In a recent Popular Science review on the best air purifiers for smoke, IQAir’s Atem X air purifier was named the best investment on the market [1]. Praised for its elegance and efficiency, the reviewer called it “one of my favorites” due to its superior performance and modern design.

The review highlighted the Energy Star-rated Atem X’s HyperHEPA filter, which captures particles as small as 0.003 microns. This allows it to efficiently remove smoke, allergens, and other pollutants from rooms up to 1,650 square feet, significantly enhancing indoor air quality. 

Despite its powerful capabilities, Atem X operates quietly, with noise levels ranging from 26 to 55 dB. The air purifier’s slim, space-saving profile allows it to be placed flush against walls. It offers eight fan speeds along with a user-friendly app for remote control.

Popular Science also praised Atem X’s practical features, including a faux leather handle for easy portability and a mobile base for convenience on hard floors. Additionally, the 10-year warranty provides added value and peace of mind.

The takeaway

As the Popular Science review found, IQAir’s Atem X stands out for its combination of powerful air purification, quiet operation, and modern design, making it a top choice for those needing an effective solution for large spaces and smoke removal.
