The best air purifiers of 2020

This category includes budget and multi-stage filtration air purifiers. It is important to note that the cost of such devices mainly depends on which filter is used. Moreover, even the flagship models of this class, equipped with several filters at once, are significantly cheaper than ionizers. The disadvantage of such products is that they are very noisy, due to the operation of the fan. In this case, it is necessary to regularly replace removable components, which is accompanied by additional costs.

Opens the Top 15 home cleaners table model TAP FL70 SF from the famous manufacturer of climate technology Timberk. The company gives 12 months of warranty, which is quite enough, given the price of the product. At the same time, the device has an elegant design, expressed in glossy plastic. Ease of use is due to the presence of the I-Touch touch panel. A good level of cleaning is due to the presence of a high-quality HEPA filter. There is a timer for 4-8 hours. The advantages include the ability to adjust power in three ranges, as well as a carbon filter to remove unpleasant odors.

Speaking of inexpensive, but good air purifiers for an apartment, it’s hard to leave the Polaris PPA 4045Rbi out of the picture. According to the manufacturer, the device effectively cleans and disinfects air. The small device received a four-level filtration system, including an electrostatic filter. However, you should not count on effective ionization, given the cost of the model. The strengths of the invention include remote control, a timer for 8 hours, low noise, rubberized case, as well as maintaining the latest settings. In general, 3 speed adjustments are set. More and not necessary, given the power of 40 watts. The warranty period is 2 years.

This year, Xiaomi launched a huge number of functional air purifiers.One of the most worthy in the segment of budget models, in our opinion, is 70Mai. The device stands out against the background of its analogues in a bright design, ergonomic body. The manufacturer made a bias towards minimalism, depriving the device of a familiar screen. A multicolored LED indicator is used to indicate different modes, and this is enough for comfortable operation. Do not doubt. Productivity of the device makes 52 m ³ / hour. Among the advantages include a pre-filter, a HEPA filter and the ability to control from a smartphone. By the way, due to their size and simplicity, many motorists managed to install a cleaner in the car interior.

Considering budget air purifiers for an apartment, it is difficult to underestimate the advantages of the inexpensive FOXCLEANER ION model. The representative of the middle segment operates on the basis of a 5-stage cleaning system, which is enough to remove a wide variety of harmful impurities, allergens and household dust. Moreover, the loyal price tag is due to the fact that the manufacturer is only developing in the CIS. This model operates on the basis of a premium level photocatalyst that can cope with the removal of even heavy chemical contaminants. Including formaldehydes. There are additional features, including air ionization. But there are doubts about the latter, given the low price tag. As for the filters, it is worth noting HEPA, a carbon filter, a UV lamp, a pre-filter.

The best low-cost air purifier of 2020 is the Polaris PPA 5042i. Let the low cost not mislead you: the device embodies the best technology of one of the leading manufacturers of climate technology. Despite the simplicity and loyal price, the device can already be found today in the open spaces of not only domestic but also commercial premises, including offices and more. Inside the case there is an ionizer, a HEPA filter that traps 99.97% of dust, a carbon filter and a PP filter. In addition to three-level filtering, the device attracts with a good indication, indicating the need to replace filters. The service area is 35 square meters with a capacity of 150 cubic meters per hour. This result is due to the presence of a power of 15 watts. It is worth adding that in the case of this device there is a good built-in ionizer.

Of course, against the background of conventional air washes and photocatalytic cleaners, models with mechanical filtration (HEPA filters) and an electrostatic unit look more effective. For obvious reasons, such devices are more expensive than budget counterparts, but they perform several important tasks for allergy sufferers at once. Firstly, HEPA filters, like a sieve, do not allow pollution. Secondly, an electrostatic filter simultaneously produces ozone and charges allergens. Many believe that in fact, ozonizers are not able to inactivate pollution. According to the editorial staff, there are indeed many solutions on sale that embody marketing exclusively, but a good electrostatic filter can cope with organic microorganisms. It is only important not to make a mistake with the choice.

