Useful for small spaces
Not sure I see a difference but it alerts you on air quality so that’s helpful. I’m sure in the car it will be less dusty and more fresh air.

On desk next to computer
When there's things in the air I use it next to the computer. Quiet and I think it helps

Good for small areas, but not sure about cars.
This air purifier is mainly marketed as an air purifier for the car, but I’m not convinced this is it’s best use. Why? Well this is what it states un the instruction manual:‘In order to improve air purification, close the windows when using the product. If the air conditioner is on, select a low air volume level.’Modern cars have cabin air filters to clean the air being cycled through the cabin. Yet it is recommended to set your car’s A-C to a low setting when using this air purifier. Depending where you live, will depend what temperature you want your cabin air set to, and having it set to a low air volume level is not helpful in achieving that goal quickly, so this device doesn’t work well in harmony with your car AC. I honestly don’t know if this is providing any benefit to me in my car or not.I think this device is better suited as a portable unit you can take with you and plug in at your work desk, go camping with, or wherever you may be in smaller rooms. Just make sure you have a power source to connect it to.Unless you set yourself a reminder, when you first use this unit, you’re unlikely to remember when to change the filter. They recommend you replace it every 3-6 months depending upon how frequently you use it, but there is no alert feature to let you know you need to replace the filter. This will likely be different for each user depending upon environment and amount of time time it’s used for. How are you supposed to monitor that?A couple of features I would like to see added:1) Rechargeable battery to make it fully functional on a portable basis.2) A filter replacement alert filter to let you know when it’s time to replace the filter.

You can never have too much clean air everywhere! Small and PERFECT for car drivers.
I have to say that this personal HEPA filter would be best served for UBER drivers who cannot control who is and is not in their car simply because of its size and the fact that it fits easily in the drink holder. I have traveled plenty of times with VERY sick persons in the seats surrounding me in poorly ventilated and unfiltered spaces and yet have not become ill by using a mini HEPA as pictured. As a scientist researching the current pandemic, I’m well aware of preventive measures that are necessary to remain safe.I LOVE that there is an AQI reading on this particular product. How does the AQI work? Think of the AQI as a yardstick that runs from 0 to 500. The higher the AQI value, the greater the level of air pollution and the greater the health concern. For example, an AQI value of 50 or below represents good air quality, while an AQI value over 300 represents hazardous air quality. As I am running this mini-HEPA in my personal room at my home (which is equipped with a larger HEPA filter from Levoit) the AQI is reading EXCELLENT (which I already know it is by my CO2 monitor) - it's under 20.I find the UV aspect to be questionable simply because true UV disinfection requires a great deal of regulation. It isn't easily accessed in the US nor would any type of UV light this machine provides be significant.PRO: This brand comes with an extra filter for replacement at 3-6 months.If I am seated indoors for whatever reason, I set up my personal HEPA filter at my seat, and minimize infection. On a plane or bus ride during travel, I simply place it on a chain, a lanyard, or my travel pillow such that my personal airspace is cleared. Indoors alongside ventilated and filtrated spaces to eat, such as a cafeteria or dining hall? Great to lay beside your plate.Perfect for students who are seated in massive lecture halls at their desks, in addition to working in a professional setting. Can easily lay this down next to a sleeping baby’s crib or pointed into a stroller. Add this with masks and a larger HEPA filter to care for your room space and you are helping create a clean airspace!To be safest, I use these with high level masks and have not been sick with respiratory illness since early 2020. The best defense is a great offense!
