Everyone wants to breathe in clean air, and for some allergy and asthma sufferers air purifiers are an absolute must. Here are some tips on where to find air purifier reviews and how to find the top air purifiers.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Internet
  1. Step 1

    Depending on what kind of health issues you have and what type of irritants bother you the most, different people will need different types of air purifiers. Luckily there are air purifiers designed specifically for removing smoke, removing mold, or removing allergens in general.

  2. Step 2

    If you are like me, you'll want to search air purifier ratings. The best place I have found with some very honest and extensive reviews of air purifiers is allergybuyersclub, and I will put their link in the resources below. The site does a great job of reviewing air purifiers from every category and rating them from top to bottom. The site also allows you to search by category, brand name, or price.

  3. Step 3
    Stop the constant sneezing

    What are the top names in air purifying? IQAir and BlueAir are often mentioned as the top air purifiers, but both are not too cheap, especially IQAir purifiers. IQAir purifiers are terrific for those who have severe asthma, but may be overkill if you have mild allergies.

  4. Step 4

    Remember to factor in the maintenance of the air purifier when making your decision. Almost all air purifiers require a new air purifier filter every so often, but some are much more expensive and have to be changed more often than others.

  5. Step 5

    Finally, if you are looking for the top air purifier remember to make sure that the air purifier you are buying is an HEPA air purifier. A HEPA is a specific type of filter that is very highly efficient and can remove over 99.9% of even the smallest airborne particles.

Tips & Warnings
  • Air purifiers must be taken care of properly or they will not be nearly as efficient in the long run.
  • Use larger air purifiers in large rooms, don't waste a large purifier on a small bedroom.
  • Be careful about reading air purifier reviews from a company that is just pushing their own product!
