An air purifier improves the air quality in your home. The device filters pollen, fine dust and house dust mites from the air. This helps with allergies and hay fever, while also ensuring fresher indoor air. Discover what to look out for when choosing your air purifier and which models currently rank among the best choices.

What is the best air purifier at the moment?

In a bright living room, a small dog rests on the floor as a striped Philips air purifier glows strongly, cleaning and circulating the air.

The best air purifiers are:

  • Philips PureProtect 3200 Series AC3220/10
  • Philips PureProtect Mini AC0920/10
  • Dyson Pure Humidify+Cool Cryptomic PH05
  • Erikssøn Prime air purifier
  • Clean Air Optima CA-502 Desktop Smart

The best air purifiers are equipped with a HEPA filter. This type of filter captures very small dust particles and pollen and is therefore important if you or someone in your household suffers from allergies, hay fever or house dust mites. When choosing the best air purifier, it’s also wise to consider the device’s capacity, noise level and energy consumption.

Keep note of this when choosing an air purifier

Philips PureProtect 3200 series AC3220/10

In a larger living room or open-plan space, an air purifier needs to filter more air per hour to noticeably improve air quality. The Philips PureProtect 3200 Series is designed for this, with a Clean Air Delivery Rate of 520 cubic metres per hour. CADR indicates how much clean air an air purifier can produce per hour: the higher the value, the faster the air in a room is refreshed. Thanks to this high output and a filtration system with a HEPA NanoProtect filter and activated carbon filter, the AC3220/10 is a good choice for rooms up to 123 square metres.

For smaller spaces such as your bedroom or home office, a compact air purifier is often more practical. The Philips PureProtect Mini efficiently filters pollen, dust and other small particles from the air, and is quiet enough to run through the night. The device is suitable for rooms of up to around 65 square metres and can purify the air in a 20-square-metre room in under 12 minutes. The built-in PM2.5 sensor continuously monitors air quality and automatically adjusts its operation. This means you can place the air purifier wherever you need it at that moment, without having to reset it each time.

If you’re looking for a budget-friendly air purifier for a smaller room, the Erikssøn Prime is a good choice. Its HEPA 13 filter removes very fine particles such as pollen and fine dust from the air, making it feel noticeably fresher. Despite its compact size, the device can refresh smaller rooms within 15 minutes thanks to its 360° airflow.

If you often work at a desk or want to purify the air in a small bedroom, a compact model like the Clean Air Optima CA-502 Desktop Smart is a smart choice. The device is suitable for rooms of up to around 20 square metres, and thanks to the sleep mode you can use it quietly in the background while you sleep or work at your desk. The built-in ioniser causes small dust particles to clump together, so they fall out of the air more quickly and the air feels noticeably cleaner.

An air purifier helps improve indoor air quality by filtering pollen, fine dust and house dust mites from the air. The best air purifier for you depends on the room in which you want to use it. In general, a model with a HEPA filter is a good idea. This type of filter captures extra fine dust particles, making the air even cleaner.

If you want an air purifier for a larger space, the Philips PureProtect 3200 Series is a smart choice. More compact models are better suited to smaller rooms. If you want to purify the air in a smaller room such as your bedroom or home office, the Philips PureProtect Mini, the Erikssøn Prime and the Clean Air Optima CA-502 Desktop Smart – an air purifier with an ioniser – are all good options.
