Best Air Purifiers for Flats & Small Rooms (UK)
Space Saving Solutions
In many UK flats, floor space is premium. You don't want a bulky appliance tripping you up in the hallway. We have chosen models that have a tiny footprint (smaller than a dinner plate) or can be placed on a desk.

Small, stylish, and effective.

Buying Guide: Compact vs. Weak
Be careful—many "mini" purifiers are just fancy fans. We ensured that even the smallest units on this list use True HEPA filters and have enough fan power to cycle the air in a small room at least 2-3 times an hour.
Summary
For a small bedroom or flat, the **Philips Series 800** strikes the perfect balance between size and power.
