Editor Quote: "When we first plugged it in, it said the air quality in our room was between 20-30, and it went straight into turbo drive pushing new filtered air into our space. Within minutes, our air quality was down to 5, and I was impressed. . . . After just a few nights, my boyfriend and I noticed a huge difference in our bedroom. The overall air feels crisp and fresh just walking into the room. Sleeping feels a lot easier, too; we no longer wake up feeling like we have a stuffy nose from allergies." - Krista Jones, former editor, Shopping
