Vents TwinFresh Comfo RA1-50-2
#1 in Single roomFull review
A low cost, very quiet way to bring fresh air into one bedroom or office without ducts. Buy two for a larger room, since one unit moves little air in recovery mode.
Amazon $549$549

Pioneer ECOasis 50
#4 in Single roomFull review
An inexpensive through wall ERV with good filtration for one bedroom, best bought as a pair. Its specs are thinner and less consistent than the Vents TwinFresh units.
