Levoit air purifier

Small carbon-filter purifier used to clear cooking smoke and fumes

A compact air purifier with a carbon filter, sold mostly for household smells and smoke. Put it next to a stove or a workbench and it pulls the fumes out of the air in minutes instead of moving them around the room. Filters are rated in hours of running time, so short bursts make one last.

    Two of them: one next to the stove, one next to the laser cutter. He cooks lunch for his office every day, the dosas smoke, and this is what he presses a button on to clear it. Five minutes at a time is all he runs it for, so the carbon filter has lasted.
