The Best All-in-One Humidifier, Purifier, and Fan Under $1,000

We all think a lot more about what we might be breathing when we’re out in the world lately, but respiratory risks in the perceived safety of one’s own home often go unrecognized. New construction or even new furniture can emit the carcinogen formaldehyde, in a process known as off-gassing. The Dyson Purifier Humidify+Cool Formaldehyde is designed to remove those insidious particles, as well as pet dander and the usual pollutants and odors, all while humidifying and circulating the air in your home. About half of its 3-foot height is taken up by an open oval fan, which Dyson calls an “air multiplier.” The body comes in nickel ($940, pictured) and white finishes that will look as fresh as your home will smell.
