5. Devola Air Purifier with HEPA and Activated Carbon Filter with Feet

Brand new for 2022, the Devola Air Purifier with HEPA and Activated Carbon Filter has quickly risen the ranks to become one of our most popular air purifiers.

Wave goodbye to pet dander, dust, pollen, mould, bacteria, smoke, cooking smells, and harmful gas pollutants.

The indicator light informs you of the air quality of the room and when the unit is in automatic mode the purifier will alter the fan speed as per the level required for the quality of the air detected. For example, when the light shows blue the unit is in sleep mode as the air quality is very good, green means the air quality is good, amber means poor and red means low quality air. Depending on how hazardous the air is will determine how fast the fan runs in the automatic mode.

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.

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.

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).
