Best Air Purifier Black Friday Deals 2026

The Mighty2 is the purifier most people should buy for a bedroom or living room. Wirecutter made it its top pick in May, its first new one in a decade. In its burned-dinner test it removed almost exactly as much smoke as the original Mighty, so the decision came down to noise, lighting and how easy it is to live with. HouseFresh found it cleared PM1 particles in 23 minutes at top speed and 38 minutes at the second setting, and across its tests it outperformed the original Mighty, the Vital 200S and the Winix 5510. RTINGS found it much better than the original at the low, quiet speeds you leave running overnight.

Skip it if you want phone control: it has no app, and the Vital 200S below does.

This is not a deal yet. At about $270 it matches its 90-day average, and it sold for about $216 in early August. We would wait for Black Friday week.

The Vital 200S is the pick for anyone who wants an app, schedules and Alexa or Google voice control. HouseFresh cleared PM1 in 23 minutes with it, matching the Mighty2's top speed and one of the fastest results it has recorded under $200. Reviewed found it quiet at everyday settings, and like the Mighty2 it has no ionizer.

Live Science called it large and boxy, so measure the spot first if it is going in a small bedroom. The carbon and HEPA layers are bonded into one filter, which means replacing the whole thing once the carbon is spent, even if the HEPA layer still has life in it.

At about $170 from Amazon it is only a few dollars under its 90-day average, though that is still about $100 less than the Mighty2. It fell to about $140 in May, and that is the price to watch for.

The Airmega 100 is our budget pick for a small bedroom, dorm or office. NBC Select names it a runner-up for small rooms, and HouseFresh measured a PM1 CADR of 148 cfm at top speed, enough for a room of about 220 sq ft at five air changes an hour. It is also cheap to run: HouseFresh put a year of filters and round-the-clock electricity at about $73.

Noise is the catch. HouseFresh measured 57.2 dBA at top speed and 46.5 dBA at the next setting down. Its carbon is a thin layer of fabric, so for smoke or cooking smells, look at the Winix 5510.

At about $120 it sits right at its 90-day average. It sold for about $76 in mid-November last year, so the budget pick has the most room to fall.

For a big living room or an open-plan space, the Blue Pure 211i Max is the one to buy. Wirecutter and NBC Select both name it their large-room pick, and NBC Select rates it for rooms up to about 635 sq ft. RTINGS found its particle filtration strong, and the main filter lasts longer than most. The fabric pre-filter slips off for washing.

Two things to know first. RTINGS found the ionizer cannot be turned off, so anyone who wants to avoid one should look at the Mighty2 or Vital 200S. It is also loud at top speed.

This is the weakest price on the list right now. At about $350 it costs roughly $40 more than its 90-day average and sits within pennies of its list price. It fell to $200 on November 20 last year, which is the reason to wait.

The Winix 5510 is our pick when the problem is a smell rather than dust: wildfire smoke, a kitchen with no range hood, or a litter box. HouseFresh counted 226 g of activated carbon, the most at this price, and it cleared PM1 in 24 minutes at top speed. Its PlasmaWave ionizer switches off, and the app shows no ads. It replaces the 5500-2, long a favorite at Wirecutter and on Reddit.

It is loud at full speed. HouseFresh measured 67.2 dBA at top speed, louder than rivals with the same CADR, and it trails them at the quiet settings you would use in a bedroom. Light sleepers should pick the Mighty2.

At about $180 it is a few dollars above its 90-day average. It sold for about $123 in late June, so there is plenty of room for a Black Friday cut.

The Blue Signature is for buyers who want top-tier cleaning and a purifier that looks like furniture. HouseFresh rates it among the best it has tested at both high and quiet speeds, with an AHAM-rated PM2.5 CADR of 434 cfm and an accurate laser sensor, and found it cheap to run for that much power. Tom's Guide names it its best air purifier overall, and TechRadar found it quiet for the price. The flat top works as a side table.

As with the 211i Max, the ionizer cannot be disabled. The legs or base that lift it off the floor cost extra, and HouseFresh measured 59.6 dBA at top speed.

At about $440 it sits roughly $50 above its 90-day average. It sold for about $300 in March, so we would not pay this price.

The Hushjet Compact is the one for a nursery, a home office or anyone who sleeps with the purifier on. Engadget names it its best purifier for small rooms and singled out how quietly it runs, as did TechRadar, and Dyson rates the filter for up to five years, so you will rarely buy a replacement. It connects to the MyDyson app over Wi-Fi.

You pay a lot for its size. The Airmega 100 handles a small bedroom for well under half the price, if you can live with more noise. Tom's Guide found the Hushjet too big to sit on a desk, and unlike Dyson's better-known purifiers it does not double as a fan.

At about $300 it is a couple of dollars under its 90-day average, so the card's saving is against a list price it rarely sells for. It fell to about $250 in mid-August.
