    Some need it by the smell of them when you walk by and they have a window down in a truck stop , I have 1 driver who uses a small 1 as he sometimes cooks in his truck does a good job no food odours in it

    I had a truck when I worked at Werner that smelled vaguely like an aged cheese ashtray. I got a Honeywell air purifier and the smell started to fade. They certainly work

    What is the definition of 'pure air'?

    Sounds like a product that claims to do something that is impossible.

    I ran one in mine for awhile. It seems to help when you have windows closed all the time in winter. But I came to the conclusion that freshening the air is just as easy to accomplish with quick wipedown with citrus cleaner and opening windows for a bit.

    There's something to be said about clean air, especially in a truck.
    I've been exploring this and I think it's a great idea but I don't think a lot of the purifiers are all that good.
    I'm interested in the air purifier that Dyson has innovated and they're sold at Costco and online.
    Its a totally different technology and they've designed one that would fit into a truck. It's blade less and has a 360deg high tech glass filter and claims to get rid of 99% of all airborne particles odors and fumes.
    you get what you pay for. Theyre not cheap.
    Im definitely interested in buying one. Doesn't use much power so I can run it via my inverter.
    If I buy one, I'll let you know how it pans out.
     
    FLATBED and Crazy Alex Thank this.
