Don't make these air purifier mistakes

So you're serious about buying an air purifier? That's great!

Clean air is vital for our health and well-being. But with so many options available, it can be hard to know where to start.

Here are the top 3 mistakes you want to avoid when shopping for an air filter:

1. Take your room size into account. Many manufacturers claim that their unit can cover a certain area, but these numbers can be inaccurate. For example, there may be fine print that states a unit can only perform one air change per hour in such a room size, or the unit has to be in the middle of the room, or the ceiling can only be so high, etc. We recommend using the advertised number as a general idea of how much space it can cover and also consider the ceiling height and the position of the air purifier in the room. For large spaces, it's usually better to buy multiple smaller units than a single larger unit, as this will provide multiple points of filtration.
But it’s also worth nothing that a single unit CAN purify a room given it has enough time and there’s no airflow besides the purifier.
2. Don't overlook cleaning and replacement considerations. Each unit has different cleaning and filter replacement schedules, and some have filters that last several years, while others require manual cleaning and buying of replacements every few months. The higher initial cost sometimes makes up for the long-term cost, so be sure to take this into consideration.
3. Pay attention to the amount of carbon in the air purifier. The amount of activated carbon determines whether any given air purifier can practically filter out smells, smoke, and VOCs. Most low-end units include a very small amount that won't actually make a difference. Carbon typically saturates faster than HEPA filters, so the ones with a small amount of it become entirely useless for gas filtration within a short period of time.

By avoiding these common mistakes, you can be confident that you're getting the best air purifier for your needs.

Happy shopping!

Here's a study by the California Air Resources board that shows ozone generated by air purifiers can harm in cells in the lungs respiratory airways:

Also here are two other EPA resources:

Which air purifier should I buy for my bedroom? I would appreciate the help/recommendation!

The UV isn’t meant to kill the mild spores passing through, it’s meant to kill the ones sitting trapped in the hepa filter.

Excellent to the point. Very useful. Thank you

I’m thinking of getting the filterqueen defender. Any feedbacks?

I’m buying a filter for the first time. The brand is Levoit, which I’ve enjoyed their humidifier. This is what they say about the filter system: “3-Stage Filtration: The Nylon Pre-Filter traps large particles, the H13 True HEPA Filter removes at least 99.97% of airborne particles 0.3 microns in size, and the High-Efficiency Activated Carbon Filter helps neutralize smoke, odors, and fumes.”. It sounds good with the HEPA and carbon filter…but I don’t really know. It also doesn’t describe anything about UV and Ions. I mainly want this to remove dust particles in the air.

Also, our air quality is horrible right now, reading 198 so opening the windows is not recommended at this time

ACTUALLY: I am a person more sensitive to dry air caused by overcharged AC or Dehumidifiers. I have an Air oasis unit and been using it for years. It puts out negative ions. It doesn't make it too dry for me, and also it smells very very mildly of ozone if you put your nose ontop of it. Otherwise from a couple feet away you're fine and it's not toxic! Just sharing. I love Air Oasis.

Good evening from Puerto Rico. I just purchased the -Alen BreatheSmart FLEX True HEPA Air Purifier-… it’s mainly for pet dander and improve air quality overall- would you recommend it?

[dizzywehby]

I just bought the Winix 5500-2 air purifier- is this unit good?

[dondeliver]

ozone is not produced in any harmful levels by air purifiers. You get 100x the ozone after a thunder storm.

[tackmerci]

Thanks for the video. The filters are usually expensive, is there any way to make them ? I have 3 air purifier at home and the filter replacements are expensive.

[shumangurung]

I just bought a Mi BHR5101EN Smart Air Purifier 4. Is that good? There is construction going outside my house and a lot of the dust is coming. There seems to be a negative air ionisation function. But I can turn it off maybe?

Theres a store here selling 2 air purifier for $165. it’s called Toshiba Air Purifier CAF-Y33XBH, but what I’ve seen was it had an ion filter button and I don’t know if I should buy it. What are your thoughts on this?
