My room is really hot, dusty, and small. Should I invest in a window unit/air purifier or both?

Get a window unit. And make sure it pulls fresh air from outside to the inside. And doesn't just regurgitate the same inside air.

To control dust.. Though raising humidity levels (good if you want to keep things cold and don't want nose bleeds) a little desktop water feature with a filter on it. You will be amazed how much dust that little shit collects in a week.

If there's no central forced air system, it's good to have a small HEPA unit. We used to post about making them from box fans, cardboard, and duct tape. The good thing about that solution is the filters being a common standard so they're cheap and always available. Could probably build a more skookum version of this. Otherwise you can buy one that takes special special snowflake shit. Winix makes some that are a good value, with cheap third party filters available. Just be sure to hold the power button to shut off the hydroxyl generator, because it's probably not the best for your lungs and some materials. Kills mold though. I have a Rabbit Air minusa2 in my bedroom and Honeywell (actually made by another company licensing the brand) cylinder in the living room. Can only get third party replacement filters unless you want to stack three shorter ones, replacing much of the filter area with gaskets that don't seal well.
