Got allergies? Shoppers say this air purifier — on sale for $59 — helps instantly

Whether you suffer from allergies or you just want to breathe the freshest air possible, getting an air purifier is always a smart idea. That's especially the case during the long, colder months we'll be spending indoors. The quality of the air inside our homes becomes more polluted as we crank up the heat and humidifiers and seal ourselves up with pets (hello, dander) and all kinds of allergens. And if you're going to get an air purifier, why not get a smart and stylish one? The Proscenic A8 SE air purifier fits that description, and it's perfect for larger rooms. Plus, it's on sale right now for just $59, which is 40% off its usual $99! We'll bet you're breathing easier already!

The Proscenic A8 SE has a very high CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) of 200 m3/h, which basically means it can circulate up to 25 square meters of purified air five times an hour. And don't worry about it making too much noise, either — it comes with three different fan speeds, so you can have it humming quietly if you want. Its digital touch display gives easy access to the device's basic functions, such as switching it on and off, but also setting up the child lock or a timer. It'll even give you a reminder to change the filter when the time is right.

Best of all, the purifier is smart! It supports both iOS and Android devices, and you can create your own air-cleaning schedules remotely using the app. Plus it works with Alexa and Google Assistant so you can tell it turn on or off simply by using your voice.

One five-star reviewer said it improved the air quality overnight: "It took me a few minutes to figure out how to sync the device with my phone through the Wi-Fi just following the prompts in the app and waiting for the connection to complete. Once setup was complete, I was excited to see the different settings/modes available in the app, especially the child lock to prevent my toddler from changing the settings/fan speed on the air purifier itself! I let it run overnight, and when I woke up in the morning I could FEEL the difference in my sinuses, and the air felt lighter to breathe in. Great product, my lungs thank you!"

"This air purifier works very well, and in a short time you can see that the air has changed," said another happy reviewer. "Especially when exercising, it can accelerate air circulation and answer the role of purification. It can also be controlled with a mobile phone to purify the air regularly every day. It has three modes, and the night mode is the quietest, so you won't notice it if you're asleep."
