Last updated on January 1st, 2023

Air purifiers and essential oil diffusers perform completely different tasks. However, there are few good air purifier and diffuser combos that execute both tasks with high efficiency.

Down below I present to you my 5 best air purifiers with essential oil diffusers in 2023. You can also familiarize yourself with the FAQ section below where I answer the most common questions about air purifiers and oil diffusers.

HoMedics TotalClean Deluxe 5-in-1 Air Purifier

HoMedics TotalClean Deluxe AP-T45 HEPA air purifier is the best product if you are looking for an air cleaner and essential oil diffuser combo. This model comes with a multi-stage air cleaning system that removes all airborne pollution found in your home, office or any other place.

A combination of three filters – the pre-filter, HEPA air filter and Activated Carbon filter removes 99.97% of dangerous particles down to 0.3 micron. It means that even the fine particles of dust, pollen, smoke, VOCs and bacteria will be captured and removed from the air.

In addition to the mechanical filtration, the UV-C light provides defense from viruses, bacteria, mold and fungus while the optional ionizer enhances the capturing of airborne particles with its ions.

The HoMedics air purifier has 5-selection speeds: from the whisper quiet Sleep mode to the Turbo mode. the latter is noisy, but it can quickly remove the pollution even in a large room. Or you can simply set the Auto mode on and the unit will automatically adjust the speed based on the number of harmful particles floating in the air.

The package also contains 3 essential oil tray pads. You can use any oil to put in the pads, so this air purifier will not only clean the air but also diffuse an aroma of your choice around the house.

The HoMedics TotalClean Deluxe has also been featured in the “Best Air Purifiers with Ionizer” and “Best UV Light Air Purifiers” nominations, so you can rest assured about its efficiency at removing airborne pollution and freshening the air. I recommend using it in a living room 24/7.

Miko Ibuki HEPA Air Purifier & Essential Oil Diffuser

Miko Ibuki is a popular crowdfunded HEPA air purifier with essential oil diffuser of this year. It also comes with a 3-in-1 filter (has a preliminary filter, HEPA H13 medical-grade filter and anti-bacterial filter) that removes 99.97% of smoke, pollen, allergens, pet dander, odors in a small room.

This affordable portable air purifier is quiet on the lowest speed, so it can be easily used in our bedroom at night as it won’t produce any high pitched noise. Instead, it produces a whisper-quiet white noise that might even help someone get to sleep.

The filter has to be replaced on average every 6 months. Use only the genuine Miko Ibuki replacement filter, as any 3rd party filter might not fit the unit and you will just waste your money.

Afloia Fillo

Afloia Fillo also uses a 3-stage air filtration system to clean the air with the pre-filter, HEPA filter and Charcoal filter. It cleans the air in rooms up to 200 sq. ft. and diffuses the scent you have put into the oil sponge (comes in the box). Essential oil doesn’t come in the package thought, you have to buy it separately.

Does the Afloia clean the air? Yes, it removes many types of airborne pollution, including allergens, cigarette smoke, pet dander and hair.

The air purifier is completely ozone-free and can be used in a baby room or a room with elderly people 24/7. It’s very easy in use, has a selection of 3 speeds and adjustable night lights so they won’t disturb anyone’s sleep.

The Afloia Fillo can be used in small rooms, such as bathrooms, bedrooms or kitchens. It will not only remove the unpleasant odor but also diffuse an aroma of your choice.

Aroeve MK01

Aroeve MK01 is another popular budget, small and portable air purifier with. It features a smaller room coverage compared to its bigger and pricier model, but it also comes with an oil diffuser that can fill any room with a pleasant scent.

This air purifier delivers 4.8 air changes per hour in any ~200 sq. ft. room, capturing all allergens, odors and other air pollution in the area. You can easily use the Aroeve MK01 to keep the air clean and fresh at the same time with a pleasant scent you add to the diffuser section of the unit.

The average life of the 3-in-1 HEPA filter can vary depending on how often you use the air purifier. On average it has a lifespan of 2000 working hours – after that a light will turn on and lets you know that it is time to replace the old filter with a new one.

Slevoo Air Purifier

Slevoo is the cheapest air purifier and diffuser combo you can get while still getting the air cleaned from pollution. It doesn’t feature any ionizer or UV-C light but offers HEPA filtration to remove pollen, dust, pet dander and other common airborne particulate matter from small rooms.

I strongly recommend checking my Slevoo review to know more about this product. In short, it’s a good choice if you want to keep the air clean from odors and other pollution while also diffusing a pleasant scent.

FAQ

Where can I get a combo of humidifier, air purifier and diffuser?

Unfortunately, there is none I am aware of. The best you can get is this humidifier and oil diffuser, but it won’t clean the air. You will still need an air purifier to properly remove airborne impurities.

What’s the difference between an air purifier and diffuser?

An air purifier’s main purpose is to remove particulate matter from the air. This particulate matter may include various dust particles (atmospheric dust, construction dust, etc.), allergens (mostly pollen), hair, smoke (wildfire, tobacco, etc.), odors, VOCs, germs, bacteria, chemicals and viruses. As a result, the air is cleaned and it won’t smell any chemicals and such. Go here to know more about air purifiers and how they work.

An essential oil diffuser has another purpose which is to diffuse a scent to fill any space with a pleasant aroma. It can be a useful addition to any air purifier. For example, an air purifier in a bathroom will at first remove the toilet odor and then diffuse the aroma in the air.

Do essential oil diffusers purify the air?

No, they don’t! They simply do not have the means to do so. If you buy an oil diffuser and use it in a room that smells bad, you will end up in a room that smells bad with an oil scent you have bought before.

Can you recommend any essential oil?

They are all the same just with a different scent. Get yourself any you like.
