Before getting an air purifier, I was obsessed with essential oils.
I used essential oils so much that I had a go-to blend: lavender, frankincense, and jasmine.
And when I got my air purifier, I immediately thought I could place a couple of drops on the device and have it diffuse the essential oils.
I was lucky that I did a quick Google search before doing this, as I quickly learned that I shouldn’t do this.
You do not want to put essential oils in your air purifier.

Read moreWhen it comes to improving the quality of air inside your home, there are many different types of appliances that you can pick from.
Some heaters can keep your home warm, humidifiers that can add humidity to your indoors, and air purifiers responsible for freeing the air from irritants and allergens.
The issue with those is that they are all designed to do one job.
And while there’s nothing wrong with that, it would be nice if there was an all-in-one unit that could do all three.

When I first tried to buy an air purifier, I had a choice: get a portable one or an in-duct system.
At first, I was inclined to get a portable option.
While these wouldn’t be able to clean all the air in my house, they can purify the air one room at a time, which I felt was good enough for my needs.
On top of that, these portable options are generally more affordable than in-duct air purifiers.
But after some research, I started to see why in-duct air purifiers were generally more expensive than portable air purifiers.

As much as I understood the benefits of owning and using an air purifier, I wasn’t too keen on placing mine in the middle of the room.
This is because I pay a lot of attention to the layout and design of my interior spaces.

I got an air purifier because I have severe allergies triggered by dust, pollen, and similar pollutants.
So, when I turned it on and noticed that I was sneezing uncontrollably, I thought I had a faulty air purifier.
This was when I went to the internet to research what was wrong.

I never needed an AC unit before, but I figured there was no better time than now to invest in one.
But while I was looking at my options, I stumbled across a pretty nifty device: an AC/Air Purifier combo.
