We're also in the same boat. It's something that stays out all the time. It's just unsightly to keep a box fan filter out all the time (we used one when we first moved out, and man, the back of the filter gets disgusting).

Looks do matter, and at least for our decor, there isn't really much choice. We pick our furniture based on how it mathes our interior decor, why would an air purifier be any different if it's out and on all the time?

I suspect the answer here isn't "replace your dyson with a box fan and bungie cords" but - if you care about air filtration, buy a cheaper more effective one that looks ok.

It's not surprising a 3-in-1 product isn't very good at (at least) 1 of those functions.
