An easy-to-use air purifier can really purify harmful substances in the air. In recent years, the use of air purifiers has become more and more common. After all, air pollution is very serious in our lives, with haze, dust and smoke everywhere. And now many families use them at home with the aim of achieving the effect of clean air. So which air purifier is easy to use? And how should we choose an air purifier?

It can treat rooms up to 247 square feet with reliable 4-stage filtration including a pre filter, odor filter, HEPA filter, and ionizer. You can easily operate this air purifier with its intuitive touch controls. It’ s programmed with a number of smart features including an air quality indicator, Eco-mode, and a timer, also this purifier is ENERGY star rated.
This Coway HEPA air purifier is the best air purifier I have used in many years. It has the functions of removing VOC, removing pollen, removing particles, removing smoke and dust, sterilizing, and removing smog. It can effectively remove indoor PM2.5 and formaldehyde and other pollutants, providing comprehensive protection for your family’s respiratory health.
What do you need to consider when purchasing an air purifier?
- Purification technology
Consumers should choose air purifiers that apply three types of technologies: physical filtration, chemical decomposition filtration, and ion technology. Physical filtration technology is the first choice. In order to ensure the purification effect, try to choose an air purifier that uses multiple purification technologies, but avoid choosing an air purifier that uses electrostatic dust collection technology.
- Filter material
Different filter materials have vastly different purification effects. The higher the grade of the HEPA net, the smaller the diameter of the particles that can be filtered, and the better the filtering effect. At present, the HEPA filter made of antimicrobial peptide material has a very high purification efficiency.
- Clean air volume
An air purifier with a larger clean air capacity (CADR) has a larger purification area and more purification cycles. The international standard is 5 cycles per hour. When purchasing, it is necessary to consider whether the clean area of the air purifier matches the room area, and try to purchase an air purifier with a large amount of clean air.
- Real-time display of PM2.5 value
Some air purifiers on the market cannot display the specific data of PM2.5 in the air, and some can be roughly displayed as “excellent, good, medium, and poor”. There are very few high-end air purifiers that can display real-time precise value of PM2.5 in the air, so the users can intuitively see the change of the indoor air quality.
- Body structure
At present, the air inlet and outlet methods of the air purifier are mainly divided into:
- Air in from the back and out in the front: This way is easy to blow up the dust on the floor and aggravate the dust in the indoor air.
- Air intake from the bottom or rear and air outlet from the top: This method can suck the dust on the floor into the air purifier and purify it, and then blow out fresh air from above, playing the role of “cleaning the floor”, especially If you have a baby at home, the baby likes to crawl on the floor, so you need to pay more attention to the hygiene of the floor.
- Safety and prevention of secondary pollution
Air purifiers using electrostatic dust removal and pure negative ion technology will produce ozone, which is often said to be the problem of secondary pollution of air purifiers. A certain amount of ozone can kill bacteria and viruses, and decompose gaseous pollutants, but excessive ozone is harmful to the body, affecting the lungs, causing asthma, and can cause cancer in severe cases. Currently, the safest and most efficient technologies are HEPA net technology and activated carbon technology. Both electrostatic precipitator and pure ion technology will produce ozone, so you should choose an air purifier with HEPA filter and activated carbon technology when purchasing.
- Noise problem
The noise is a problem that is often encountered in the use of air purifiers. When purchasing, the noise problem should be mainly considered from the following three aspects: whether the sleep mode can really achieve ultra-quiet? Is the noise at maximum volume tolerable? Is the noise in Auto mode acceptable? Some air purifiers use DC brushless ultra-quiet motor and additional silent cotton technology, which can effectively reduce noise.
Conclusion
There are many brands and models of air purifiers on the market now. Before you purchase, it is better to understand them clearly and know what to pay attention to before buying. Hope this guide will be helpful to you.
