While air purifiers are a great idea I just want to put a warning out there about the current state of air monitors.

The current summary is that most of them are wildly inaccurate with false positives and you might just be better off checking your outdoor air quality from the EPA using their app.

Would love for someone to provide a better recommendation.

That's partially missing the point of air monitors. In most western countries the risk is less outside smog etc and more what you get up to. Fry some bacon and suddenly you're at 20x the recommended values.
