Levoit Air Purifier for Home, Quiet H13 HEPA Filter Removes Pollen, Allergy Particles, Dust, Smoke, Portable Air Cleaner for Bedroom with 3 Speeds, Night Light, Filter Change Reminder

Product Information

Despite its relatively affordable price point, this model offers a pre-filter to capture large particles such as dust, lint, fibers, hair, and pet fur, a HEPA filter that traps fine dust, smoke particles, and allergens such as pollen and pet dander, and a carbon filter that works to neutralise smoke, fumes, VOCs, and household odours such as cooking smells and pet odours. It would be nice to think that we could all rely on good air quality as standard, however, with increasing levels of pollution both inside and out, many of us are turning to air purifiers to help counteract potentially harmful particulates in the air. A higher CADR rating means that the air purifier can clean the air faster, making it more efficient. An air purifier with a low CADR rating may not be as effective in removing pollutants from the air. CADR is a standardized measure that allows you to compare air purifiers of different sizes. The AHAM recommends a CADR rating of at least 2/3 of the room's area'. Removal rate Dust pre-filter – think of air filtration as sifting sand on a beach. You want to remove the large pebbles first with a big sieve before using a finer one. Otherwise, the fine filter gets clogged up.

Named the 'Beko HygieneShield', this air purifier works to filter out the nasties in a room (up to 24m² large) with a system that contains a pre-filter, a HEPA 13 filter and a carbon filter. These combined filters banish dust, hair, pollen, and unwanted smells. The natural filters are a welcome difference to most air purifiers, and it certainly creates a stylish focal point design. The overall look is more terrarium than air purifier and thanks to its USB charging point the filter can be powered by a power bank if you want to use it somewhere without an easily accessible plug – so it could easily take centrestage on a mantelpiece.Our testers found the top control panel to be very user-friendly, with an auto mode that uses the built-in sensor to adjust filter speed accordingly, and a handy digital display on the top that gives you real-time information on air quality levels. According to the brand, the body of the briiv air filter unit is made 'completely from bioplastics derived from Elephant Grass with a bespoke and toughened recyclable glass display zone'. This zero plastic air purifier also utilises natural filters which biodegrade when disposed of, as opposed to the more common HEPA filters which briiv says 'are made out of fibreglass and other microplastics' and can therefore contaminate the environment.

The best air purifiers use activated carbon filters will remove the Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) that cause smells. That could be a musty smell, the particulates from a scented candle, or aerosol. How do I get the right size air purifier for my room?This small air purifier uses hypochlorous acid (HOCl),a naturally occurring molecule created using non-iodized salt, water, and electrolysis, to clean, deodorize, and humidify dry air. The Meaco MeacoClean CA-HEPA 76x5 air purifier is a really great all-rounder which, despite not topping the other appliances on this list in areas like CADR, power consumption or quiet operation, performed solidly in our tests.

This air filter also has Smart capabilities and can be connected to an App for remote operation. Sadly, in practice, we found the briiv's controls – both manual and App-based – a little fiddly and unresponsive. Well, yes, regular ventilation like opening the windows and doors in your home is key to a healthy building. In fact, this is how long to keep windows open to stop mould, as recommended by the experts. However, if you live in an area with poor outdoor air quality, or are sensitive to pollen, then this isn’t always as good a solution as we might hope. Small, lightweight, and relatively affordable, we think the Levoit Core 300 air purifier is a great option for smaller homes, and, thanks to its unobtrusive build and quiet 'sleep mode' we rank it alongside the Blueair Blue 3210 air purifier as one of the best air purifiers for the bedroom. HEPA filter – this catches more dust, pollens, other allergens, and even bacteria, so you’ll breathe cleaner whether you suffer from pet allergies or hay fever.There are 10, 12, 20 and 25 litre options available (these numbers denoting how much water can be extracted from the air per day), all offering air purifying functions on top of their dehumidifying powers.

The irony of an air purifier is that whilst they may help to remove air pollution from our personal environments, the plastics and other manmade materials used in their manufacture potentially contribute to overall environmental air pollution. briiv aims to reduce this problem by creating an air purifier with a difference. While trialling this purifier, our reviewer Millie found it very simple to set up and use and quiet to run throughout the process. It helped to alleviate allergy symptoms after use, and it was satisfying to watch the numerical reading on this air purifier drop as the air got cleaner. But what should you be looking for when you shop for the best air purifier? To help decode the often confusing array of technical terms associated with air purifiers, we've enlisted the help of Lars Dunberger, Technology Development Manager at Blueair, a Swedish manufacturer that specialises in air quality products.

The verdict: Air purifiers

It wins on a few practical points too, with a useful foldaway handle and a minimalistic control panel that isn't a headache to get working. Yes, dust and pollen are some of the largest particles likely to be in the air, so most air purifiers will manage to capture and filter out a good amount of dust particulate from the air. Do air purifiers remove smells? CADR is an industry-standard measure defined by the independent Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) in the U.S. Certified and verified by an independent laboratory, CADR provides consumers with a reliable way to compare the efficiency of different air purifiers'. The controls are easy to operate, with anLED displayand largepush buttons. The unit also has wheels, a retractable carry handle, and a cable tidy that makes it easy to move around the house and store neatly away when it's not in use. The Beko ATP6100I Air Purifieris a no-nonsense air purifier that's very straightforward to use. During testing, the feature that stood out most is the auto adjust, which automatically brings the power level up or down depending on the air quality reading in the room at that moment.
