Air Purifier Review Process
Each air purifier is classified based upon its purifying technology. There are many differences in how each air purifier cleans the air and these pages provide the information you need to make an informed decision.
Here is a listing of each category:
- Electrostatic Air Cleaner Ratings
- HEPA Air Purifier Reviews
- Ionic Air Purifier Ratings
- Smoke Air Purifier Ratings
- UV Air Purifier Ratings
- Whole House Air Purifier Ratings
If you are unsure of where to start, we recommend the Air Purifier Comparison: Ratings of the Best Air Purifiers to see the air purifiers we rated as best overall. This listing is a summary of the air cleaners that received the highest grades in our testing as well as positive reviews from actual consumers. Leading agencies such as the EPA, American Lung Association and Department of Homeland Security favor HEPA based air purifiers and therefore the HEPA filters comprise most of the top rated purifier list.
In House Test Lab
The air purifiers on our site have been thoroughly reviewed by our engineers. The primary test criteria they measure are ease of use, air flow and filter efficiency. Ease of use describes the relative ease of operating the air purifier including general operation and the filter replacement process. The air flow is a measure of the amount of air that is effectively pushed through the air purifier and is one of the metrics used to determine the size of the room the air purifier can clean. The final measurement is the air filter efficiency which is a rating of the percentage of airborne particles that are removed by the air purifier with each air passage. The combination of these three metrics provides a strong foundation to rate air purifiers. Other considerations such as product quality, design and power consumption are factored into the air purifier ratings but they will mainly be found in the consumer reviews sections. The most popular sites that sell air purifiers as well as product review sites are reviewed on a monthly basis to get the latest feedback from consumers on their experiences with air purifiers. We hope you find our air purifier ratings beneficial and look forward to serving you with content that is informative and valuable.
