Score: 72/100
Lab Charge Plug-In Air Purifier
Score: 66/100Rankings
The Envion Ionic Pro CA200 is a filter-less tower ionizer that silently cleans rooms up to 200 sq ft with 99.9 % removal efficiency and CARB-tested technology. Its drawbacks include an older ion-based design, occasional crackling noises, and a bulky, heavy form factor. It fits best in small bedrooms or offices where low maintenance is a priority.
The LabCharge Small Ionic Air Purifier is a USB-powered, filter-free unit that quietly covers up to 250 sq ft and includes a low-glow night light. Its reliance on a constant USB power source and modest ozone generation limit its flexibility for larger areas.
