Top 15 Best Air Purifier for Home Reviews

1. Bissell Air400 Air Purifier

Top Specs

• Dimensions: 13 x 9.75 x 24 inches
• Weight: 22.82 pounds
• Room coverage: 400-500 square feet.
• Filters: 3
• Editor ratings: 7.5 out of 10

Our analysis

The Bissell Air400 air purifier is the first in our list of best air purifier for home. It uses a simple 3-stage air filtration system that includes Pre-filter, HEPA filter, an activated carbon filter.

It is has quite good amount of coverage for an air purifier for home. It works best in a room of about 300-400 sq. ft. However, its manufacturer claim that it can be used to clean a large room of 1200 sq. ft. too. But I wouldn’t recommend that as it is excessive pressure on the machine. And even it is able to clean such big room, it will take about an hour to do so. Whereas, it can clean a medium room up to 3 times in the same time.

This air purifier has five fan speeds and a powerful brushless DC motor. It also has a great control panel with auto mode, night mode, timer, 5 speed fan and a sensor that detects the presence of pollutants in the air. Remember when I said that it can clean a room 3X in an hour, well, you need to run it in the highest speed setting to reach up to that point. And I got to say, although it is quiet in the lower speed settings, it is not the same case in the highest setting too. Because, it is not quiet but a lot noisy in the highest setting.

2. Bissell Air320 Air Purifier

Top Specs

• Dimensions: 8.3 x 14.75 x 25 inches
• Weight: 18.25 pounds
• Room coverage: 320-1000 square feet.
• Filters: 3
• Editor ratings: 8 out of 10

Our analysis

Bissell Air320 is another great air purifier for home offered by Bissel. Its features and working capability is almost similar to that of the Bissel Air400. But if we are to compare them then I got to say that the Air320 is a weaker version of the Air 400. But hey, it is still one of the best of its class.

This air purifier also has 3-stage air cleaning system and it is 100% ozone-free. Its filters include a fabric pre-filter, HEPA filter, an activated carbon filter. As there are no ionizer or UV-sanitizer is present in this device, there is no possible way of producing ozone by it.

They say that the Bissel Air320 can purify a room of 1000 sq. ft. Well, that is not wrong actually. But it can clean that big room by taking a full hour. But its optimal room coverage is 320 sq. ft. And as its ACH is 3 so it can clean this type of medium size room three times in an hour.

This air purifier also has some great sensors, night mode, automatic fan speed, air quality indicating LED and many other features for the user’s convenience. And you should know that there are five speed settings in it. But the problem is that it is loud when operated in a high speed settings.

3. Medify MA-112 Air Purifier

Top Specs

• Dimensions: 28 x 16 x 15 inches
• Weight: 33.5 pounds
• Room coverage: 3700 square feet
• Filters: 4
• Editor ratings: 9 out of 10

Our analysis

The Medify MA-112 is truly one of the strongest & best air purifier for home. Well, not just for home. It can be used in any small, medium or large place such as a whole open office or a big conference room or anywhere indoor not bigger than 3700 sq. ft.

YES! 3700 sq. ft. is it highest range of cleaning. The CADR rating of this air purifier is very high. Or you can even say highest. The total CADR rating of pollen, dust & smoke together is 950 CFM. As a result, it can clean a room starting from 1200 sq. ft. 4X in an hour to a room of 3700 sq. ft. 1X in an hour.

Now you might be wondering that is it truly going to work for such big rooms. So I have to say that it absolutely can. There are four levels of filter in it. They include a pre-filter, a H13 True HEPA filter, an activated charcoal filter & a separate ionizer. Now the thing is, a normal True HEPA can filter out 99.97% of micro-particles of up to 0.3 microns. But a H13 True filter can filter 99.9% of up to 0.1 microns. So now you guess the efficiency. It has high CADR, large coverage, excellent filters, and what do you want more?

Well, there are much more. But simply I’ll say, it has a rich control panel many automated features & modes.

However, as it is has strong fan, it makes sound, a lot actually. And it’s expected to make sound as the range is so big. But it also has very short filter life. And the replacing filters are expensive too. And this is a short coming which is not affordable for everyone.

4. Medify MA-40 Air Purifier

Top Specs

• Model: Medify MA-40
• Dimensions: 10.5 x 11 x 26 inches
• Weight: 15 pounds
• Room Coverage: 1600 square feet.
• Filters: 4
• Editor ratings: 8.5 out of 10

Our analysis

Well, the MA-40W might not be as good as the MA-112 of Medify from the perspective of room coverage, but it is still one of the best of its line. You can take it as a smaller version of the strong MA-112.

Because, the MA-40W is not for very large rooms but up to 1600 sq. ft. But I would recommend using this air purifier in a room not more than 840 sq. ft. Because you will get the optimal performance within this range.

