Air purifiers are an excellent choice for people who suffer from allergies or other respiratory ailments. These air cleaning appliances use a filtration system to remove airborne pollutants such as pet dander, smoke, dust, and pollen. Below, we’ve compiled a list of the best air purifiers on the market right now.
Blueair Blue Pure 211+ Auto
The Blueair Blue Pure 211+ is powerful enough to clean the air in a large space while using minimal electricity and making very little noise. It may not be as popular as its more expensive counterpart, the Health Protect 7470i, but it does the job without the added cost. Its average Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) of 360 for smoke, dust, and pollen is pretty good, too. That means it removes contaminants from the air quickly and efficiently. It’s also one of the most visually appealing air purifiers, with a distinctive top grate and a slim pre-filter skirt.
Honeywell HPA300
The Honeywell HPA300 is a large beast of a gadget that provides good value for money given its high performance. It’s a huge oval air purifier with slats all around that seems like it belongs in a dystopian future office.
It’s also quite heavy, weighing about 17 pounds. It is quite simple to set up; simply open the front panel and remove the plastic from the provided filters. A reference guide is conveniently located near the top control panel, so one doesn’t have to go looking for the handbook, which typically goes missing after only a few days. It doesn’t have a lot of settings and features, but it does include a timer and a dimmer.
Coway Airmega AP-1512HH
There’s no denying that this Coway air purifier resembles an iPod Shuffle, but if one doesn’t mind the antiquated Apple design, it’s a superb device. It has an auto sensor built in, which is a must-have feature for high-end air purifiers. Without it, the purifier is left running at maximum speed, which may cause one to incur a hefty utility cost. It scored an average CADR of 240 and would fit a 384-square-foot room. The only downside is that replacing the filter can get expensive.
