Top 10: Best Portable Air Purifier. This category includes purifiers that travel well and work best for travel lodging, work locations, and temporary housing. The Top 10 is ranked by rating score; however, you may also want to take in to account the space size you will be cleaning and your travel pack space. If you only stay in one room hotels or work around in different one room offices, the small sized Ecobox or Fresh Air To Go may be sufficient, but if you rent condos for vacation or move from larger space to larger space, The Fresh Air is portable enough and powerful enough to make a difference in your air. The other models presented are also viable options.
1st Place: Ecoquest Fresh Air – Excellent Rating
MSRP £747. Measuring about 12″ high x 9″ wide x 12″ deep and weighing less than 16 lbs, the Ecoquest Fresh Air stands out as a unique air purifier.

7th Place: Air Oasis Mini UV – Very Good Rating
MSRP £299.99. I like the rugged, simple design of this purifier. Measuring 3″ wide x 3″ deep x 12″ high and weighing 4 lbs, the quality in this brand is evident and the materials are good (very little plastic) for traveling. It has decent cleaning ability for smells, gases, VOCs, and basic microorganisms. Not as effective on particle removal. Low maintenance and low maintenance costs are also pluses. I would consider this purifier for small spaces that are not too dusty or where the focus is on smells, gases, VOCs, and basic microorganisms. The company offers a mold test and has good claims for airborne mold reduction. Portable air purifier. Read full review for more details.
8th Place: Amaircare Roomaid – Fair Rating
MSRP £149. This is a good, small, portable filter purifier. Simple to use, good basic looks. Solid engineering and quality materials used throughout. I like the powder-coated metal housing. Maintenance is minimal and because of the good filter design, filter life is long. Filter replacement costs are reasonable. This model has an additional engineering feature with the Perfect Seal HEPA. This feature allows for better filtration as all air must pass through the HEPA filter and not around it like many other brands. This is a good purifier for a very small room.
