What To Consider While Shopping For An Air Purifier
We test particles as small and as large as 0.1 millimeters or as big as 1 micrometer. This includes allergens like dust mites, cat allergens as well as pollution. We don't measure for particles greater than 1 micrometer, like pollen, because any air purifier that scores well in our tests should be able to deal with bigger airborne particles.

Replacement filters cost
As a general rule, you should replace filters (or clean those that are able to be vacuumed) every six to 12 months for pleated filters and each three months with activated carbon filters. Most of the units we test have an indicator light which lets you know when to change (or clean) the filter.
Certifications
It is worth paying careful attention to some labels on packaging. One of them is the Energy Star logo. Air purifiers must run around the clock in order to work You should also consider the cost of energy when shopping. Energy Star certified purifiers are 40% more efficient than the standard ones.
AHAM Verifide seals are also possible. This signifies that the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) has evaluated the design. Many air purifiers have undergone the voluntary certification process of AHAM, which provides high-quality air delivery rates (CADRs) as well as dimensions guidelines for the seal.
The CADR is the amount of clean, pure air that is produced by an air purifier at the highest speed setting. It is expressed in cubic feet per hour. A purifier that has the CADR 250 to remove dust particles will reduce dust levels to the same degree as if it added 250 cubic feet of pure water per minute. The greater the CADR the greater the speed and more efficient the purifier is. Room air purifiers that have HEPA filters usually have the most efficient CADR. A CADR above 240 is an Excellent rating. A CADR below of 240 is an A+ rating. 179 to 120, Good; and between 119 and 60, Fair. Anything below 60 gets a Poor rating.
There are three types of CADR ratings: dust tobacco smoke, and pollen. Focus on the CADR for the primary pollutant of concern. If you smoke or have an open fireplace An air purifier with an elevated CADR is more effective.
Room size
A AHAM Verifide seal indicates that the purifier's air quality is able to be relied upon to manage the recommended size of room. However, be wary of claims made by manufacturers. We have tested many air purifiers that are not suitable for their advertised room sizes. Based on our testing results we have compiled our ratings to determine the recommended space size for each model. Consider sizing up. The majority of models are suitable for larger rooms, however they can still be effective even at lower speeds. This is perfect for sleeping and watching TV.
Noise
It is not enough to assess an air purifier's performance based on its effectiveness, but also how simple it is to operate. Since these devices should always be operating, they must also be silent. You might be able to see the decibels an item is operating at on the packaging or web listing before you buy it. Check out our air purifier ratings; we rate models for noise levels in high-speed and low-speed settings.
Here are some more ways to cut down on the noise of an air purifier.
When you aren't in the room then turn the unit up to high speed and turn it down when you're. Buy an air purifier that's certified for a larger area which means that even at low speed, it filters more air.
