The 10 Best Air Purifiers for Home

We’re not sure whether it’s the dryness of the winter air of the fact that we life in a sightly older home, but we’ve been feeling the need to improve the air quality in our bedroom lately. We’ve definitely decided on the idea to invest in an air purifier, but we wanted to make sure we understood all our options and potential features before we settled on which one!

Being the DIY enthusiasts and avid researchers we are, we decided to do a little bit of online investigating, just to make sure we’re really happy with our purchase in the end. By the time we’d finished bookmarking everything we liked, we realized we’d basically already accidentally compiled a recommendations list of the best options, so we figured we’d might as well share it for others to see too! Check out these 10 great air purifiers that we came across in our search.

1. Guardian Technologies Germ Guardian True HEPA Filter Air Purifier

Are you primarily looking for an air purifier that will help you reduce the things in the air that you’re allergic to, since you let the kids get a cat recently even though they make you sneeze? Then we’d definitely suggest taking a look at this model from Guardian Techologies.

This design is a 3-in-1 model that kills germs, traps allergens, and (perhaps most importantly, if you ask us) reduces odours. It was also built to operate extra quietly so that you can run it at night while you’re sleeping without having it wake you up. Just in case your allergies have been feeling a little extra bad, it’s got three settings so you can adjust it to what you really need.

2. Winix 5500-2 Air Purifier

Do you like the idea of a machine that can be adjusted but you’re also the kind of very busy person who will probably forget to adjust the settings yourself? Then we’d definitely suggest taking a look at this alternative design from Winix!

Besides the super easy-to-clean filter it’s got inside (in addition to a lifetime guarantee inner filter), perhaps the best part of this particular model is the fact that it’s got an auto-mode you can rely on! This part senses the air quality around the machine and adjust itself accordingly, taking care of of your allergens for you.

3. RabbitAir MinusA2 Ultra Quiet HEPA Air Purifier

Do you actually live in a very small apartment indeed so you’re worried some of the larger air purifier designs might take up a little too much space? Then perhaps you’d have a little more luck with a slightly more space efficient design like this one from RabbitAir!

Besides being sleek and thin in order to fit better in small spaces, this model also boasts one of the most impressive warranties we saw in our whole search. Just in case something goes wrong, the brand offers you a full five year warranty on the whole product and all its pieces. Did we mention that you can even mount it to the wall if you need to?

Are you the kind of person who loves to make sure you’re always choosing the greenest and most power efficient option whenever you’re buying a new electronic device for your home? Then perhaps this cylindrical model from Levoit is the one for you!

In addition to being another machine that’s extra quiet, letting you purify all night if you want to, this model is also specifically designed to create extra impressive air flow, pulling in the air riddled with allergens in and releasing it light, fresh, and disturbance free. It does so, however, in a way that’s deemed low impact and green.

Did you really love the idea of getting a much smaller air purifier than some of the designs you’ve seen so far but you’re looking for an option that’s slightly more affordable than the previous smaller model we showed you? Then perhaps you’d prefer to check out this design from Coway!

In addition to its sleek shape and space efficient size, this impressive little machine has a very effective four filter system, which is more filters than some models twice its size have. These are simple to clean and easy to re-install, making it quite intuitive.

6. Honeywell True HEPA Allergen Air Purifier

Have you actually been on the lookout for a much larger design because the space you’re trying to freshen up is much larger than just a bedroom or living room, like an office or a whole pool house? Then we think you simply must check out this extra large air purifier from Honeywell!

The beauty of this design is that it has the added power to much more effectively move the air around a large space than a smaller design (or a combination of multiple smaller machines). Additionally, this machine is built with technology that is specifically designed to actually improve overall air quality rather than just filtering dust from the same air and moving it slowly onward.

7. Winix AM90 Wi-Fi Air Purifier

Have you gone to great lengths to build an impressive, modern aesthetic throughout your home that you’d rather not interrupt by placing a clunky black machine in the middle of the room? Then perhaps you’d prefer this lovely, white, and sleekly modern design created by Winix!

Perhaps the most alluring part of this model is the fact that it’s wifi connectable! By linking this purifier to your internet network, you can also link it to your Alexa system so that it turns on and off on voice command or adjusts itself on a timer even if you’re not there to turn it on, up, down, or off yourself. It’s ultra convenient!

8. Germ Guardian High CADR True HEPA Filter Air Purifier

Are you actually so air sensitive that you’ve often joked that you wish you could just carry an air purifier with you at all times, no matter where you go? Well, thanks to Guardian Technologies, you actually can!

This impressive (though admittedly slightly pricey) model is actually portable and even comes with its own convenient carrying handle. Despite its small size (it has to be light if you’re going to carry it around, after all), it still has a clear, powerful air circulation that’s easily comparable to most of the larger models you’ve seen here (except the extra large one, of course).

If you’re being fully honest, are you just about as concerned with the way your air purifier looks as you are with the way it functions, so long as it functions very well indeed? Then we think you might get along best with what Alen has to offer!

This sleek little air purifier comes in a whole range of modern looking metallic colours that will suit essentially any decor scheme. Of course, its aesthetic value isn’t the only great thing about it. It also has laser sensor technology that auto-detects contaminated air particles if you turn on auto-mode, plus it has a lifetime warranty!

Are you still considering your options when it comes to smaller air purifier designs because you’re not feeling quite sold on the models you’ve seen so far? Then perhaps you’d consider a design that’s meant to be kid-friendly, like this one from PARTU!

Besides just being small, this particular purifier also boasts several other features that make it great for using in a child’s room. Its display is pictorial and intuitive while its sound is just about as near-silent as you’ll find essentially anywhere. It also has a lovely night light setting where you can select from a series of calming glows.
