Our take
If you have a large open home and need something you can move between rooms without it driving you crazy with noise, the ProX is the pick — Reddit and WIRED both land on it for the same reasons.
The Winix Zero S is flying under the radar right now, but allergy Reddit is buzzing about it — when someone says a product stopped their severe dust allergy symptoms and gives it a 100% recommendation, that's worth listening to.
