I'd like to get one that has widely available filters and would prefer to spend less than $250 as much as I would like a Dyson one. It's only for an apartment so I don't think I need something massive but I do live above a busy road.

I got a 20-in box fan and four 20x20x2 air filters.

Tape the air filters together into a square and then tape the box fan on to one of the open sides.

Said it so the box fan is facing upward, plug in and turn on. You have a whole house air filter for like $50 or less that will do as good of a job if not better than pretty much any other device on the market.

When the air filters start to turn a dingy color, replace them for 20ish dollars. Fan should be good for several years.
