That’s true for the second contender on the list, but I think you’ll be impressed all the same.Holmes Small Room 3-Speed Air Purifier
This model from Holmes has been chosen for this section for its compact size. It can be packed up and stashed in the car, caravan or in the corner of a large suitcase. The only catch here is that you will need to use the aer1 True-HEPA Allergen Performance-Plus replacement filter to catch those smoke particles.The air purifier comes with an HEPA-type filter which only catches particles as small as 2 microns (smoke particles are smaller than 1 micron). But it’s easy enough to purchase the replacement filter from the Holmes website.

Lifesmart Medical Grade Air Purifier designed for large rooms
This is a seriously no-nonsense air purifier, as anything with “medical grade” stamped on it usually indicates. The HEPA filter is not only “true” but it is medical grade. The carbon filter is also an amped-up version of the usual, designed to neutralize not only odors but harmful gasses. It’s a good choice for homes where smoke is a problem, and where asthmatics live and breathe. It will take care of all allergens, not only smoke. It’s not the most handsome machine alive, but it certainly does its job.Top features
- Caters to rooms as large as 750 square feet

- Has a military carbon cloth high-efficiency gas absorption filter for odours
- Takes in air from the full 360 degrees around the unit for thorough cleaning
