I've been using this for alittle over a month and this is my assessment. Pros: I love how the light changes based on the air quality. Green for good yellow/orange for moderate and red for poor. I've tested this by placing it on a dusty shelf and then using a can of compressed air to clean the shelf, the light immediately turned red once I kicked up all the dust. I like how its portable and can use this anywhere from your bedroom to your car to even work. The air filters are reasonably priced at about $10 from LG website and $15 on Amazon. Although LG website is always sold out I was able to purchase a couple of new filters once they were back in stock but they quickly sold out abson within a couple days. Best Buy does not sell replacement filters. The filter is already full of dust after one month of use. There is also an app that you can use with it, its not necessary but it does keep track of the air quality and you can even change the fan speed through the app and even turn it off or on. The Puricare air filter has 4 fan speeds Auto, Low, High and Turbo. The low setting really dosent move alot of air but it does save the battery. Turbo works best but it only stays on turbo for 30 minutes then automatically switches back to its previous fan speed. High/Turbo fan speeds drain the battery pretty quickly, maybe around 2 hours worth of battery if left on high. The battery will last about 6-8 hours on low. The good news is you can plug it in using USB type C plug and keep it running all day no matter the fan speed. It has a nice leather strap for easy transportation. It retails for $200 wich is alittle high in my opinion but I got it on sale for $150. I have read other reviews that said they got it on sale for $100 which I think is a fair price. The indicator light is very bright so thats something to consider if you're planning on using it in the bedroom at night. All in all I am happy with the purchase and recommend this for anyone looking for a portable light air purifier.

It works! I like how the light changes depending on air quality. Wish Bestbuy sold the filters though, Lg has them on their site for $9.99 each with free shipping but they are sold out. Amazon has it for $13.19 each. Anyway, I like how you can also check the Air Quality via Bluetooth through your phone or tablet.

Bought this to take with me while driving around, and for summer fire season. Was on a deal of the day around the start of Jan, so I figured I'd try it out.
Pros - It seems to be built well, the strap is nice, Auto mode changes the fan speed pretty quickly if it detects anything in the air. Pretty quiet, even in a bedroom. Fit into my Suburban's front cupholders pretty well.
Cons - Maybe it'll work better in warmer climates or in an office, but it's been between -20F and 30F the last month, and I can only get maybe a little over an hour of operation at a time even on the lowest settings. Took me around 24 hours to charge it back to full afterwards, and that was using a decently powered Anker usb charger, so with that I can only use it every 2-3 days. LED lights are too bright for a bedroom if you're trying to sleep.
I **really** wanted to like this, but since there's only 3 months of warm temps where I live, the battery life and charging time isn't going to work for me. Have to return it.

I love this, using it for my laundry room and bathrooms when I travel and stay in older homes. Seems to work well! I keep it plugged in. Yes you need your own cord/adaptor but most of us have those these days for our phones. I'm not sure how efficient it is, but so far it seems to be helping with my mold reaction in musty rooms I have to go in. It has a buzz, not loud, but also quiet enough for me to use next to the bed at night. Its a little pricey but hopefully that means its efficient!

Bought this to have cleaner air in my car on long drives or when I do car camping trips inside my suv overnight and it definitely works and does the job! Price was a bit high, but caught a sale for around $100, so bit thr bullet. Good battery life, runs roughly the whole 8 hours when in low mode. If the fan ramps up in speed, it might drop the battery life down to 3-4 hrs though, so depends on air quality. Love the light color air sensor, and it really works! Only wish they had the cupholder mount still available, as the square shape is really awkward for placement in the car.
One thing to note as well, the filters are extremely hard to find. They've been out of stock for months. I was able to catch a few online when they become available but really had to stay on top of it , so keep that in mind when purchasing. Hopefully the filters are more readily available from LG in the future

I like the ease of use, portability, and style. I can stay healthy and keep my allergies at bay. The 8 hour battery life is pretty solid, it’ll get you through the day, since it uses USB-C it’s quite easy for me to charge up when out and about by using a portable battery it takes little time to give it enough extra juice to get you through what you need. From the bedroom, dorm room or workspace to the car, train, plane or hotel room, the compact portable purifier can remove 99% ultra-fine dust and reduces allergens and irritants that can be harmful to breathe.

Nice compact air purifier to carry around, the only problem I got is the difficulty getting the filter, there're times when it's out everywhere (even Amazon) and had to buy an expensive one from ebay.

This little thing packs a punch, happy to have it in my allergy fighting arsenal. Bought for work trips originally; for the car rides and hotel/Airbnb rooms. Would highly recommend for anyone who enjoys that crisp purified air but in your car. The blue tooth connection and air monitor is fun to play with as well.

I like it. I used in car and airplane. Air quality light changed accordingly. I assume it does it job; when I spray something the air quality light changes for instance. Haven't used the app. I got it for $99 as apart of the deal of the day, and I'm waiting for another deal of the day to buy another one!

I had high hopes buying this air purifier. When I finally got to use it I was slightly disappointed. I read many reviews that the battery last long but mines didn’t and it was at the lowest setting. Don’t know if my air purifier is defective.

The coolest thing is that you can measure air quality using your cellphone. The purifier can last a pretty long time with one charge. The USB-C charging port is also very convenient.

After using many purifier’s at home in the past few years, I decided to buy two of these for my wife and I for work as we both have offices with not so great to no ventilation and with people in and out throughout the day and so far these purifiers have proven extremely effective. I’ve left it on and had people enter my office that were heavily perfumed and the unit would go from Green to RED indicating bad air quality. Every time it went into overdrive and did it’s job. I love that you can monitor and control the unit via the Bluetooth app and control it as well.
I got lucky and got them as the deal of the day and saved about $100 on the 2 so, thanks again BestBuy!
