Are air purifiers a waste of money?

Looking at investing to reduce the dust levels in my house and wondered if it was a good idea? My husband thinks it’s a con but I wondered if they would help.

I do air the house a lot in summer but in winter it gets harder. We have big dogs and a cat so lots of dander and they do smell musty in winter inbetween baths. I also live in an old 1930s house on a main road so it’s hard to clean every little bit of dust as there’s lots of hard to reach bits.

If you do have one and like it which one have you got?

Thankyou

It's definitely helped with hayfever in cleaning the air. I used to have to take lots of antihistamines in spring/summer and awake very clogged and uncomfortable. I've also brought portable ones when travelling and have been a godsent when hotel rooms are abit musty/dusty.

I've got the blueair ones.
