Air purifiers are a great way to reduce allergens in your home and improve air quality. But with so many models on the market, it can be difficult to know which one is best for your needs. In this article, we'll discuss the features to look for in an air purifier, the best air purifiers for allergies, and how to use them effectively. When shopping for an air purifier, the most important factor to consider is the size of the room you want to purify.
The Honeywell HPA100 is designed for larger rooms up to 155 square feet, making it a great choice for those looking to reduce allergens in their home. However, if you have a smaller space, you may want to opt for a smaller model such as the Coway Airmega AP-1512HH Mighty or the Airmega 400. When it comes to filtering out allergens, HEPA air purifiers are your best bet. These models are designed to capture particles as small as 0.3 microns, including dust, pollen, pet dander, and smoke.
We tested this method on the Coway Airmega AP-1512HH Mighty and the Airmega 400 for three hours (one hour at high temperature), followed by two at medium temperature after burning 15 wooden matches to create a large initial load of fine smoke particles. The Honeywell InSight HPA5300B is another popular model for larger spaces, but after measuring its electricity demand, we ruled it out. Compared to our selection for large spaces, the Blueair Blue Pure 211+, the Honeywell consumes 33, 60, 94 and 117 watts at its four speeds (from low to turbo), respectively. The Blue Pure 211+ reaches a maximum of 64 watts and is a slightly more powerful machine in terms of clean air supply rate (CADR).
If you want your home to alleviate allergy symptoms, especially during peak pollen season, another good trick with the Dyson Purifier Cool is to set up the machine to start operating remotely, all from the convenience of the machine's application. Fans of this air purifier were impressed by the quiet operation of this unit, but others were a little confused by the process of setting up this model. We created a series of tests to measure particles of different sizes, to see how each air purifier works with certain types of impurities. The air purifier also captures some bacteria and viruses and, with advanced activated carbon, the machine filters volatile organic compounds from the air. Nor have we found evidence that the fan operation of Dyson purifiers, as the company claims, makes them superior to other purifiers in distributing filtered air throughout the room. The Levoir Vital 200s is another great option for those looking for an effective yet affordable air purifier.
This model has a simple aesthetic and is designed for larger rooms up to 155 square feet. The Vesync app is easy to use and allows users to track their real-time air quality data and historical data, revealing poor air quality peaks throughout the day and eliminating the guesswork about the causes of poor air quality in their home. The Coway AirMega 250 is another popular model due to its high-end design and claims that it can capture 99.99% of fine particles in the air. We tested this model and found that it was able to remove pollen, pet dander, and other allergens from the air without causing a fuss or requiring much maintenance on your part. Overall, when shopping for an air purifier for allergies, it's important to consider size, power consumption, filter type (HEPA), and additional features such as remote control or real-time monitoring capabilities. With so many models on the market today, you're sure to find one that meets your needs.
