrance) will give your car a pleasant, fresh smell. It comes with adhesive pads and a cord that’s around 5 feet long, so you can place this just about anywhere in your car. As an option, you can purchase an A/C adapter for around $15 on top of this, so you can use for a small room in the house. The overall price of the Surround Air XJ-800 is about $20, and that’s a price and quality that is nearly impossible to beat.