The main reason behind its strength is being similar to its larger counterpart is its H13 True HEPA air purifier. It has the same filters as the MA-112. First the per-filter, then the best H13 True HEPA filter, the activated carbon filter and at last, the ionizer.

After all these things, you will have a smart control panel with this air purifier that has timer, variable speed settings, a manual switch for the ionizer, child lock and etc. other features.

These were just the good parts. It also has some limitations. Just like the previous “big guy”, this one also have expensive filter. And they also have very short life if we compare with the other filters in the market.

5. Rabbit Air MinusA2 Air Purifier

Top Specs

• Model Number: SPA-780A
• Dimensions: 24 x 22.75 x 10 inches
• Weight: 19.4 pounds
• Filters: 6
• Room coverage: 815 square feet
• Ratings: 8 out of 10

Our analysis

If you are looking for such an air purifier that is excels at cleaning your big room staying stable at a place then this is a top choice for you. Because this air purifier is ideal for operating in the large rooms. It has two types of mounting options. You can either just keep it anywhere as it is or you can also mount it on the wall. However, if you fit it on the wall than you will lose portability of the machine.

In this air purifier, there are 6 different types of filters are used which can give a great protection against the micro particles. Its 6 stage filters include the pre-filter, medium filter, BioGS HEPA filter, customized filter, charcoal based activated carbon filter and lastly an ionizer respectively. Here, you will get to choose from germ defense, toxin absorber, pet allergy and odor removing filter as your customized filter (this one is an odor remover air cleaner).

The optimum range of this air purifier is up to 815 sq. ft. But due to its low CADR, it sweeps the room slowly. It can clean big rooms twice an hour or more in smaller spaces.

In comparison to some other big air purifiers, this one makes much less noise. Even at the highest level, it creates sound of 51.3 db.

Finally, it can be controlled manually or also by the remote or via Wi-Fi connection at your home.

6. Rabbit Air BioGS 2.0 Air Purifier

Top Specs

• Model Number: SPA-550AW
• Dimensions: 16 x 9.8 x 22.2 inches
• Weight: 16.8 pounds
• Filters: 4
• Room coverage: 550 square feet
• Editor ratings: 8 out of 10

Our analysis

Previously we saw an air purifier that covers a big room. What if you do not have such big room? There is no use of that unit. This is why this time we have its mini version. The Rabbit Air BioGS 2.0 is also an excellent and powerful air purifier but for small to medium space.

This air purifier has a 4-stage air cleaning system. It includes pre-filter, BioGS HEPA filter, activated carbon filter, and Ionizer. The medium filter or the customized filter option is not in this smaller air purifier.

Its CADR is good for a medium size room. This is why this air purifier can filter a room from 300 to 550 square feet. The CADR of this air purifier is 165 Dust/ 152 Smoke/ 180 Pollen (CFM).

This device has a very intelligent control panel. It is comprised of multiple sensors, auto timer, etc. special features. The noise it produces is not much. Even in the highest setting, it can create only enough sound slightly more than that of a library environment. This is a plus point.

But there is a slight unusual thing I have found in this air purifier. Although it is great at filtering airborne particles, it does not work that much great for smoke or odor like we have seen in their other products. I guess its carbon filter is not up to the mark.

7. Blueair Blue Pure 411 Air Purifier

Top Specs

• Dimensions: 8 x 8 x 16.7 inches
• Weight: 3.35 pounds
• Filters: 3
• Room coverage: 161 square feet.
• Editor ratings: 7.5 out of 10

Our analysis

The Blueair Blue Pure 411 air purifier is a classic air purifier with 3 stage filter. Its filters are pre-filter, particle filter, and activated carbon filter respectively. They did not use the classic HEPA filter in this device. The Particle filter can clean 99% of the airborne particles. One thing about its pre-filter is that it has some very attractive and colorful pre-filters.

This air purifier weighs only 3.35 pounds. As a result, it is very lightweight which is very good for portability.

The room coverage of this air purifier is 161 sq. ft. Its CADR is 120 Dust/ 105 Smoke/ 120 Pollen (CFM). Although its range is not much but its cleaning rate is satisfactory over this range.

As this is a small air purifier, it is expected to be quiet. In its 3 fan speed levels, it creates sound from 17 dB to 46 dB. So in this sound rage, the chance of your livelihood being disturbed is very less.

8. Blueair Blue Pure 211+ Air Purifier

Top Specs

• Dimensions: 13 x 13 x 20.4 inches
• Weight:  12.5 pounds
• Room coverage: 540 square feet
• Filters: 3
• Editor ratings: 8.5 out of 10

Our analysis

The Blue pure 211+ uses a similar design concept like the Blue Pure 411. Not only the design but most of their features are also similar. But comparatively, I have to say that this Blue Pure 211+ is better because it is much stronger than the other one.

