Score up to 46% off air purifiers with these October Prime Day deals

An air purifier adds an extra layer of protection to your indoor space, giving a better safeguard when it comes to dust, allergens, and viruses. If you're hoping to grab one this fall, check out these deals Amazon is offering ahead of October Prime Day.

Getting some fresh air can make a world of difference, but not all air is worthy of inhaling. Some of it contains irritating allergens, dust, or even viruses that can mean you might spend the next week on the couch sniffling. Using an air purifier in your home can help cut down on some of those nasty microscopic elements you'd rather not inhale.

While Amazon's Prime Day Big Deal event doesn't kick off until next week, we're already seeing great discounts on air purifiers from top brands that use HEPA filtration like Coway, Shark, and Blueair. Here are some of the best air purifier deals to shop the week of Oct. 1.

Best overall deal

Why we like it

Filtering an impressive 3,048 square feet, the Blueair Blue Pure 211i Max can be ideal if you're hoping for fresh air in your living room, dining room, and kitchen. With HEPA filtration, the Blue Air removes 99.97% of potentially irritating air particles like dust, pet dander, pollen, and viruses. The large square footage of the Blueair 211i Max could make it ideal for families looking to cut down on winter colds and flus.

While the Blueair Blue Pure 211i Max usually costs $349.99, Amazon has it discounted for Prime members to just $189.99. If you're not already a Prime member, today is a good day to consider the $14.99 per month membership since we expect to see more Prime-exclusive deals during the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days even that starts on Oct. 8.

Best air purifier with a modern design

Why we like it

If you're looking for an air purifier that doesn't interfere with the overall decor of your room, the Coway Airmega AP-1512HH Mighty could be the best option. Its overall design goes for a more minimalist look, but it doesn't skimp on functionality. In a 361 square foot room, the Coway Mighty changes the air four times, thanks to its three-stage filtration system. LED lights indicate how clean or dirty the air is, so you'll always have a sense of your indoor air quality.

Thanks to Amazon's early October Prime Day sale price, you can get cleaner indoor air for just $155.07, instead of the list price at Coway of $239.99.

Best air purifier for pet owners

Allergic to pets but still own them? Or maybe your partner is sensitive to cat hair but still comes over daily? In any case, pet owners have a great deal today at Amazon on the Shark HP102PET air purifier which is on sale for $129.99, which is a 34% discount off the normal price of $198.
