Tips For Buying An Air Purifier

By Pete Demuth


When our child was born, we began to think of the quality of air in our home for the first time. We have 2 felines and a puppy, and I was continuously vacuuming up pet fur from the carpeting and couches. Our doctor was a bit worried because my hubby has terrible allergies to pet dander. The doctor told us that we should check out purchasing an air cleanser to keep the air in our home clean for our newborn son.

Air purifiers have grown in popularity in the past couple of years. As a result, there are many different designs and brand names from which to choose. Air purifiers can be found in a wide range of sizes, with numerous different features. Some of the top-selling air purifiers are manufactured by companies like Friedrich, Blueair, and Honeywell.

Do I really need an air purifier?

Almost every house can benefit from setting up an air purification system. A great purifier will certainly eliminate allergens like dust, dander, and pollen from the air in your home. If you or a member of the family has allergies, an air cleanser can offer remarkable relief due to the fact that it will certainly remove numerous irritants. Air cleansers also do a terrific task eradicating strong smells from stogies or from food preparation.

We took a look at online testimonials to identify exactly what we needed in an air cleanser.

We came to a decision that a filter-less air cleanser was going to be easiest. With a newborn and three animals, we understood that it would be a good idea to obtain an air purifier that didn't require much upkeep. The model that we chose just needed that we plug it in.

A number of people opt for an air cleanser and air conditioner combo device. While we like the concept of purchasing a device that can perform 2 tasks, these systems require more upkeep. In particular, a combo system needs to have its filter changed or cleaned fairly frequently. When the unit is run routinely during the summertime, you may even need to clean the filter ever six to 8 weeks.

Another issue to consider is expense. Stand alone air purifiers usually cost approximately $300, however larger devices can cost up to $500. An air cleanser with a built-in a/c unit will cost you more and need the purchase of air filters. It is possible to find reusable filters, however, and that can save you money. Air conditioners with purifying systems will cost you upwards of $500.

Our last idea is to choose the warranty. We bought our system at Home Depot and they asked us if we wanted to get the warranty. It only cost $40 and it secures our investment for 3 years. We thought that was a pretty good offer.
