The viral Air Purifier Table is my smart home’s MVP (and it’s on sale for $179)

The SwitchBot 4-in-1 Air Purifier Table is a 4-in-1 device that looks like an end table but serves as a large-capacity air purifier, wireless charger, and nightlight.

I like having an air purifier in most rooms of my home to reduce airborne allergens, odors, and particles. In my guest room, for example, I used to have a large purifier and a side table as a nightstand. When I got this SwitchBot Purifier Table, however, it replaced both items — and the job better at the same time.

The air purifying feature is so quiet that this table has been a perfect addition to the guest room. I’ve had it for about two months, serving three guests during that time, who’ve used all of its features, even the nightlight for ambient lighting. 

The air purifying feature also effectively removes air pollutants. It has three modes: Auto, Pet, and Sleep. The device’s body features a three-layer filtration system, including a washable pre-filter, a HEPA filter, and a third carbon filter.

As a charger, the SwitchBot Air Purifier Table served its purpose of wirelessly charging devices overnight while our guests slept. The wireless charger portion of the tabletop is a raised circle, which I admit was one of my initial dislikes. But I came to appreciate the circle when trying to set down my phone to charge during the night, where I could feel the table and know exactly where to place it.

SwichBot also says it can remove 98.18% of odors in 30 minutes, which I tested with different cooking odors in my home. I cook often, but hate when the smell sticks to fabric, like my jacket hanging in the laundry room next to the kitchen. 

This is one of the key reasons I have so many air purifiers at home. The SwitchBot Air Purifier Table has been able to remove lingering food quickly smells in the closed guest room, which helps prevent them from permeating fabrics.

While you can use the device’s buttons to control the Air Purifier Table’s settings, you can also use the SwitchBot app, with a SwitchBot Hub 2, for smart home integrations. The app provides insights into your air quality in addition to schedules and settings.
