Air Purifier Review Process
Each air purifier is grouped based upon its air purifying technology. There are many differences in how each air purifier cleans the air and these pages provide the information you need to make the best decision for you.
Here is a listing of each air purifier category:
- HEPA Air Purifier Reviews
- Electrostatic Air Cleaner Ratings
- 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 the most 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 for clean air.
About Our Review Process
The air purifiers on our site have been thoroughly reviewed with the primary test criteria being 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 air 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 best 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 review sections. We also considered the technologies and favored HEPA and UV over electrostatic purifiers. We hope you find our air purifier ratings beneficial and look forward to serving you with content that is informative and valuable.
