Anyone have a Dyson TP04 Air Purifier? Molekule Air?

We need a really good air purifier and want the best out there. These two seem to pop up a lot. Thoughts?

Why do you need one? Dust, allergens, pet dander, dust, V.O.C.s, etc.?

Pets, dander, allergens, general IAQ stuff living in a large city

Check out Levoit. The same or better performance of the Dyson at about half the cost. Ours also has both hepa and carbon. Less sexy than the Dyson, but we just don't see the value in their purifiers or fans/heaters. Sister-in-law has one and swears by it and she is a cheap ass, so that says something. We do have a vacuum though and love it, so I'm not totally against their stuff.

We ended up getting the Dyson on Tuesday and it's already a game changer for both of us with our allergies. Thanks for all the info to everyone on here!
