Strap in! The holidays are approaching at lightning speed, and if you’re not already in preparation mode, you should be. Between decorating your home, shopping for gifts and hosting holiday gatherings, your to-do list is full. Can we add one more thing to it?

We wouldn’t, but this is one task you may not consider and yet really should: Buy an air purifier. Why? So many reasons, from mold on your Christmas tree, to group germ conventions, to really stinky foods. We love a snow-dusted holiday that’s as dreamy as French hens and a partridge in a pear tree, but the reality is holiday airs can be pretty gross.

Back to mold: Did you know that your Christmas tree and other greenery including fresh garland and poinsettias, could be a potential source of mold allergens? Don’t panic.

Reviewed’s chief scientist Dave Ellerby says, “Christmas trees have molds on them, but the source of the molds isn't clear, whether it came in with the tree or is already in the house. Also, just because there's detectable mold on a tree doesn't mean it will grow and produce spores; this depends on the tree’s moisture content and the temperature and humidity in the home.”

To catch any potential mold spores, the Blueair DustMagnet uses a HEPASilent filter and an electrostatic filter to clump particles together, rendering them easier to trap. During testing, this air purifier was able to remove particulates at an incredibly rapid rate—57% faster than the average air purifier on the market.

Over the holiday season, people also spend more time indoors in groups, so transmitting airborne illnesses like colds, flu, and COVID is more likely. If the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that fresh air can help. The DustMagnet excels at filtering out germs and can remove up to 99.99% of airborne viruses from the air. Plus, it’s incredibly quiet in doing so—like whisper-quiet—so it won’t drown out caroling or interrupt conversation at family parties.

Lastly, you know that holiday roast in your oven smells delicious as it’s cooking, but do you really want to smell it on your wool coat for weeks to come? Ellerby notes that cooking generates VOCs, so indoor preparation for large family meals with food items like bacon, Brussels sprouts, and fish could be a problem for you. While the Blueair DustMagnet isn’t as strong at clearing VOCs as it is particulates, it still does a good job and will keep your party smelling as fresh as can be.
