Controlling pollutants, airborne allergens and bacteria can be an ongoing battle, and the AM-45 Air Purification System from Amcor is a high-tech, cost-effective weapon in the fight for clean air. The 27.5-inch-high tower combines an impressive five filtration methods to clean and sterilize air, from a washable nylon pre-filter to a patented carbon filament ionizer.

Along the way, the air zips through Amcor's Photo Catalytic Oxidation (PCO) system, which cleans the air with a titanium dioxide-coated honeycomb filter and an ultraviolet lamp. At this stage, the purifier removes bacteria, viruses, and fungi from the air and gets rid of bad smells by breaking down odor molecules. The five-step filtration system is a notable feature, particularly at a price point of less than $150.

The design mimics the unit's 21st-century technology, with a sleek look, an LCD display, timer and a remote control. The Amcor AM-45 Air Purification System also features a three-speed motor and a 1-year limited warranty.
