It is necessary to have an air purifier in the car. The air purifier can absorb harmful gases like CO and gasoline, and it can also purify solid particles. Here is an introduction to the types of air purifiers: 1. Pure purification type: If you are in an area with moderate indoor humidity or have relatively low requirements for air quality, a pure purification type air purifier will meet your needs. 2. Humidification purification type: If you are in a drier area, often use air conditioning which dries the indoor air, or have higher requirements for air quality, then choosing an air purifier with humidification and purification functions will be the most suitable choice.

As a mom who's constantly shuttling kids around, I deeply feel the necessity of having an air purifier in the car. A vehicle is an enclosed space where dust, pollen, and bacteria easily accumulate, especially during spring and fall when my child starts sneezing as soon as they get in the car—I worry about allergies affecting their health. The purifier filters out these impurities, improving air quality, particularly when driving in heavily polluted cities. There are also frequent odors in the car, like fast food smells or pet odors, making the purifier's deodorizing function very practical. I also make sure to regularly open windows for ventilation, but the purifier provides extra protection. It's convenient to plug into the cigarette lighter, affordable models offer good value, and their filters are easy to replace. Overall, it's a small investment that safeguards family health—a worthwhile daily habit.

I drive to work every day, and during long commutes, the air in the car gets stuffy and unpleasant, especially with odors that affect my mood. After installing an air purifier, I feel much more comfortable breathing—it filters out PM2.5 and dust, which is particularly useful during traffic jams or hazy days. While the car's air conditioning system filters the air, it's not thorough enough, so the purifier fills that gap and keeps the air fresh. For someone like me who's always on the go, a more comfortable drive means higher efficiency. Spending a few hundred dollars on a reliable device is worth it, and maintenance is simple—just replace the filters regularly. Definitely worth a try.

From my experience driving a used car in college, whether to get an in-car air purifier depends on individual circumstances. For example, living in the suburbs with good air quality and a clean car, I didn’t really need one. But in heavily polluted urban areas, having one can help filter dust, eliminate odors, and alleviate health concerns. Prices range from tens to thousands, and a basic, affordable model is usually sufficient—just watch out for high filter replacement costs. Considering cost-effectiveness, occasional drivers may not find it necessary, while frequent users will get more value. Assess your own needs before making a choice.
