Things to Consider When Choosing an Air Purifier

Air Purification Technology 

Look for cleaners that use HEPA filters, activated carbon filters, or UV-C light technology to effectively remove a wide range of pollutants, including dust, allergens, smoke, and odors.

Room Coverage and Size

Choose an air purifier suitable for the size of the room you intend to use it in. Check the Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) and the recommended room size to ensure effective purification.

Noise level

Consider the air purifier’s noise level, especially if you plan to use it in a bedroom or office. Look for models with a quiet operation mode or sleep mode for minimal disruption.

Maintenance and Filter Replacement

Check the ease of maintenance and the cost and frequency of filter replacements. Most air purifiers have indicators that alert you when it’s time to change the filter, which helps maintain optimal performance.

Price

Compare the prices of different air purifiers to find one that fits your budget. Consider the initial cost highlighted in our list and ongoing costs for filter replacements and energy consumption to determine the device’s long-term affordability.

The Blueair Blue Pure 211i Max is a reliable, fast, quiet, smart air purifier. Its maximum clean air delivery rate is almost 700 cubic meters per hour, which is more than enough for large rooms and spacious areas.

The Blue Pure 211i Max has the company’s trademarked HEPASilent™ technology. This tech combines electrostatic and mechanical filtration to capture at least 99.97% of airborne particles down to 0.1 microns in size.

A special pre-filter material encases the outer body of the 211i Max, extending the life of the primary filters by catching large airborne particles such as dust, lint, pollen, and pet hair. The stylishly designed pre-filters, which come in several colors, allow you to customize the 211i Max to match your home décor.

The 5-color LED indicator displays air quality readings, so you are always aware of your current air quality. The device measures 57 centimeters tall, which is adequate considering the high volume of clean air the 211i Max can deliver.

You can use this air purifier on five different control speeds, including an adaptive auto mode. When used at the lowest settings, the Blue Pure 211i Max generates about 23 decibels of noise and is never louder than 53 decibels at the fastest speed.

The Blue Pure 211i Max has a higher operating cost than similar devices, with a set of filters costing nearly €100.

The Duux Tube is a Dutch-made smart air purifier, rated for a clean air delivery rate of 550 cubic meters per hour. It’s suitable for rooms up to 75 square meters and can clean a room of this size in only twenty minutes.

The Duux Tube can remove up to 99.97% of all aerosols, gases, dust particles, and contaminants from the air. It achieves this number thanks to its three-layer filter protection system, which includes a pre-filter, HEPA H13 filter, and active carbon filter.

Users can increase its efficiency further by activating the built-in ionizer, which disperses negative ions to capture even the smallest dust particles. Thanks to the PM2.5 sensor, the Tube switches on automatically when air quality is poor.

Its elegant design, characterized by its matt finish, organic round shape, and ingenious leather detail on the air outlet, makes the Tube the perfect addition to any room. The device’s front features a high-resolution LCD screen that displays the current temperature, humidity, and air quality.

Once added to Homey, users can remotely monitor the status of their air quality and trigger custom cleaning Flows based on personalized thresholds. The Duux Tube’s biggest drawback is its high noise level at the fastest cleaning speed, which can be quite noticeable.

If you’re looking for a capable smart fan and air purifier combo device, consider the Dyson Purifier Cool TP07. Like most Dyson fans, the TP07 features a modern design with a slim, bladeless cylindrical shape. It allows 350-degree oscillation and ensures efficient air purification throughout the room.

The TP07 can deliver up to 180 cubic meters per hour of clean air and has a capacity above 1000 cubic meters per hour when used solely as a cooling fan. While it can be used in rooms larger than its recommended size of 75 square meters, the amount of delivered clean air will decrease accordingly.

Using Dyson’s Air Multiplier technology, the TP07 draws in distant particles and then projects purified air evenly throughout the room. Depending on the layout of your home, you can choose between 45, 90, 180, and 350 degrees of oscillation to adapt this feature to your space.

A particulate, gas, humidity, and temperature sensor provides the TP07 with real-time information about its surroundings and acts as input for the automatic purifying mode. The sensors also allow you to view real-time air quality reports on the integrated LCD screen, such as 24-hour AQI, PM 2.5, PM 10, VOCs, NO2, SO2, temperature, humidity, and filter life.

While the TP07 is reasonably quiet when used at the fastest operating speed, it does have one of the highest noise levels when used at the lowest speed. It’s compatible with Homey and Homey Pro. It allows you to change the airflow direction, set oscillation, toggle auto and night mode, and monitor the air quality.

The Govee Smart Air Purifier Lite is a compact and budget-friendly option designed to purify air in small spaces up to 17 square meters, making it ideal for bedrooms, kitchens, or children’s rooms. Despite its affordable price, it features a robust 3-in-1 filtration system, including a pre-filter, HEPA 13 filter, and activated carbon filter, capable of trapping particles as small as 0.1 microns.

