Your home's air is more polluted than you think. Here are three best air purifiers I've tested
Winix, Shark and Dyson all make air purifiers that can improve the quality of air in your home – and they have great Prime Day discounts
TL;DR
- Home air quality can be impacted by pollen, smoke, pet dander, cooking fumes, and ground-level ozone.
- Key factors for an ideal air purifier include a pre-filter for hair, a HEPA or HEPA-like filter for fine particulates, and a carbon medium for odors.
- Air purifiers are rated for different square footage, ranging from personal space to entire floors.
- The Winix 5510 offers a pre-filter, carbon filter, real HEPA filter, and PlasmaWave feature for a 1,800 sq ft room, with smart features and a current low price.
- The Shark NeverChange features a long-lasting filter, a Febreze-like scent nebulizer, an air quality display, and includes pre-filters, an activated carbon layer, and a HEPA filter for a 300 sq ft room.
- The Dyson Purifier Hot+Cool HP1 combines fan, space heater, and air purifier functions, featuring oscillation, a carbon filter, a true HEPA H-13 filter, and a pre-filter.
- The Dyson Purifier Cool Gen1 TP10 is a more affordable Dyson option that purifies air and acts as a personal fan, lacking heating and smart features.
