How do I choose an air purifier?

It can be overwhelming to pick a purifier amidst so many options in the market.

Here’s how to start

couch, furnitures, indoors

Know Your Room Size!

If you can get hold of a measuring tape, measure the length and breath of the room in feet. Multiply the two and you get the area in square feet (Sq.ft).

The ceilings are usually 8-9 feet in height.

if you can’t find a measuring tape, than eyeball it. A Toyota Corolla takes roughly 200 Sq.ft of space.

  • Look for an air purifier that’s good at filtering out pollutants specific to your home or health needs (removing pet dander or cigarette smoke, for example).
  • Compare CADR ratings, which show how effectively an air purifier filters specific pollutants.
  • Choose a device that uses a HEPA filter, the gold standard for indoor air purifiers.
  • Look at noise levels (listed in decibels) in product specs. Depending on where you’re using your air purifier, you may want a quieter device.
  • Calculate the air purifier’s ongoing maintenance and electricity costs so you can budget beyond your initial purchase.
  • Skip the bonus features, such as app integration, unless money is no object or convenience is high priority for you.
