Best air purifier?

Wondering if anyone has a good activated-carbon air purifier you are using in your RV? I am finding my nose and eyes are a bit sensitive to that "new smell" (aka formaldehyde, VOC's, etc.) in my 2017 Fiver.
I plan to keep the air fresh as possible with cracked windows and vents and to pick up some air-cleaning ivy, but it may not be enough in these cold winter months. Any recommendations on a good air purifier are welcome. Thanks ahead...:)
  • While you are waiting for posts try the Allergy Buyers Club online.
  • BOTH these replies were helpful; really just what I needed. After checking out the Allergy Buyers Club and the Winix C555 at Costco (on sale!) it looks like it is a good choice.
    AL, where do you keep yours?
  • Activated carbon isn't cheap.... I'd look for one with reasonably priced replacements. I used to maintain large commercial purifiers that had refillable activated carbon cells and I bought the material in bulk. Craig
  • Thanks Craig. I am looking at the Winix HR 951. Replacement filters are $69 and they say should be replaced annually. Here is the link - if you have any thoughts on this particular purifier I would love to hear. Thanks! https://winixamerica.com/product/hr951/
