The best air purifiers to every home

The Philips Series 3000i reduces allergens, odours, viruses, and bacteria, thanks to a combined HEPA and carbon filter. The all-around design provides 360 degrees of airflow, which makes it perfect for medium to large rooms.

What sets this device apart from the competition is that it automatically monitors and purifies the air in your home, and the results can be tracked on the Air Matters app, which provides real-time air quality feedback. Other nice touches include a sleep mode — which provides ultra-quirt action — and Alexa compatibility for voice control.

There’s no denying this purifier is on the expensive side, but not many competing models match this for features.

For smaller rooms or offices, you might not need a massive cleaner that sits on the floor — but that doesn't mean a mini one is your only other option. 

The Levoit LV-H132 air purifier is one of the sleekest little guys on the market, and though it's small enough to sit on a desk, its cleaning capacity is massive. 

There are three fan speeds to choose from, while a three-stage filtration system kills 99.7% of dust, pollen, and pet dander. It's also 100% ozone free — this basically means that it does not use UV or ions, which produce trace amounts of measurable ozone. 

The Dyson Pure Hot+Cool is truly ahead of its time. It uses bladeless Air Multiplier tech, which pulls in dirty air, puts it through multiple diffusers and filters, and then circulates pollutant-free air through the room. The hollow design is testament to its performance — it's one of the simplest devices to use on this list.

A mini LCD screen on the front shows you the current status of your air, and the Dyson app gives detailed info on the quality of the air outside and the type of pollutants most affecting your home. If the app senses that polluted air increases in your home at a certain time of day, you can set timed cleaning schedules.

The effortless peace of mind is enough justification on its own, but the cooling fan and heater addition allows you to control the temperature all year round.

The Winix U450 air purifier is packed full of advanced features, but it's the coverage area of this device that makes a big impression — a whopping 120 square metres. That means it can handle large bedrooms, family rooms, kitchens, and even offices.

It might be a bit on the bulky side, but that’s because it’s packing plenty of technology. There’s a four-stage filtration system — taking care of odours, smoke, pet dander, bacteria, viruses, pollutants, and allergens — plus PlasmaWave technology, which creates Hydroxyls to neutralise bacteria and viruses.

Another impressive feature is the SmartSensor that automatically gauges the room's air quality and adjusts the strength of filtration. The sleep mode also provides you with a quiet and clean environment at night. It has an eight-hour timer, too.

The name PureMate may seem corny, but this device really could be your best friend. 

The HEPA filter captures 99.97% of allergens like household dust, pet dander, mold spores, and plant pollens — as small as 0.3 microns. For rooms that need a heavy-duty cleaning, it has sanitising UV light technology. The UV lamp works with Titanium Dioxide and an optional ioniser and takes care of airborne nasties.

Not only does it clean the air by trapping particles you can't even see, it makes things smell better, too. And though it sits on the floor, it's not cumbersome. It's slim enough to be tucked in a corner, in between furniture, or somewhere else out of the way.

Silentnight is all about making sure you get a good night's sleep, and the Silentnight Air Purifier does just that. You can literally rest easy.

This triple filtered air purifier is capable of removing 99% of all airborne contaminants from the air including pollen, mould spores, dander, and odours. If you have a pet, or you smoke, this is an ideal option. It can also be set to run on a timer and has a sleep function that cuts out during the night once you are settled. 

The three-stage filter starts with a sponge layer that removes the larger particles, a HEPA filter that removes air smaller particles, and the final carbon filter that removes the last very fine particles that tend to carry those lingering smells.
