A Phone-Sized Plug-In Is Clearing Dust From Thousands of Bedrooms

For decades a few big appliance brands have sold the same bulky air purifier, with the same expensive filters, at the same high price.

Meanwhile the dust on the nightstand comes back two days after you wipe it, and spring pollen gets in every time a window opens.

A small team in [California] decided the fix didn't need a fan, a filter or a $300 box in the corner. They built Airlo: a plug-in about the size of a phone that releases negative ions into the room.

It has sold out [3] times since launch, and it's now one of the most-ordered home devices on [the brand's store] this year.

It fits in your pocket and never needs a new filter

The company worked with engineers from the ionization industry to shrink the technology that usually sits inside large purifiers into a single plug.

It draws about as much power as a night light (people ask), and there's no fan, no motor and no filter to replace, ever.

That last part is where the savings come from. A standard purifier filter costs [$40 to $90] and wants changing every few months, so the box you bought for $200 keeps billing you for as long as you own it.

Negative ions pull the dust out of the air you breathe

Once it's plugged in, a small generator inside starts releasing negative ions into the room.

Those ions cling to the dust, pollen, pet dander and smoke particles floating at face height. The particles get heavier, drop out of the air and land on the floor, where the vacuum picks them up instead of your lungs.

Setup takes under a minute: plug it in and wait for the blue light. It's [one fifth] the size of a regular purifier and runs silently all night.

Eight reasons owners buy a second one within a month

  • Plug and go: any standard outlet, no app, no setup.
  • Ion technology: targets airborne dust, dander, pollen and smoke.
  • Starts right away: it works from the moment the light turns on.
  • Bundle pricing: the more rooms you cover, the less each unit costs.
  • Safe around kids and pets when used as directed.
  • No filters: nothing to buy again, nothing to clean.
  • Portable: small enough to take to the office or a hotel room.
  • Silent: no fan noise while you work or sleep.

Dust doesn't stay in one room, so most buyers order several and put one Airlo in every room: the bedroom, the living room, the kitchen and the home office.

Questions readers sent in

Do I have to install anything?

No. Plug it in and it's releasing ions within [60] seconds.

Will I be buying filters in six months?

Never. There is no filter in it.

Can I leave it on overnight?

Yes, that's how most owners use it. It makes no sound and the light is dim enough to sleep next to.

Selling direct cuts the price by more than half

Big appliance brands sell through retailers, and every middleman adds a margin before the box reaches the shelf.

Airlo only sells online, straight to the buyer. That's why it can run web-only promotions and multi-unit discounts: today one unit is $44.97, and in the best-selling bundle each one works out to $36.97.

Our verdict: worth it, if you can still get one

For the price of one replacement filter you can cover two or three rooms, with nothing to maintain afterwards.

The catch is stock. It has sold out [3] times, and the current discount only runs while this batch lasts.

Less dust on the dresser

I wipe my dresser every Sunday and by Tuesday there used to be a film on it. I put one in the bedroom and it's been noticeably cleaner. Still dusting, just less often.

Quiet enough for the nursery

I was skeptical because it has no fan and I couldn't tell it was doing anything. After two weeks the room smelled less stuffy, so I ordered two more.

Good with two cats

Bought the 3-pack for the rooms where the cats sleep. I'd like a stronger light so I can see it's on, but there is less hair floating around in the sunlight.

Took a week to notice

Honestly I expected nothing for this price. The first week I didn't see a change. By week two the allergy season mornings were easier in the bedroom.
