22 models fit, out of 70 checkedPicked for one job
The best air purifier to run in your bedroom
Top pick
Levoit Vital 200S-P
The Levoit Vital 200S-P is a balanced choice for a bedroom. Its 250-CFM maximum output leaves headroom, every display can go dark and the wide lower inlet makes cleaning the prefilter easier. Airflow in Sleep mode is lower, so size the purifier for a fan speed you can tolerate. If formal True HEPA documentation matters more to you than a mechanical-only air path, choose the Winix 5530.
Why it suits this job
- Spare capacity at maximum speed for the room
- Controls that can be darkened
- The catch

- Go with Winix 5530 if
- Bedrooms and medium rooms where you need certified filtration, prefiltration suited to pets and smart automation
More reasons we picked it
- A verified CADR that suits the room
- Automatic control, plus filter upkeep you can predict