The PPA 4040i model from Polaris replenishes the rating of the best air purifiers of 2020. This is a representative of the premium segment for an apartment, equipped with a three-level filtration system. The main advantage is the presence of PP filters impregnated with silver ions. This technology will remove even harmful bacteria with microorganisms from the air. Large particles are retained by the HEPA filter, which can hold up to 99.5% in size up to 0.3 microns. At the same time, a carbon filter is responsible for neutralizing harmful odors.With a power of 60 W, the performance of the device is 200 m³/ h The company positions this model as the optimal solution for rooms with an area of ​​up to 40 square meters.

In our list of the best home air purifiers, another model from AIC deserves attention - XJ-4000. The device is reliable, durable and effectively copes with malignant microorganisms.

A photocatalytic filter, ionization, and a good fan take part in solving this problem. There is a timer and automatic modes. Performance is enough to service even large houses. The advantages include remote control and a built-in screen.

For areas up to 35 m², a good air purifier for allergy sufferers is still being offered by Tefal this year. We are talking about the model PU4025 with four levels of filtration. The HEPA filter removes up to 99.95% of bacteria with harmful substances. There is also a carbon and patented NANO filter. Together, this gives an excellent result. The only downside is that the capacity is 170 m³ / h. There are 2 operating modes to choose from for use day and night. Naturally, the second option involves reducing the performance and volume of the noise. Among the strengths you need to include a timer for 8 hours and compact size.

In terms of price / quality, one of the best air purifiers is the Oxygen model from Yamaguchi. This is a fully automated machine equipped with an intelligent sensor. The sensor detects and facilitates air quality control. It is worth noting that the manufacturer equipped the device with three modes: including automatic, manual and night.

A UV filter with an ultraviolet length of 365 nm is responsible for eliminating adverse microorganisms. In addition, an anionic cleaner (i.e., ionization) is used. The advantages of the device include a low noise level, a light indicator (red, blue, green), speed control, and Wi-Fi control. There is enough capacity to service the territory with an area of ​​up to 58 square meters.

The last category of our rating presents universal electrical systems that can cope with maintaining a favorable indoor microclimate in all senses of the word.Such complexes are used both in large residential premises, and in industrial. Premium models are able to guarantee a high level of filtration, ionization, humidification and dehumidification of air. Moreover, on sale you can find small alternatives to air conditioners that additionally heat and cool the air. Naturally, such devices are much more expensive.

If you do not know which air purifier to buy with a good humidifier, we recommend paying attention to a stylish and durable device called AIC XJ-297. This device is designed to serve small rooms up to 28 square meters. Moreover, it perfectly copes in the designated area with the removal of dust, allergens, organic microorganisms, including harmful bacteria and microbes. The carbon filter, in turn, is responsible for eliminating unpleasant odors. It is worth saying that this is a low-power device, and the productivity is only 120 cubic meters per hour. Humidifier water consumption is 250 milliliters per hour. Actually, this is enough to service the apartment.

In the combination wiper segment, the AWI-40 from Winia is a fairly powerful and productive model. The water consumption of the humidifier in this model reaches 450 milliliters per hour, which is enough for 15 hours of continuous operation. The volume of the tank of the bulky unit is 7 liters. The advantages of a reliable climate complex include hydrofiltration, the presence of a humidity regulator, night mode and a good level of protection. In the absence of water, the device turns off automatically. In addition, there is a stylish touch screen with electronic control.

One of the most intelligent climate systems this year is undoubtedly the Panasonic F-VXR50R. The power of this flagship device is quite enough even to eliminate building dust, not to mention small particles. Despite such performance and functionality, the device has a rather modest design. Probably, the manufacturer decided to compensate for this by the presence of a bright LED-backlight that can turn off at night due to built-in sensors. The effective air intake is due to the presence of a motorized front panel that provides direct access to the company's patented filters. The service life of each of the three main filters is 10 years. At the same time, the combined HEPA filter consists of a catechin layer with green tea extract.

