How to choose an air purifier for the home

The air purifiers are designed to eliminate unpleasant odors, tobacco smoke, dust and bacteria in the room. Some models are equipped with an additional air flavor, humidifier, and ionizer. These air cleaners not only make the air cleaner, they also moisten it, carry out a bactericidal treatment and have a relaxing effect. How to choose a cleaner that faces the maximum air pollution and at the same time does not make much noise?

Before buying an air purifier, decide: for what room you want to buy it, what is the area of the room. When operating the device in a single room, choose clearly according to the size. If you are transferring from one room to another, calculate the area of the largest room.

The choice of the air filter is also influenced by the problems that this device will solve. HEPA filters provide a high degree of purification even of microscopic particles, so they are excellent at preventing allergies. Devices with electrostatic filters remove 90% of dust, but smaller dust particles fly by. The ionizers precipitate the dust, eliminate a maximum of allergens, and improve the general state of the body. The ozonizers decompose toxic substances, eliminate odors, and disinfect the air. Photocatalytic air purifiers are the most effective in eliminating tobacco smoke.

Air filters with filters have a maximum degree of air purification, but require additional maintenance costs. Devices less expensive filter: ozonizers, air washing, ionizers, electrostatic, photocatalytic cleaners.

Air purifiers can clean the air in rooms of 4 to 200 square meters. The bigger the room, the more powerful the device must be. Powerful cleaners consume a lot of energy, so for a small room you should not buy high-power appliances.

According to the type of control the air purifiers are divided into electronic and mechanical. The last type of model is economical and has two controls for the regulation: a timer and the mode configuration. With the help of electronic control, you can change the steam flow, adjust the position of the nozzle, and choose the offline modes.

In the maximum performance mode the air purifiers are quite noisy. Therefore, some models have a night mode. Ionizers, photocatalytic air purifiers work silently in any mode.

There are many manufacturers of this equipment in the market. The most popular were the air purifiers of Electrolux, Boneco, Daikin, Venta. The Japanese company Daikin produces models that deal with any contamination and allergens. Electrolux sinks combine cleaning and gentle air humidification. And Boneco devices, equipped with anti-allergic HEPA filter, eliminate tobacco smoke, harmful gases and ionize the air.

A good high quality air filter should include several modern filters: photocatalytic, HEPA filter and carbon. This set provides an efficient purification of air from all types of contamination.