The Blue pure 211+ has a 3-stage air cleaning system. It includes pre-filter, particle filter, and activated carbon filter. The three-stage filtration system starts with a colorful, washable pre-filter (black or blue). The pre-filter captures larger particles like dust and pet hair and the activated carbon filter gets rid of everyday smells of food and pet odors naturally. And its particle filter cleans up to 99% of the airborne particles in the room.

This air purifier has a better CADR rating than Blue air 411, which you just read. 350 Dust/ 350 Smoke/ 350 Pollen (CFM) is the CADR rating and it is one of the highest available for a medium size room.

The air purifier weighs 13 pounds and has a height of 16.7 inches. This air purifier can cover a room of 540 square feet! Blue pure 211+ performs at a low noise level. It has 3 fan speeds that makes sounds from 31 to 56 decibels.

• Dimensions: 18 x 18 x 19 inches
• Weight: 20.01 pounds

• Filters: 2
• Editor ratings: 7 out of 10

Our analysis

So we have seen some air purifiers for small or medium rooms without any kind of HEPA. Now we also have another air purifier also for small or medium room but with the Ture HEPA filter. This filter can trap up to 99.97% of the airborne micro particles of up to 0.3 microns.

The True HEPA filter is not the only filter in this machine. It also has a pre-filter with activated carbon in it. So it not only acts as a wall against the large dust particles but also helps to remove VOCs and odor from your room.

The Honeywell 50250-s air purifier can cover the room up to 390 square feet. The CADR of the Honeywell 50250-S is 250 cfm for smoke, dust and pollen. So it is quite good enough for a room of 390 sq. ft. or even more. Within an hour, this machine can swipe the air of your room in every 12 minutes.

Although it is a quite strong air purifier, it has a little but very loud problem. This air purifier has three fan speed settings. And even in the lowest speed settings it creates sound of 55 db. And if you run it in the highest settings, it reaches about 69 db. So excessive sound is a big problem of this machine.

The Buyer’s Guide

We have listed the top 15 best air purifiers for the home and keep reading the buying guide below to find the best air purifier for your home. Hope this buying guide will help you to make a decision on which air purifier should buy for your home.

Room coverage

The room coverage capacity means how much space your air purifier can cover, whether it be a small, medium, or large-sized room. It’s a common issue. You will buy an air purifier depends on your room size.

But, the small room’s air purifier does not handle a big room faster. In this case, the small rooms’ air purifier’s ACH will be low. It will still get the job done but slowly.

This is the same reason why you should not buy a big room air purifier if you do not have any big room.

Again, if you have a small and a big room then you should buy a big rooms air purifiers so that you can use the air purifier in any room.

Filtration

You should choose the right filter types depending on your use.

Pre-Filter captures large dust and pet dander. And it helps prolong the lifetime of the main filter. If you have allergies then you should focus on your pre-filter.

Side note, choose the washable and reusable filter as it will last longer.

True HEPA Filter captures at least 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. This value is the same for most of the air purifiers.

Activated Carbon Filter can remove the smells produced by smoke, pets, cooking, chemicals, etc. If your someone who wants to get rid of smell then the activated carbon filter is the filter you need to focus on.

UV-C light destroys bacteria and viruses by sterilizing them and they are not harmful to humans. So focus on this filter according to your home environment and situations.

ACH rating

Choose the best air purifier for home by judging the ACH rating. ACH stands for Air Change Per Hour. For example, 4x means the air purifier can clean air four times per hour. There are air purifiers which has 4x, 5x, 6x and you can choose whichever you want. If you want your room to be cleaned more times in an hour than you can choose an air purifier with more ACH rating.

CADR rating

You should know that what is the meaning of the CADR. It means CADR stands for Clean Air Delivery Rate. And the CADR rating tells you exactly how well an air purifier can clean the air within a particular size room. If you are someone who has allergies or wants to get rid of viruses or smoke then you should choose an air purifier with a higher CADR rating.

Control Panel

In general, the control panel has a timer setting, fan speeds, power button, auto mode, night mode, and other options. You will get all options in the control panels of all the air purifiers.

If you get an air purifier that you control by your smartphone then it will be a great advantage for you as you can control it easily. Plus, not all LED light show or indicate for the same reason. Some show whether the air purifier is on or off, some show the air quality index and the other show the right time for replacing the filters. choose whichever you want your LED to indicate to you.

Noise level

The noise level is the most important factor in choosing the best air purifier for the home. You can’t judge an air purifier by solely see how well it performs. They should also be quiet. You should choose a low noise level of air purifier if you use it in the bedroom. But in the above, there are different noise levels for different air purifiers.

The lower the fan speed, the lower will the noise be. But if you use it at low fan speed then the ACH will below.

Warranty

I am sure all of us want an air purifier with a high warranty, I mean who wouldn’t like to get their air purifier fixed without paying a single penny! Choose an air purifier that serves you your preferable warranty.
