HOW TO SHOP FOR
AIR PURIFIERS
A portable air purifier can reduce asthma and allergy symptoms, as well as help those who suffer from lung problems.
When it comes to shopping for a portable air cleaner, start by assessing the features you need in a good air purifier:
• Size—most manufacturers will provide consumers with the appropriate room size that the air purifier can clean efficiently and effectively. A good rule of thumb is purchasing an air purifier that is certified for a room size that is at least one third larger than the one you are putting it in to.
• Air filtering efficiency—this is important because at the basic level, you want an air purifier that will effectively clean the air.
• Noise level—this should be as low as possible but remember, quieter doesn’t necessarily mean better.
• Warranty—ideally, a unit with at least a year warranty is good to have in case of any unforeseen issues.
• Electricity costs—know how much it costs to run an electronic air cleaner.
• Indicator lights for filter changes—some units have them and while it’s not necessary, it’s very convenient.
• Size and look of air purifiers—opt for sleek and pleasing to the eye purifiers that won’t be as noticeable in your home.
By looking at these features, you’ll gain a greater knowledge of shopping for the best air purifiers that are fair in cost and high in efficiency.
