I live on the West Coast of California and I suspect that we are going to have another fire season coming up soon. I got this air purifier in advance to put in our nursery just in case. There is nothing worse than dealing with a house full of smoke and setting up Air purifiers in all the rooms has become a necessity. If there is one brand that I trust, it is going to be Instant™. This purifier works great for small rooms and removes all of the impurities in the air. It is also has a small and sleek profile, which is great because in a small room I don't want a big device taking up too much room. This is very easy to control and isn't too loud. Overall I am very happy that I got the Instant™ Air Purifier and would recommend others get it to.
