Breathe easier on your drive with this car air purifier — just $25

Have you ever gotten into your car and it just smelled ... odd? Or worse: Has someone else gotten into your car, commented on the odor, but you hadn't even noticed? It's easy to go nose-blind to certain scents, but that doesn't mean they aren't there. And it also means the air quality in your car isn't what it could be, whether you realize it or not. There is a solution! Try the Pure Car Air Purifier. This little device plugs into the AC port of your car and helps cleanse the air of things like smoke, and pet and food smells. Say goodbye to that leftover food smell that just won't seem to go away.

This little gadget is powerful enough to eliminate even the stinkiest odors from your vehicle, and it even has two USB ports so you don't lose charger access while it's plugged in.

If you've ever driven a vehicle owned by a smoker, you know that certain odors linger and are nearly impossible to get rid of. The Pure Car Air Purifier eliminates them through ionization, or by releasing negatively charged ions in the air. It sounds fancy, but it's less complicated than you think. These ions basically put bad odors in a headlock until they decide to leave.

It won't work instantly, but you will notice a difference over time. There's a soft blue LED on the device that helps you see where it is in the dark — and that makes it easier to plug into either of the two USB 2.1 ports. The folks at Pure are confident enough in the efficacy of this product that they provide a one-year warranty and promise to replace any units that malfunction.

"Best product for odor elimination," one reviewer said. "My husband works at a paper mill, and if anyone knows how bad the smell is, you know it makes everything stink, including the inside of your truck. He bought a new truck, and I researched this product, bought one, and was so amazed at how great it works. You can actually still smell his leather seats, like the truck is new. We are both also smokers, and you can’t smell the smoke in our vehicles, either."

"I was not expecting this product to be so effective, but to my surprise it was. I purchased this to help keep odors from my vehicle and it works very well. Odors are eliminated from cars very quickly within a day or two if it’s really bad. I would say there’s a bit of a downside because the item only works when the vehicle is turned on, but it is still very effective," said another.
