When is it worth using an air purifier at home?
Many people think that an air purifier is only needed by allergy sufferers or those who live in highly polluted environments. However, clean air should be important for everyone. Even if the air looks “clean,” it may contain dust, mold spores, bacteria, odors, or even harmful chemical particles.
An air purifier can help solve these problems and create a healthier environment at home. It is especially useful in the following cases:
- You or family members suffer from allergiescaused by pollen, dust mites, animal dander or mold;
- You live in a city or industrial area, where air quality is often poor;
- You want to reduce the risk of contracting viral respiratory diseases – flu, cold or COVID-19;
- You heat your house with solid fuel. or a fireplace and you want to avoid exposure to smoke;
- Smoke in or near the home – an air purifier helps protect against passive smoking;
- Just you want to breathe cleaner, healthier air daily.
If you are buying such a device for the first time, you may have questions about where to start. Below we will discuss, What is important to consider when choosing an air purifier?so that the choice is not only correct, but also beneficial in the long run.
How do air purifiers work?
For an air purifier to do its job effectively, it has one main task: to remove pollutants from the environment and return cleaner air to the room. This is done using a simple but effective principle.
The purifier has a fan that sucks in ambient air, passes it through one or more filters, and blows the cleaned air back into the room. Filters trap various unwanted elements - dust particles, allergens, bacteria, viruses, odors, animal dander and other airborne pollutants. In higher-quality models, the air can be cleaned in several stages - thus ensuring even greater protection against harmful substances.
Modern air purifiers are not only efficient, but they are also receiving increasing positive reviews for their effectiveness in reducing airborne pollutants.
Types of air purifiers by purpose
There are various types of air purifiers on the market, from simple devices for everyday use to specialized solutions for offices or industry. The main types are:
- Air purifiers for homes and offices. Compact, easily portable units, usually equipped with HEPA or carbon filters, are suitable for everyday use in residential or work spaces.

Air purifier filter types and technologies
When choosing an air purifier, it is very important to consider the filtration technology used. Different filters have different operating principles and efficiencies.
Air purifiers with HEPA filter
This one of the most efficient filters, capable of retaining up to 99.97% of fine particles, which are 0.01 microns or larger in size. HEPA filters are effective at removing pollen, mold spores, bacteria, viruses, and other allergens. This is often emphasized in reviews of these air purifiers, especially from people who suffer from allergies.
The best air purifiers often come with HEPA filters and additional technologies like UV light or ionization. Additionally, these filters are widely certified, ensuring reliable results.
Air purifiers with activated carbon filter
Activated carbon is distinguished by its porous structure, which allows it to absorb odors, chemical pollutants, and volatile organic compounds extremely effectively. Such filters are particularly useful for neutralizing smoke, food production odors, or household chemicals.
Although they are not as effective at removing dust or bacteria as HEPA filters, they are a great complement to other filtration systems and help create a more pleasant environment.
Air purifiers with ionization
Ionizers purify the air using negative ions, also known as anions. These ions attach to small particles in the air, such as dust, pollen, or smoke, making them heavier so that they settle on surfaces and do not enter the respiratory tract.
Reviews of air ionizers show that this technology is especially appreciated by allergy sufferers and those who live in cities where there are many fine particles in the air.
Air purifiers with UV sterilization and photocatalysis
Some air purifiers have additional air purification technologies, such as UV-C sterilization and photocatalysis. Both of these features help to destroy microorganisms and chemical pollutants even more effectively.
UV-C rays kills viruses, bacteria and other pathogenic microorganisms by damaging their DNA. This technology has been used in medical institutions for a long time, and is now increasingly found in household appliances. It is most often combined with a HEPA filter - particles in the air are first captured and then sterilized to make the air as clean as possible.
Photocatalysis is a light-initiated chemical reaction that breaks down harmful particles, such as cleaning agent fumes or volatile organic compounds, into harmless substances, such as carbon dioxide or water. This technology is especially useful in rooms where chemicals are frequently used or unpleasant odors are present.
