Can make one for $40.  Buy the filter to suit your needs.  Higher-Merv filters, you should get one thicker, like 4 inches, to reduce stress on fan. (thicker filter, less resistance)  A basic Merv 10 like this one filters out dust, pollen, mold spores, etc.  I can really tell the difference.  (The cat was being a distraction; so I gave him one, too.  A piece of tape between the shoulder blades gave me the 5 minutes I needed).  He wasn't very happy about it.   By the way, this has been tested & found to be effective.  After all, an air cleaner is basically these two components; just make sure it's sealed.

Don't put a filter on one of those cheap ass $20 Lasco box fans. It will quickly overheat and burn up. Fucking POS thing barely blew any air to begin with. Ya I killed one by taping a good antimicrobial furnace filter to it.

Bro, Merv rating 10 & under it's fine on 2/medium setting;  Higher MERV values require a thicker (read deeper) filter... like 4 inches thick, instead of the basic 1 inch filter.  Reason being, it greatly decreases the resistance & attendant load on the fan.  It's a $20 fan, if it fails, will just return it.

And the cat thinks what about this???  8P

They've been running (the two I have) pretty much 24/7 for the past 8 months; taking the time to clean them when needed.  He likes to lay a distance in front of them, at times, catching the airflow entering through the window.  It's a pleasant white background noise, not unlike a dryer running.

At first, I thought that the blue thing was the cat litter :pardon:But, indeed, it wouldn't have been so good for the ambient air. :yes
