How to Buy the Best Large Room Air Purifier

1. Types of Filters

Because the filter is what will do the actual filtration, it should be one of the first things that you consider when shopping for the best air purifier for large rooms. There are different types available and each will be ideal for different situations.

HEPA Filters

HEPA filters are the most commonly used of the 5 common types and most modern purifiers will include them as part of their multi-stage filtration systems. What makes these filters popular is that they will trap the widest range of contaminants, from dust and allergens to visible smoke and bacteria.

Ionizers

Ionizers will work by emitting some negatively charged ions that will then latch on the contaminants. This makes the contaminants easy to sack out and also causes them to fall to the ground as they become heavier. The purpose of the filter is to knock out the contaminants from the air.

Ozone Generators

The ozone generators will create ozone in the room, which then seeks out the contaminants, and hence purifying the air. While these machines are still effective enough at air purification, they have some health concerns and are hence not very common.

UV Light Air Purifiers

UV air purifiers are the most effective at removing living organisms from the air in the room. They can kill everything from viruses to bacteria. With these purifiers, you get clean and sterile air, and they are also quite durable as most will last thousands of hours. However, they are not very effective for non-microorganism contaminants.

Activated Carbon Filters

Activated carbon filters come second only to HEPA when in terms of popularity. These filters will use activated carbon to trap fumes, odors, and gases to ensure your air smells clean and fresh. Their only drawback is that they are not good for removing non-gaseous particles in the air.

2. Coverage Area

Any purifier that you choose needs to be able to cover the space that you have. Hence, you should not just settle for something just because it is meant for larger rooms.

By considering the size of the room you intend to use the unit in, you should be able to choose a model that will provide adequate coverage for you.

Most will cover an area of between 500 and 2,000 square feet, and so there is something for everyone out there, and you just need to choose what works best for you.

3. Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR)

The CADR measures how well the purifier can clean the air in particular room size. Many purifiers will indicate it in their description to give you a way of comparing the effectiveness of the device with others.

A high CADR means that the purifier will clean the air in the room more times every hour. Hence, the larger the room the higher the clean air delivery rate that you will need.

Something with a 350 cubic feet/minute CADR like the Blueair Pure 121 should be good for a standard size room, but if you have a larger room you will need a little more than this.

4. Energy Efficiency

Since you will often need to run the purifier for several hours every day, it is important to make sure that the model you choose uses less energy to keep your electricity bills down.

Typical air purifiers will use anything 5 to 200 watts, and so you can be sure there is something out there for you. But, to make sure that get an energy-efficient device, you need to make sure what you buy has an energy star rating.

5. Speed Settings

Being able to adjust the speed on your air purifier will ensure you can customize the performance to suit your specific situation.

Something with at least 3-speed settings like the Blueair Pure 121 is often good enough, but if you can get even more than this, the better as the machine will be more customizable.

6. Noise Level

Air purifiers will always pair their HEPA or carbon filters with a fan mechanism for circulating the purified air. Like any other fan type, these fans can be quite loud, and hence making the appliance quite noisy.

That said, the noise level varies from one model to the other as some will be loud and others whisper quiet.

Therefore, as you choose one of these machines, you need to check the noise level, and if you are planning to use it in your bedroom, go for something with a low noise rating (under 50 dBA).

7. Maintenance

You will also need to keep the maintenance in mind when shopping for the best large room air purifier. And here you need to check both the cost of maintenance and how easy it will be for you.

Models that use HEPA and activated carbon filters will require you to change the filters. To make sure the unit will be cheap to maintain for you, it is important to check the cost of the filters and how often they will need replacement.

A model that is easy to take apart for cleaning and filter replacement will also make maintenance more effortless for you.

Conclusion

Purifying the air in large rooms does not have to be complicated with a good machine to help you out. And with our reviews of the best large room air purifiers above, finding it should be easy now.
