Sneezing? Itchy eyes? Runny nose? Coughing? You know when your spring allergies start to flare up … which is right about now. And, while medicines can provide some relief for your symptoms, taking aim at your surrounding environment will give you a more satisfying fix. We’re talking about an air purifier, one that eliminates airborne allergens in your home, including pollen, dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, smoke, bacteria and even viruses. Specifically, you want one with a true High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter. Even more specifically: You want the Afloia Kilo Air Purifier, which is now 40% off on Amazon.

💰 Why is this a good deal?

The Afloia Kilo Air Purifier is currently 31% off, but Amazon is now offering an additional coupon (just check the box!) for an additional $10 off. This brings the price down to $59.99, saving you $40. Our research tells us that this is the lowest price it’s ever been!

🤔 Why do I need this?

Air purifiers are essentially fans with a filter. They suck in air, separate and trap allergens, then exhale it out into your living space. They do this over and over again till the air you’re breathing is clean and irritant-free. The Kilo has a three-stage filtration system. The first traps pet fur, dust and lint; the second is the aforeentioned HEPA filter, which zeroes in on bacteria, mold, pet dander and pollen; and the last-stage carbon filter traps smoke, fumes, VOCs, pet odors and cooking smells.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, HEPA air filters can remove at least 99.97% of dust, pollen, mold, bacteria and most other airborne particles. The Kilo’s filter can trap particles as small as 0.03 microns, which is considered very good.

This little workhorse can sanitize a space up to 1,076 square feet in the space of an hour. If you live in an apartment, that’s about the right size to clean the whole thing, but if you live in a bigger house, you may need to get multiples. Otherwise, you can place it in a bedroom while you sleep or in another high-traffic room to clean that air specifically. FYI: The air filter should be replaced every 4-6 months (you can buy those at Amazon, too … and they’re also on sale!).

The Kilo offers 2-, 6- and 8-hour timer functions, and a sleep mode that’s fairly quiet — even on high, it sounds about as distracting as a white noise fan. And, just for fun, it features seven light-color options, and when you put it in sleep mode that light automatically dims so it won’t disturb your rest.

💬 What reviewers say

More than 3,800 Amazon shoppers have given the Afloia Kilo Air Purifier a 5-star rating. That’s a lot of unsneezed sneezes and dry eyes!

👍 Pros

“I leave it running on full blast all day every day,” wrote one of them. “You can tell the difference in the air before and after using the product! I have two cats that are decent size, so that’s what I keep it running all day and it works great!”

“I loved that this air purifier was very easy to set up and turn on,” reported this pet owner. “It’s fairly quiet on medium, almost silent when on sleep mode. … There were no more musty smells or dog smells (I have two dogs). I bought two: one for my living room and kitchen, and one for the bedrooms. I’m very pleased with these.”

Other customers commented on how it’s helped with their allergies, seasonal or not.

“My asthma/allergist … recommended me to purchase an air purifier for my bedroom to try at night, because I wake up wheezing and coughing,” one former sufferer explained. “Well lo and behold, I start the air purifier about 2–3 hours before sleep time, and within two nights I was no longer wheezing or waking up coughing and wheezing.”

“So far, I have two of these and they work wonders,” shared this repeat customer. “We have three dogs and two cats, which are inside/outside pets. This purifier catches everything that my sweeping and dusting stirs up. Two of my family members have bad seasonal allergies, and these have helped a great deal. When bad smells pop up in the house, I move the purifier to that area and the smell gets eliminated naturally rather than spraying all kinds of chemicals into the air.”

👎 Cons

“This thing is almost perfect,” said one shopper, who stipulated, “It just doesn’t let you know when the air is clean, so you don’t know when to turn it down. And it doesn’t have auto mode. That’s very crucial. Especially at night. If the air isn’t good I want it to automatically make it better.”

“It doesn’t show you the quality of air through the light-color-changing system,” nattered this nitpicker. “The colors are just for ‘fun’ or to pick the color you want, but its not like others that (green) is for clean and (red) for bad quality of air. So it’s kinda hard to know how many hours should I put it on versus other brands.”
