The pollen count is high and I am dying. I’ve been taking Claritin, but when I wake up in the morning it feels like my face is full of concrete.
Does anyone have recommendations for a good, reasonably priced air purifier? I’m probably going to have to get 2. One for my bedroom and one for my living room.

I use this one and it’s pretty solid. [https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Core-200S-Disinfectant-Deodorizing-Purification/dp/B08FJ678YK/ref=psdc_4083011_t1_B09FDX1T82?th=1](https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Core-200S-Disinfectant-Deodorizing-Purification/dp/B08FJ678YK/ref=psdc_4083011_t1_B09FDX1T82?th=1)

Having a humidifier in winter and an air purifier in pollen season is such a game-changer for me.
Also, cheap [Fexofenadine/フェã‚ソフェナジン](https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E7%9A%87%E6%BC%A2%E5%A0%82%E8%A3%BD%E8%96%AC-%E3%80%90%E7%AC%AC2%E9%A1%9E%E5%8C%BB%E8%96%AC%E5%93%81%E3%80%91%E3%82%A2%E3%83%AC%E3%83%AB%E3%83%93-56%E9%8C%A0-%E2%80%BB%E3%82%BB%E3%83%AB%E3%83%95%E3%83%A1%E3%83%87%E3%82%A3%E3%82%B1%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A7%E3%83%B3%E7%A8%8E%E5%88%B6%E5%AF%BE%E8%B1%A1%E5%95%86%E5%93%81/dp/B01MR4F8K3/) recommended on this subreddit is a nice alternative to Claritin.
You might look into a mesh um… netting. I’m not sure how to phrase it.
“The best mesh to use is an 800 hole per sq inch no-see-um mesh that is used to block a very tiny biting fly commonly called a no-see-um. The cool part of this product is that you kind of get double-value since the mesh will block 80% of your pollen while also protecting you from irritating mosquitoes.”
I always recommend the Coway Airmega 150. True HEPA, moderately priced, readily available new along with replacement filters, and a well reviewed unit to boot.
We have one called “Blue Air” and apparently it works. I personally don’t have hayfever so I don’t care either but my girlfriend said it has done wonders. We have it on super low power mode all the time, it’s not completely silent but close enough.
She got it through her benefit station point thing but I think it’s about 20,000 for one. Very lightweight as well, which is what I like versus the Sharp ones (which seem to be much heavier).
We have two of them (but three rooms) so we keep one in the bedroom and one in whichever room we’re in at any given time.
Why not just go to the ENT and get some meds? I have severe Sugi hayfever and 2 pills a day from the doc makes it all go away.
Core 300 is best price performance.
Sharp Plasmacutter
Blue Air Pure 231
Coway Airmega Mighty
Both these can push A LOT of air through them although they are simple (and cheaper than many!).
I’m surprised nobody is recommending Daikin, they have good stuff.
