9 Autowit Car Air Purifier

8 Nova 2 in 1 Car Air Purifier
This purifier is almost as efficient as the Philips one and a great budget buy. It uses ionic technologies to eliminate all kinds of pollutants and odor. It reduces smoke and tobacco smell effectively, which is really rare to find. It comes with additional USB ports and is an extremely low maintenance gadget. The con is it sticks out too much and you might want to rethink if you have kids. Also, it is not very effective on allergens or dust and emits very low amounts of ozone to work, which may not be very safe, but not significantly harmful either. Overall, it's a great low budget accessory. It retails for $20.
7 Frieq Car Air Purifier
Frieq AP-C purifier is very light weight and sleek in design. It is the smallest out of all the similar top selling products available in the market. If you have kids, it is the best purchase as it would be hardly noticeable from above and yet works equally as efficient as the other larger products. It removes unpleasant odors, bacteria, pollen, dust and pollutants by completely destroying them instead of covering them up. There are no moving parts and turning it on only takes plugging it into the cigarette lighter outlet. The con is it takes some time to work through and shows results after a couple of days. It retails for $18.

The design is pretty easy on the eyes and it has a blue LED indicator. While we would not like to comment much on it's purifying capabilities, it definitely removes odor and makes the interior smell fresh instantly and ionizes the air as well. It retails for $12.
2 Thinkga Car Air Purifier
Thinkga Air Purifier is a two-in-one combination product and comes with an air ionizer along with the purifier.

It is a travel size purifier and can be used in a car as well as a small room. It does not have a HEPA filter though so might have some hard time at trapping dust and small particles, which is highly required for people with allergies. The con is that it is too small and not very effective if you use in a hotel room. For a car, it's good. It retails for almost $30.
