There are several factors to consider when purchasing an air purifier. While they are features you may desire as standard, additional options can cater to your individual preferences.

Purification Process 

While all air purifiers clean the air, they can use different systems and processes. You may prefer the ability to check a filter is working by looking at the amount of dust and dirt it traps. However, a UV light purifier is cleaner as it kills germs while they are in the air.

You can also opt for a combination of both processes in one unit. Your preferred system comes down to individual preference, but both are highly-effective air purifying methods.

Air Purifier Size

To effectively clean the air, you need to find the right-sized unit for your space. If you have a large room at home, or the purifier is for office use, a larger unit is more suitable. For portability or use in multiple places, a more compact air purifier may be more desirable.

Air Purifier Noise Level

We found that nearly every air purifier emits a moderate amount of operating noise. Most of the time, some sound won’t be an issue, but if you really must have a near-silent model, then you’ll want to choose carefully.

Noise levels are particularly important if you use your air purifier overnight while you sleep or run the unit in a room where you watch television or listen to music.

Air Purifier Convenience

We enjoyed the touch screen control panels on the air purifying units, and Bluetooth control took convenience to the next level. Because some air purifiers have auto adjust fans that react to varying pollution levels in your home, you may not even have to change the fan speed throughout the day.

While air purifiers are easy to use, purchasing a model that connects to your phone or tablet, or responds to voice commands on a smart system removes any unnecessary hassle.
