37. Philips 3-in-1 Air Purifier

Many of you out there may have tried out an air purifier during the pandemic, since they help to cut down on toxins in the air that cause allergies, colds, and viruses. The Philips 3-in-1 Air Purifier is different from all the rest because it works as a fan, purifier, and even a heater all in one. The reason why it’s so important to have both a heat and a cooling function is because of heat inversion. In the cooler months, a layer of warm air covers cooler air. All pollutants that would normally get blown away become trapped. So by changing the fan to the heating function, you can still clean the air in all kinds of weather.

But when it’s on, the TV rolls out to its full 65 inches. This is perfect for anyone who’s trying to follow the Feng Shui rules of minimizing screens whenever possible. The only downside to this TV is that it costs $100,000.
