With over 300 air purifier models to select from, choosing the best one for your needs can be overwhelming and time consuming.
Complicating things:
- Most people have a specific air quality need and units designed as general purpose do not effectively care for specific concerns.
- Manufacturers use different jargon for the same feature in an effort to make their unit stand out.
At Air Purifiers America, we give you just the right amount of information to help you make an informed decision without burdening you with jargon. In fact, we’ve categorized units by specific need to help you quickly understand which units will work for what you care most about. If you have a question as you shop, our product specialists are always available (by phone or chat) to help you choose the best air purifier for you.

What Size is Your Room?
Smaller rooms require smaller air purifiers whereas larger open-concept areas require larger units. Larger air purifiers have larger motors and fans to clean large volumes of air. When most air purifier brands speak to coverage area they refer to how much air an air purifier can effectively clean in a specific-sized area. Each of these general room sizes requires a different air purifier to effectively clean your air:
