THE FUSE

One of the best ways to improve your indoor air quality is to get an air purifier, as they can remove fine particles, like dust and dander, and filter the air in the room they are placed in. As someone who’s tested dozens of air purifiers, and has one in almost every room of her house, I’ve noticed that most purifiers have one thing in common: They can get quite noisy, especially when their fan or motor is working hard to clear the air. Most of the time that’s not an issue, but if you’re looking for something that’s whisper-quiet — say, for a bedroom or baby’s room — it can feel like there are limited options.