The Govee Air Purifier Lite features a dual-channel 360-degree air intake design, improving its efficient and clean air delivery rate. It has a built-in aromatherapy function, with a fragrance pad you can place below the air outlet.

With a clean air delivery rate of around 85 cubic meters per hour, it can purify a room in under 30 minutes. Users can select from three operating speeds to control the cleaning speed and noise level, with noise levels ranging from a whisper-quiet 24 decibels to 46 decibels at the highest setting.

Due to its compact size, the filters require replacement twice to three times yearly to maintain optimal performance.

The IKEA STARKVIND air purifier features a sleek, cylindrical design that seamlessly blends into any modern home while purifying your air. It’s also available as a unique table design, adding versatility and style to its functionality.

The STARKVIND can deliver 260 cubic meters per hour of clean air, easily purifying even more spacious rooms. It generates a noise level of only 24 decibels at the lowest speed and up to 53 decibels at the highest. You can set the air purifier to five different fan speeds and adapt it to the needs of your home, or you can use it in auto mode.

Unlike most air purifiers on our list, the STARKVIND uses Zigbee to communicate and pair with Homey Bridge or Homey Pro. Once integrated, users can monitor the air quality, set fan speed, toggle the cleaner, and turn auto mode on or off.

It’s worth mentioning that the IKEA STARKVIND purifier does not use a true HEPA filter, meaning it may not be as effective at removing airborne particles, pollutants, and allergens as other devices on our list.

The Levoit Core 600S is a premium smart air purifier with an impressive clean air delivery rate of nearly 700 cubic meters per hour. It can filter the air in a 60-square-meter room five times in just one hour.

It features a 3-stage filtration system, including a pre-filter, a main HEPA filter, and a custom high-efficiency activated carbon filter trademarked as the ARC formula.

The ARC formula, short for “air recomposition formula,” utilizes a high concentration of carbon pellets to neutralize smoke, fumes, and VOCs (volatile organic compounds). It chemically decomposes harmful molecules trapped in the filter, preventing them from reentering your environment.

Despite its powerful performance, the Levoit Core 600S operates quietly, with noise levels as low as 26 decibels and a maximum of 55 decibels at the highest speed. Its dedicated night mode ensures slow and efficient air purification without noticeable noise, allowing undisturbed sleep.

Note that the replacement filters for the Levoit Core 600S are expensive and require frequent replacement. The 600S integrates well with Homey Pro, where users can monitor the filter’s lifespan.

The Meross MAP100 is another great budget-friendly pick for a smart air purifier. Its delivery rate is 160 cubic meters per hour, suitable for rooms up to 20 square meters, such as bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms, and offices.

The unit measures 390 x 180 x 180 millimeters and weighs only 2.3 kilograms, making it compact enough to place on a shelf or on the corner of an office desk.

The MAP100 has a 3-layer filtration system, including a pre-filter, a true HEPA H13 filter, and an activated carbon filter. It can effectively eliminate 99.97% of pet dander, hair, pollen, odors, smoke, VOCs, and other hazardous substances in the air.

Like the Govee Smart Air Purifier Lite model, the Meross MAP100 operates very quietly, with noise levels ranging from 24 to 48 decibels. This model uses Wi-Fi to connect to your home network and pair with Homey Pro, allowing you to monitor the current state of the air quality, change fan speed, and remotely lock or unlock the device.

It’s worth mentioning that the Meross MAP100 doesn’t have a dedicated PM 2.5 sensor, meaning it cannot autonomously measure the particulate matter in the air.

The Philips 4000i Series is a top-tier air purifier with an impressive feature set. It delivers clean air at a rate of 610 cubic meters per hour, effectively purifying rooms up to 158 square meters in size.

The Philips 4000i features a 3-layer filtration system with NanoProtect HEPA, an active carbon filter, and a pre-filter that captures 99.97% of ultra-fine particles as small as 0.003 microns. This system frees your home from PM2.5, bacteria, viruses, pollen, dust, pet dander, gasses, and other pollutants and allergens.

This model offers four different speed settings, including sleep and turbo modes. When used in sleep mode, the Philips 4000i is the quietest air purifier on our list, generating only 18 decibels of noise. This sound level is close to the threshold of human hearing, making the Philips purifier virtually noiseless.

Once integrated with Homey, you can track the filter lifespan, PM2.5 value, TVOC levels, and air quality index. You can also control the fan and cleaner and set the operating mode. The device features a screen displaying all air quality values and allows you to control the purifier locally.

The impressive feature set of the Philips 4000i Series Air Purifier comes at a premium, making it the most expensive air purifier on our Best Buy Guide list.
