I've been really impressed with my Hunter Air Purifier.  I originally bought the unit to remove bad odors drifting into my apartment, like stale cigarette smoke, smelly cooking scents, and paint fumes when they re-paint an apartment. It has done a great job at removing those smells, and also provides clean, cool air on a regular basis.

I have the Hunter Quiet Flo Air Purifier Model 30090, which is designed for rooms up to rooms of 140 square feet. It does not take up a lot of space since it measures just 14'' X 14'' X 6''.  The unit is always quiet too - you could probably sleep with it running even if you are a light sleeper.

There are only a few features on this unit, such as a 3-speed fan and a dial that will remind you of when to change the filter.  There are two separate filters: a HEPA filter which removes 99.97% of air particles, and a carbon filter that removes scents. The carbon filter needs to be replaced every few months, while the HEPA is good for up to a year.

I highly recommend this Hunter Air Purifier if you need fresh air for health reasons, want to remove bad aromas, or just want fresh, clean air to breathe every day.  It seems to be well constructed, is easy to operate, and has a 5-year limited warranty.

You may be surprised how nice it is to have an air purifier. The air feels cooler and fresher and any bad odors hanging around get zapped :)

I don't own an air purifier but this sounds like a really good one if you are in need of one.

Thanks for the tip on cleaning the filters. I'll have to try it.

I couldn't live (almost literally) without air filters, but have never seen this brand. Since you are "cost conscious" I'll confess to you that we vacuum our charcoal filters (small hand vacuum) with
excellent results. Don't know how that might impact your odor control, but I'm pretty darn sure it won't hurt your machine. Thanks for the info!
