Top 10 Air Purifiers

2. De’Longhi Air Purifier with 4 Level Filtration and Ioniser - AC100

Small but mighty, the De’Longhi Air Purifier with 4 Level Filtration and Ioniser delivers exceptional performance thanks to its high quality ioniser and 4 levels of filtration, including anti-dust pre-filter, HEPA filter, and carbon filter.

It also has a choice of 3 fan speeds reaching a maximum sound level of 44dB(A), a touchscreen panel for complete control, and a timer function for ultimate reliability. What’s more, the unit will let you know when the HEPA and carbon filters need replacing.

At just 210mm high this unit doesn’t take up excessive space, so it can be discreetly used wherever you need it most. It is suitable for rooms up to 40m2 and on the maximum fan speed it moves 130m3 of air per hour.

4. Meaco Deluxe 202 Humidifier and Air Purifier - DELUXE202

Combine effective air purification with an ultrasonic humidifier thanks to the Meaco Deluxe 202 Humidifier and Air Purifier. This multifunctional unit can help you prevent dry skin, scratchy throats, and red eyes, reduce the risk of allergies and create a pleasant climate for animals, plants, wooden furniture, and musical instruments, especially during dry winter months.

The HEPA filter retains 97.3% of particles 0.3 microns in diameter, and the active charcoal filter removes unwanted odours (including cigarette smoke). The built in ioniser also helps to neutralise dust particles, making the air cleaner.

The added humidifying function is able to maintain healthy humidity levels in large rooms up to 65m2 with either warm or cool mist. And, so you’re not undoing all the hard work of the air purifier, an ultraviolet lamp cleans the water before it is dispersed into the room.

6. Vent-Axia PureAir Room X Air Purifier White Wi-Fi – 496612

If you like smart functionality without the price tag, the Vent-Axia PureAir Room X Air Purifier is the right choice. This multi-stage air cleaning system helps to provide fresh, clean air that is free from pollutants. Simply place in your chosen room up to 30m2 and 5 stages of filtration and purification do what they do best.

The washable pre-filter collects the largest particles. This increases the life of the HEPA filter by protecting it from these clog-causing particles. Next, the HEPA filter removes 99.9% of fine particulate matter from the air including pet allergens, pollen, viruses, mould, and bacteria. Following the HEPA filter, the activated carbon filter has a huge surface area that removes volatile organic compounds, odours, and other gas pollutants from the air. The cold catalyst filter speeds up the decomposition of organic compounds in the air, breaking them into molecules like H2O and CO2. Finally, Ultraviolet light uses short wavelength light to kill bacteria and viruses and sanitise the air around you.

8. Meaco AirVax Air Purifier in Black – AIRVAXBL

Another champion from Meaco, the Meaco AirVax took the phrase ‘small but mighty’ and ran with it. At just 29cm high it will fit nicely onto a coffee table, bedside cabinet, or office desk without taking up excess room. It represents an impressive leap forward in air purifier technology as it captures smaller particles than a standard HEPA filter and is exceptionally quiet.

10. Devola Grade 13 Replacement True HEPA Filter for Air Purifiers - DV150APH13

While it’s not an air purifier in itself, it’s important to replace your HEPA filter as often as the manufacturer of your unit recommends. That’s why the Devola Grade 13 Replacement True HEPA Filter deserves an honorary spot on this list. As a general rule of thumb, it’s recommended that you change the filter every 3-6 months depending on how often you use it. However, if you suffer with allergies, you may consider changing it more frequently (around every 30-60 days).
