As someone with year-round allergies and a dust-prone apartment, the MOOKA H01 air purifier has been a game-changer. The first night I used it on sleep mode (which is whisper-quiet at 15dB), I woke up without my usual stuffy nose—like magic! The compact size blends perfectly on my nightstand, and the optional blue nightlight gives just enough glow to find my water glass without being disruptive.

What surprised me most was how effectively it tackled cooking smells. After frying fish (oops), I cranked it to high speed for 30 minutes—the lingering odor vanished completely. The fragrance sponge feature is hit-or-miss though; my lavender oil barely made an impact unless I dripped it directly onto the filter during operation.

Living in a 400sqft studio, I was skeptical about its coverage claims, but after two weeks of continuous use (alternating between medium and sleep modes), the layer of dust on my shelves has visibly decreased. My cat’s litter box area now stays fresher longer too—I just position the purifier nearby with its 360° intake facing the box.

The USB-C power is brilliant for versatility—I’ve used it with a power bank during blackouts and even brought it to my car when wildfire smoke rolled in. That said, the touch controls are frustratingly sensitive; sometimes it takes three tries to change settings. Still, for under $50, this little powerhouse delivers where it counts: cleaner air and better sleep.
