Air Filter/Purifier? (slrpnk.net)

I was cleaning the other day and noticed some lint/dust getting sucked into the vacuum cleaner while I was holding it in the air. It made me think an air filter would probably catch dirt as it gets stirred up within the space.

Does anyone use one? Have you noticed a cleaner room/home as a result?

I would ask about the source first.

Are your air vents dirty? Outdoor pollution? Shedding pets? Fabrics?

An air purifier may be an expensive mask rather than resolving the issue at the source.

    I think it's mostly fabrics (clothes, bedding etc) shedding, so small particles of cotton and wool (and a small amount of polyester as we haven't 100% eradicated that yet). I'm sure there are bits of ourselves and residue of our toddler's meals getting thrown into the mix as well! So, probably not much load we could easily eliminate... We have a small home, so everything is quite concentrated.
