From my perspective it is a machine that wastes electricity to sound like a fan and make the air smell like nothing at all. Who wants air that smells like nothing? Is there a song about that kind of sterility? I wager not.

As best I can tell this air filtration piece of junk is trying to be a proxy for whatever goes through Luke Bryan's head as he sings about a box fan sucking in swamp air. The difference is that Luke Bryan is a musician. This air filter is plastic.
They distributed those hereabouts when the chemical weapons disposal facility went up, mainly for the possibility of toxic particulate pollution. I had one for a while. Had something like a giant Diesel engine intake air filter with a forced air circulation fan.
