A HEPA filter is key when shopping for an air purifier, like the Dyson Purifier Cool Formaldehyde. Dyson

While common allergens such as pollen and grass do affect people seasonally, allergens such as household dust can cause discomfort year-round. Stagnant indoor air can make those allergies even worse. We've found the best Labor Day deals on top-rated air purifiers that remove fall dust and allergens from your home.

An air purifier can help relieve allergy symptoms, whether they're seasonal or perennial. Instead of entering your body, airborne particles enter the air filter, leaving you with crisp, clean air in your home.

The key to the best air quality is finding a purifier with a True HEPA filter. These filters can "remove at least 99.97% of dust, pollen, mold, bacteria and any airborne particles with a size of 0.3 microns," according to the Environmental Protection Agency. (For comparison, standard HEPA filters remove 99% of particles as small as 2 microns.)

Below, find the best fall air purifiers for your home with HEPA filtration from Dyson, Molekule and more. From splurge-worthy to budget-conscious, these air purifiers offer you clean air that brings relief.

We've also found Labor Day deals on top-rated air purifiers you can shop right now.
