Have been looking too and was drawn towards the Dyson ones for looks and hot/cold fan functionality. They don't tend to do well in tests as a purifier though (Which and Wirecutter). The Top Which picks are Electriq EAP500HC and Blueair Classic 605. I don't mind the look of the Xiaomi effort but no idea how good it is!

My partner has the Dyson one.
The sensors are reasonably good, and it has helped with reducing cigarette smell from a downstairs neighbour (I suspect mostly by circulating air when smoking happens more than from filtering).
The humidifier doesn't feel particularly effective.
The purifier seems OK to quite good, but I've been in spaces that had single-function purifiers where it seemed better (post-cooking smells and particles noticeably drop quicker).
All-in-all... it's OK-ish.
For the spend, that's not a great outcome.
Would she buy it again? Yes! Because her space is limited so having a purifier, humidifier and fan all in a single not entirely unattractive package means it scores well for her despite her acknowledging that it doesn't excel at anything.
Biggest complaint is that the small fan that has to run 24/7 to allow it to detect poor air quality increases in volume over time. It's now an annoying and constant whine after 1 year.

We have this one. Fabric washable outer cover to get the big chunks, then a replaceable core below that.

Not strictly kitchen, but I am in the market for an air purifier. Needs to handle quite a big living room and connected dining room. Main focus is combating smoke from the wood fire and other nasties. I was looking at the dyson combined fan and filter thing, seems expensive but maybe it’s worth it?