In the premium segment of top-end air purifiers with a humidifier and an ionizer, we managed to prove ourselves from the best side of another Winia model - this is AWX-70. The device is designed to service large rooms with an area of ​​up to 50 square meters. It has multi-stage filtration, including preliminary, HEPA filter and electrostatic. In the cleaner mode, the device performs its tasks automatically, regardless of user settings. As for the humidifier, you yourself can control the performance in the range of up to 350 milliliters of water per hour. There is an indication of air pollution, a timer off, a display. The maximum noise level is 32 dB, and the water tank exceeds 9 liters, which guarantees continuous operation without adding water.

The best climate complex in 2020 is the Panasonic F-VXK90 model, which purifies, moisturizes, deodorizes air in rooms of various sizes.The device has received unique nanoe ™ technology, which has proven effective in suppressing the negative effects of allergens as well as viruses. Cost savings, in turn, are guaranteed by Econavi technology. With it, your device will not work in vain. The strengths include 3D volumetric airflow distribution, high power, and filtering. As a result, the model copes well not only with allergens and fine pollen, but also with unpleasant odors. Ease of use at night due to the presence of LED filters Clean Sign.

It should be noted right away that it is difficult to talk about the parameters of ionizers, because the volume of air being treated, as well as the quality of the implementation of the task, depends on many factors, including humidity and circulation in the room. Accordingly, if you do not know how to choose an air purifier of this type, it is worth entrusting the matter to professionals. The only optimal characteristic is the power of the device, which must be selected in accordance with the size of the property.

When choosing a filter type cleaner, you should pay attention to the number and types of filters, as well as the following three characteristics:

1. Performance - do not confuse this parameter with power. If we are talking about filtration models, then you need to choose such a device so that in 60 minutes it can pass the entire volume of air in the room three times;
2. The degree of purification is another important characteristic, indicated in the description either by a number or by a quantitative value of how many times the concentration of impurities at the outlet of the filters is less than at the inlet.
3. Noise level - note that models with a reading of more than 40 dB are too loud for a comfortable sleep.

Types and features of filters

It should be noted right away that filter density matters. The denser, the better it retains both dust and volatile substances, but worsens the passage of air, which negatively affects the performance of the equipment. Currently, models with one or more of the following filters can be found on sale:

• mechanical (HEPA filters) - have long been used in most air purifiers, including modern models. Such filters do a good job of retaining solid particles. Some have activated carbon in their composition, which contributes to the absorption of toxic gases. Among the advantages of the HEPA filter is a high throughput. By cons - quick wear and inability to recover;
• electrostatic filters - air ionization is carried out exclusively inside the device chamber. Plates can be removed and washed. However, such a filter is more often used as an auxiliary than the main one. It can be used in rooms where dust is concentrated mainly. Such a filter cannot cope with volatile and gaseous pollution;
• aquafilters - water analogues provide for cleaning, attract a long service life. The downside is that such components have a low degree of purification, and cope mainly with particulate matter;
• photocalytic - they can’t cope with aerosols and other microparticles, but they burn organics in UV rays. Perfectly cope with unpleasant odors, formaldehydes.

Thus, an ideal filter does not exist. For this reason, experts recommend focusing on models with several components.

Summing up, it can be noted that there is no ideal air purifier.Each of the species has its own strengths and weaknesses. At the same time, ionizers must be selected taking into account the ventilation system and the characteristics of users. If you do not know which air purifier to buy for an apartment from filtration analogues, pay attention to the number of cleaning systems, performance and noise. The price range is also different, and can vary from several thousand to several tens of thousands. Accordingly, you need to compare, take into account your interests, the number of residents and the described characteristics. To summarize:

• good and inexpensive air purifier - Polaris PPA 5042i;
• the best model for the apartment is Yamaguchi Oxygen;
• an effective cleaner for allergy sufferers - Okami Air 810 Smart;
• 3 in 1 combi device - Panasonic F-VXK90.
