Dyson air puriefier vs drier sheet?

Dyson air puriefier vs drier sheet?

Some dudes need to clean the air around them.  Some like to use drier fabric softener sheets taped to fans… because you can get multiple uses, I get it.  But step back and stop to smell the fresh air from a Dyson air purifier.  Yes they are pricey.  But these things work better then a drier sheet.  They also say “classy dude” and “refined” better then those dryer sheets do, albeit only slightly…
