This Air Purifier for Large Rooms Is 75% Off, Amazon Clears Stock and Adds an Extra Coupon

You need an air purifier in large cities where pollution and allergens can affect your health. The best thing about air purifiers nowadays is that they do not take up much space and are silent, yet they make a huge difference in the air quality and health of your home. This particular model is especially effective because it covers a large area (up to 1400 square feet) which is something that cheaper models under $100 usually cannot handle. This air purifier for large rooms is currently being offered on Amazon at an all-time low price of $89, and there is a 15% coupon that brings the price down even more to just $76. It's not every day you can pick up such a high-performance device for a quarter of its regular $299 price. See at Amazon The air purifier has a smart WiFi air quality sensor that uses an onboard PM2.5 sensor to provide real-time air quality feedback. Instead of guessing how clean your air is, you can see the exact level through a color-coded display that changes from green to red depending on pollution levels. With the declining air quality, the purifier automatically speeds up its fan to further purify the air. The filtration system of the air purifier is designed to be highly effective: It uses a 3-stage advanced filter that captures a wide range of airborne particles such as dust, smoke, pollen, pet dander, and unpleasant odors. This thorough filtration process refreshes the air in spaces as large as 1400 square feet every 30 minutes which makes it ideal for bedrooms and living rooms where clean air is a priority. You will also love the user-friendly control panel with three manual fan speeds and an auto mode that adjusts according to the fluctuating air quality. The air purifier also has a child lock feature to avoid accidental resetting which is convenient in households with children or pets. These design considerations provide ease of tailoring your air purification to your needs while prioritizing safety and peace of mind. With the current coupon and clearance from Amazon, this is one of the best times to spend money on a good air purifier. See at Amazon

For something with a dual function, try the Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight security camera. It has a motion-activated floodlight that can reach up to 3,000 lumens, which is great for when you get home late at night. But it will also ensure anyone in your driveway is illuminated and recorded just in case they're up to something nefarious. The camera itself has 2K resolution, color night vision and two-way audio. It's also one of our favorite options for security cameras with floodlights for 2025 and won our Editors' Choice award. Regularly priced at $250, you can get yours for just $120 at Woot. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. For indoor coverage, grab yourself a 2-pack of 2nd-gen Arlo Essential security cameras for $67.

If you've been considering getting a home security camera (or several), now is the time.