These additional technologies do not replace the main filters, but they effectively complement the performance of air purifiers and help ensure even higher air quality - this is often emphasized in user reviews.

So, how do you choose the best air purifier? There are a lot of options on the market. To make sure you don't make a mistake, it's worth considering several important aspects: room size, noise level, filter type, maintenance costs, and additional features.
The model you choose should be suitable for your living or working environment, not just the most popular.
Room size
Be sure to consider the size of the room the air purifier is designed for. A smaller purifier will suffice for rooms up to 20 sq m, while a more powerful device will be needed for spaces 40 sq m and larger.
By the way, It is always recommended to choose a cleaner designed for slightly larger rooms.: it will clean the air faster, it won't have to work at full capacity.
In a small 1-2-room apartment, one air purifier may be enough, but in a house, especially a two-story one, we recommend using more than one air purifier.
Noise emitted by the air purifier
The noise level is one of the most important criteria, especially if the air purifier will be used in a bedroom or children's room. The noise level depends on the design of the device, the fan speed and the type of filters.
Indicative noise levels (dB):
- 30–45 dB – quiet operation (suitable for bedrooms, work or children's rooms);
- 50–60 dB – average sound (suitable for living rooms, kitchens, etc.);
- 61–70 dB and above – usually industrial cleaners.
If you are going to use an air purifier in your bedroom, then be sure to look for a quieter device. And if you live in an area with very polluted air, it is best to use the air purifier continuously, i.e. 24 hours a day, so it is also important that the purifier operates quietly.
Price and maintenance costs
Air purifier prices can vary greatly, from simple models costing a few dozen euros to advanced, multi-level filtration devices costing several hundred or even more than a thousand euros. The final price is determined by the following main factors:
- Type. The simplest mechanical purifiers are the cheapest. More expensive are electric or smart models. The most expensive are multifunctional purifiers that have several types of filters, UV, ionization, or air quality sensors.
- Filtration technologies. The more complex the system (e.g. HEPA + UV + carbon filter), the more expensive the device.
- Power and room size. Larger spaces require more powerful air purifiers with higher airflow – they cost more.
- Additional features. Smart control (Wi-Fi), real-time air quality measurement, silent mode, screen off - all of this affects the price.
- Manufacturer. Wipers from well-known brands often cost more because manufacturers invest in research, quality, and warranties.
- Energy efficiency and noise level. Quieter and more economical models may cost more, but they pay for themselves in the long run due to lower costs.
Changing filters
Most air purifiers require filters to be replaced at least once a year, and more often for heavily used ones. Some of the more expensive filters are washable, but most are disposable.
To make it easier to plan costs, purifiers often come with a filter life time – it is indicated in hours (for example, 2200 hours). The longer the service life, the less often the filter will need to be replaced and the lower the maintenance costs.
So, before purchasing an air purifier, consider not only the price of the device itself, but also how much it will cost to replace the filters and how often they will need to be replaced. This is especially important if you plan to use the air purifier daily or 24/7.
Electricity consumption
To estimate how much it will cost to use an air purifier, pay attention to the device's power (W) indicated in the technical specifications and how many hours per day it will be turned on.
The general principle is simple: the smaller the room the purifier is designed for, the less electricity it uses. On average, electricity bills can increase by up to 5 EUR per month, but a more accurate prediction can be made using the following examples:
- Compact wipers (20-40 W), used about 8 hours a day – 1–2 EUR/month;
- More powerful models (up to 100 W), operating continuously (24/7) – 5–10 EUR/month.
Before buying, it's worth considering how long you plan to use the device - this will help you better assess the overall operating costs.
Additional features
Before choosing, it's worth considering which features you really need and which ones would just be nice extras. More features mean a higher price, so it's worth considering rationally.
The most common functions:
- Phone control via Wi-Fi (app);
- Remote control;
- Filter replacement indicators;
- Ability to turn off or dim the screen;
- Real-time air quality monitoring and automatic operation mode change;
- Casters – for easier movement of the device.
