I'm no expert on air purifiers, but the Conair medium room one seemed to do the trick. 
Didn't even know Conair made these but I guess it makes sense since their air products are already top-notch. 
I was worried that it might be noisy and disrupt the peaceful ambiance of my apartment, but I was pleasantly surprised. It operates silently in the background, allowing me to enjoy the tranquility of my space without any distractions.
It was easy to use and made the air in my apartment feel fresher. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for an alternative to the uber expensive brands out in the market.
