How to find the best air purifier

It’s easy to ask which are the best air purifiers, but a lot harder to give an answer that does the question justice. You see, there is no such thing as the best air purifier.

Why?

Well, the best air purifier is the one that suits your situation – so it’s all relative.

However, if you answer the following questions, then you’ll have a good chance of finding the best air purifier for you!

What air quality are you aiming for? Just to get rid of some pollen, or do you have a family member who is desperately seeking relief from serious allergy or asthma problems?
Generally speaking, the higher the desired air quality, the costlier the solution.

Do I need air purification for the whole house, or just in a couple of rooms? Whole house purifiers generally are costlier, and are not as effective as room air purifiers, so are not likely to be the best air purifier around.

What capacity does your best air purifier have? Make sure that the air purifier can effortlessly clean the room by checking the air purifier’s CADR – Clean Air Delivery Rate. If you do not, you might have to run the air purifier at the highest setting, making the unit noisy and leaving you with a higher energy bill.

Does the best air purifier for you run silently? HEPA air purifiers generally are noisier than ionic/electrical air purifiers, so if you want a HEPA purifier, make sure the motor is powerful enough for the room to be cleaned effortlessly.

For many the best air purifier is cheap, and has low operating expenses. HEPA air purifiers have quite expensive filters that need replacing every few years, and depending on quality, sometimes more frequently. HEPA air purifiers also use more electricity, as a more powerful motor is required to overcome the resistance of the dense HEPA filter.

The best air purifiers, at least as far as manufacturing quality is concerned, have generous warranties on the unit and on any filters.

How safe should the air purifier be. Ozone generators in particular have become somewhat controversial, as some of them generate ozone levels that can irritate the lungs or worse.

Quite a task, not? Fortunately, nowadays we can do our research on the internet. Just remember to take air purifier reviews that purport to have picked the best air purifier with a grain of salt!
