Favorite Air Purifier of 2025 Nominees
BlueAir | Pure 511i Max
Known for its simple, unassuming design and high-performance machines, BlueAir is one of the most popular choices for air purifiers. The Pure 511i Max is a perfect example of its well-earned fame. This smart model has four layers of filtration and tracks pollutant levels and filter lifetime in its app. Extra perk: The rounded shape means you won’t have to worry about accidental bumps when baby starts walking.
Coway | Airmega 150
Coway’s Airmega 150 has a modern, award-winning design that comes in three colors, making it easy to coordinate with any nursery. Cleaning 214 square feet in less than 13 minutes with a True HEPA filter, this purifier constantly strips allergens and dust from your baby’s air. Dirty diapers also don’t stand a chance against its three-stage filtration system that includes a deodorization filter.
Crane Baby | 2-in-1 Desk Top Air Purifier & Fan
If you live in an older house or apartment with less than desirable airflow, check out Crane Baby’s 2-in-1 Desk Top Air Purifier & Fan. It’s a compact powerhouse with an H13 True HEPA filter and a three-speed fan that has a 90-degree tilt. At 1.8 pounds, the machine is highly portable which is a plus if overnight stays out of the house stir up the sneezes.
Dupray | Bloom Air Purifier
Doubling as the perfect side table, the Bloom Air Purifier by Dupray has one of the most functional designs we’ve found. While the top holds a burp cloth or your water bottle, the bottom captures 99.97% of airborne pollutants with its HEPA-13 medical-grade filter. You can also customize the look of your Bloom with two different top options and more than a dozen prefilter colors.
Dyson | Dyson Purifier Cool Formaldehyde TP09
Air out your nursery’s new paint, furniture, and mattress with the powerful Dyson Purifier Cool Formaldehyde TP09. A fully sealed HEPA H13 filtration system with a catalytic filter destroys dangerous gases and catches pollen, dust, bacteria, and mold. Interested in what this purifier removes from your air? Check the MyDyson app to see, set up schedules, and link with voice assistants.
FreAire | Air Purifiers
Keep your nursery fresh with the FreAire Air Purifier, offering an impressive CADR of 215 square feet in just 12 minutes. Its quiet noise levels (think whisper) and three ambient light settings ensure no one sacrifices sleep for clean air. When your baby gets a little bigger, you can start using the essential oil feature to add soothing smells to your days and nights.
FridaBaby | 3-in-1 Air Purifier
If versatility and a space-saving design are important to you, the 3-in-1 Air Purifier is a clear winner. This model is tiny enough to fit in your hand, so it works for the smallest of nurseries, and its built-in night light and sound machine mean you can free up more surface space for diapers, toys, or blankets.
GermGuardian | AC4150
The AC4150 not only uses a True HEPA filter to knock down dust, pollen, and smoke, it also uses a UV-C light to reduce airborne mold and nasty germs that can pass along to baby. While moms are relieved by the cleaner air in their baby’s nursery, little ones love the dazzling nighttime scenes this machine projects above their crib.
Levoit | Sprout Air Purifier
The compact Sprout Air Purifier easily fits on your nursery dresser as it tracks the room’s air quality, humidity, temperature, particulate matter, and more. You can take a hands-on approach by checking the VeSync app for these levels or use the purifier’s auto mode. Its integrated night light and sound machine also save you even more room.
Morento | HY4866-WF Smart Air Purifier
While you rock baby, control your new Morento air purifier using its Havaworks app, which allows you to set schedules, check the filter, and connect to voice assistants. A double air intake that passes through a multi-layer HEPA filter scrubs the air fast while an infrared sensor continuously monitors air quality. This is one of the most affordable options you’ll find for larger nurseries.
Pure Enrichment | PureBaby Bear Air Purifier
An adorable addition to any nursery, the PureBaby Bear Air Purifier comes in two colors and offers seven nightlight options, which come in handy for those 1 a.m. feeding sessions. Its four-stage filtration process includes an activated carbon pre-filter to cut down on smells and an optional UV-C light to help capture germs and mold. The child lock, sleep mode, and automatic timer make the PureBaby a great first purifier.
Rabbit Air | A3
Looking for an air purifier for a larger room? The A3 by Rabbit Air can cover up to 1,070 square feet using a six-stage filtration system (with filters that only need to be changed once a year!). You can mount the A3 to a wall to avoid any mishaps and add one of the available art pieces to the front to blend it into your nursery’s theme.
Smart Air | The Sqair Air Purifier
With its Scandinavian-style design, this cute little machine blends right into a minimalist nursery. The Sqair Air Purifier’s intuitive control dial lets you choose from three different speed settings, the lowest of which is barely louder than your baby’s breath, and there are no light-up features to disturb that all-important sleep. This no-fuss model cleans quickly, providing a small room with healthy air in just five minutes.
Smartmi | Air Purifier P1
The Air Purifier P1 from Smartmi scores well with tech-savvy moms. It seamlessly connects to three major smart home systems and allows you to manage it via the Smartmi app. You’ll also get real-time monitoring and feedback via its air quality sensor, alerting you if there is an increase in pollutants. The built-in leather handle makes it easy to move the purifier to the living room for daytime use.
VornadoBaby | Purio Nursery Air Purifier
Made specifically with little ones in mind, the Purio Nursery Air Purifier is finger-friendly with lockable controls so you don’t have to worry about your curious baby pressing buttons. It’s low-hassle, too, since the True HEPA filter lasts up to a year. The recessed lighting offers a soothing night glow and hidden cord storage is perfect when moving it place-to-place.
