10 Things Everyone Should Own That Cost Less Than $100

A HEPA air purifier

You might not realize that a HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) purifier can cost under $100 — or that you need one.

They’re priced as low as $70. If you find yourself having an inexplicably stuffy nose, scratchy eyes or regular headaches at home or the office, there’s a good chance the air quality is to blame.

HEPA purifiers can clear the air of dust mites, allergens, chemicals from cleaning products, and pet odors and other unpleasant smells — to help you breathe easier.

A HEPA purifier can seriously improve your quality of life at home, especially if you or your kids have asthma or other respiratory sensitivities. You’ll also be likely to notice far less dust settling on your electronics and shelves.
