The Air Purifier Buying Guide

Published March 16, 2020 by Kory Leave a Comment

Are you wondering what you can do to reduce your exposure to allergens in the air? Are you tired of dealing with irritating allergy flare-ups? Air purifiers can offer many benefits to those who suffer from allergies.

Benefits of an air purifier

The name says it all, air purifiers help remove contaminants from the air. Air purifiers can also remove triggers for asthma attacks, can trap cigarette smoke, tobacco, airborne asbestos particles, and other indoor allergens.

That sounds great, but isn’t that what air filters are for?

Changing your home’s air filters regularly can drastically improve your indoor air quality, but many homes need additional help. If you or someone in your household suffers from respiratory ailments such as allergies, asthma, common colds or viruses, then looking at an air purifier may be worthwhile.

What you need to consider when buying an air purifier

Now that you know the benefits of an air purifier, there are several factors you need to consider when purchasing one:

  • Room size– You’ll need to consider the square footage of the room you want to purify. Sizes generally range from: small (up to 299 square feet), medium (between 300-699 square feet), large (between 700 and 1,900 square feet), and whole-house purification.
  • Budget– Know how much money you can put towards an air purifier. This will help you narrow down the choices and make the decision that provides the best value for your money.
  • Where to put your air purifier– When considering this, think about the room you spend most of the time in. For this reason, many opt for the bedroom because that is where they spend the most time when they are home.
  • Air purifier filter type– There are generally three choices: HEPA (last about one year depending on use); carbon filters (last about 6 months); pre-filters (last 3 months)

 

Here are a few air purifiers we recommend:

AirFree FIT800 Air Purifiers Small Room 180 sq. ft. Reduces up to 99% off the following: Home Dust, Airborne bacteria, Ozone, VOCs, and more! Plus, there’s no filter, so you don’t have to worry about ordering and changing filters.  >>>LEARN MORE.

Perfect for home or office use, the Germ Guardian 3-in-1 Air Cleaning System is designed with multiple filtration layers that include a pre-filter, a HEPA filter, and a charcoal filter. It also contains 5 powerful levels that use a UV-C light to kill common bacteria and germs, capture allergens, reduce unpleasant odor and kill airborne mold spores. >>>LEARN MORE.

With the ability to clean the air in multiple rooms, or a whole home up to 2,000 sq. ft., the LivePure LP 550TH-G Bali True HEPA Air Purifier removes up to 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns including smoke, dust, pollen, pet hair and dander, mold spores and dust mite debris. >>>LEARN MORE.

We also carry many other air purifier brands. If you have any questions about air purifiers, feel free to let us know in the comments below!

    You'll see me writing on a variety of topics, but they all come back to two basic things: water and air. I become more of an expert as I write, and I hope that you will too! In this industry you'll see a lot of jargon. I'll do my best to filter through it to show you exactly how clean water and air impacts your life. So sit back, enjoy and thank you for visiting FiltersFast.com.
