The Best Air Purifiers - 3 Features To Check

Written on August 3, 2008

The best air purifiers on the market today have many features that have made them rise to the top in the market place. Here are the top three features that you should check before buying an air purifier. Whether you need an air purifier for allergy, asthma, or just want cleaner air to breathe; checking for these features before you buy will ensure that the air purifier you purchase really is the best air purifier for you.

  • 1. Look for an air purifier that does not produce ozone as a by-product. Some electrostatic air purifiers do emit ozone, and claim that it is not harmful. But, according to the American Lung Association, ozone is dangerous to people and the environment, and can produce lung damage, respiratory disease, and is responsible for outdoor smog when it reacts with sunlight. The state of California plans to ban the sale of home air purifiers that produce ozone by 2009!

    • 2. The most efficient air purifiers are high efficiency particle arresting purifiers (HEPA) that remove 99.97% of airborne pollutants that are bigger than .3 microns, and some even take out pollutants that are bigger than even .1 micron in size. If your air purifier is to be effective in removing allergy and asthma triggers, and pollutants such as dust, dust mites, pet dander, mold and mildew spores, bacteria, and viruses, the HEPA filter is crucial.

      • 3. Air purifiers that have a substantial warranty period are the most likely to last. If the manufacturer really believes that their product will stand the test of time, they will proudly display their warranty period. The best air purifiers have a 5 year warranty, or a prorated filter warranty, and some even have a 10 year warranty period!

        • Buying an air purifier for you and your family is great way to insure that your family is breathing the freshest, cleanest air possible. Checking for no ozone, a HEPA filter, and a good warranty will assure that you bring home the best air purifier for you.
