Air purifiers are designed to remove allergens, odors, and pollutants from the air. Air purifiers range in size, function, price, and style, but most claim to help reduce airborne particles. Some air purifiers, especially those that come equipped with a High Efficiency Particle Air (HEPA) filter, are ideal for individuals who are allergic to tiny air particles. Some air purifiers even filter out bacteria and other microorganisms. Air purifiers can help reduce the overall amount of indoor air pollutants. Although air purifiers are not the only solution to ease allergic suffering, they do provide one more way to help increase indoor air quality in the home. Air Purifiers America provides reviews and tests on which air purifiers and filters for air purifiers are best for you.

How To Buy Air Purifiers

Thank you for visiting Air Purifiers America. We provide recommendations and air purifier reviews to selecting the best air purifier for your environment. We carry only HEPA air purifiers that do not emit or produce ozone. Beware of air purifiers that do not need filter replacements as many of these units have performed poorly both in our testing and in Consumer Reports. Since there are many different air purifiers on the market, please check our Air Purifiers Buying Guide for recommendations that can guide you to making an informed decision.

The primary factor in the selection of air purifiers is to address the allergens you are allergic to. Understanding this factor is essential in determining which HEPA air purifier is designed to remove that particular allergen. If your primary objective is to remove the allergens, you should select air purifiers that are sized appropriately for your room. Many air purifiers can remove the large allergen particles such as dust and pollen as well as smaller particles such as mold, bacteria, animal dander, and house dust mites. A HEPA air filter is essential in trapping these types of particles and removing them from your environment. It is important to note that more than 90% of all particulates are 0.3 microns and smaller which is why a HEPA air filter is the only solution to reducing your allergies. These smaller particles may include viruses, some bacteria and germs, smoke and smog. For the majority of the people, HEPA air purifiers that are capable of removing 90% of the particle size range is the best recommendation.

Once you have determined which type of particles you want to remove, you will then need to select an air purifier that is sized appropriately for your room. We recommend selecting a unit that can cover a larger room so you can select a lower fan speed to minimize the fan noise. Smaller units will need to have their fan settings turned higher to obtain more air flow to be effective in removing particles.

Our Recommendations

Air Purifiers America recommends air purifiers from IQAir or Alen. These air purifiers remove over 95% of all air borne particles such as: pollen, mold, dander and dust. These units are designed for bedrooms of 300 square feet or living rooms larger than 400 square feet.

Air Purifiers America does not recommend the Friedrich C-90B , Sharper Image Ionic Breeze or Oreck XL air cleaners as these units generate ozone which is harmful to the body according to laboratory research conducted by California DHS' Indoor Air Quality Program.
