Question from Bonnie
Just saw an ad for a new purifier called the Bissell Lifestyle Air 320. Wondering if you have heard of it or if anyone here has tried it. Thanks.

I don’t have personal experience with it. After a quick look, it appears to be a much lower-cost option than the most powerful purifiers but it does have activated carbon to clean gases and VOCs.
It does not have a HEPA filter so it will not clean particles from the air as effectively as a unit with HEPA. Also, it does not say how much activated carbon it has. The area of carbon determines how effective it is.
Generally, it looks to be less effective at cleaning particles and gases/VOCs than more powerful, more expensive models. As a low cost option, it looks to be better than other similarly priced products.
