The AROEVE H13 provided excellent air purification in our tests and at half the price of our top pick, it’s a great value. This air purifier is sleek and modern–looking, with a rectangular shape that’s about the same height as a wine bottle.
It has three speed settings (low, medium, and high) and a sleep mode that reduces fan speed even further. When we tested this model, we found that it reduced cigarette smoke by 90 percent after 30 minutes. It also cut down on dust and pollen in our tests.
The H13 is also versatile: It can run continuously or be set to 180–minute cycles. In other words, you can either set it to run for four hours straight or have it on for six hours total over three hours with two hours off. The purifier also has an auto–off feature that shuts it off when its filter needs to be replaced.
The only major drawback to this air purifier is its lack of a remote control, but most of the air purifiers we tested lacked remotes. Instead, you must use the controls on the unit itself or choose from one of three wallpapers included with the purifier that will show you what speed setting corresponds with a specific number in the main display window. This can make it hard to adjust settings if you’re not within arm’s reach of the unit.
