There is more than one way to save on clean air. The cheapest clean air of all is a Corsi-Rosenthal box you build yourself for around £60 — nothing beats it on value. Here's how to get the best value whether you build or buy.
681 m³/h CADR, MERV-13, under 35 dB — powerful whole-home clean air — no proprietary lock-in, ships from the UK.

A box fan, four or five MERV-13 filters and some tape deliver clean-air rates rivalling purifiers costing far more. Follow the build instructions and source parts via UK suppliers.
The saving that matters most: standard filters
Whether you build or buy, insist on standard MERV-13 filters (around £40 a year) rather than proprietary cartridges (£80–150 a year). Over three years that choice saves more than any one-off offer.
Run it efficiently
Efficient fans cost about £2 a year to run continuously; a box fan a little more. Run lower speeds when the air is already clean. See energy costs and cheapest indoor air purification.
