It's not trivial though - it's not easy to 'push air through a HEPA filter' - you need to shop for a motor, blades, and filter more than simply fan (comprising motor and blades) and filter really. Or at least you need to be aware and get a suitably beefy fan - I think $50 is a hard budget to hit just for that reason. Or at least it is if you don't have easy access to cheap 'box fans' that are for some reason so prevalent in North America (what's their usual use?).
You can spend a lot of money on just a fan, it's not just air purifier marketing nonsense.
- mikecoles 3y agoUnsure about the entire US... For my area they were called "window fans" in previous times. Before air conditioning was prevalent, you'd use these box fans, placed in the window, to circulate air to provide a more comfortable environment. In years past, the fans were beefier than the current generation. They also used metal fins. Speaking into one made a vaguely similar effect to speaking Like Darth Vader. It was entertaining as a child.
