Best-Rated Portable Home Air Purifiers: Are They Worth The Money?

If you search online for best rated air purifiers, you’ll find that the best units range in price from a couple hundred dollars, to a thousand dollars or more. For most of us out here, that’s a pretty good chunk of change to lay down, hoping that the air cleaner will help reduce allergies or at least clean up the air significantly.
 
But are they worth it? Do portable room air cleaners really have enough effect on allergies to warrant spending the extra money to get a quality air cleaner and not some $99 Wal-Mart special?
 
Well, if you read current studies on allergies related to air purification you’ll see that, at least for the higher quality portable air purifiers can make a measurable difference in the number and severity of allergy, quality of sleep, daily energy levels, even asthma attacks. The portable air cleaners listed in most of the studies did have true HEPA filters and a good amount of activated carbon, and the study participants used at least one unit in the bedroom and one unit in the main living area or other room where they spend the most time. Also, the units were left on continuously on ‘low’ for several weeks, so that they were constantly cleaning the air.
 
So, it appears that, yes, quality portable air purifiers can reduce allergies, improve sleep, reduce fatigue, etc. And most people agree, if these air cleaners can help you feel better and have more energy in general, then they are worth the money. But a couple of the best benefits of portable home air purification that most don’t take into account are: 1) the reduction in allergy medication costs, doctor visits, etc., and 2) the long term lowered risk (even prevention) of serious illnesses like heart disease, cancer, stroke and others. When you combine all of these benefits, portable home air cleaners are definitely worth the money if they can add years to your life, and add life to your years.
 
Do make sure, however, if you’re planning to purchase a quality portable air purifier for your home, room or office, that the unit has a true, certified HEPA filter, a good amount of activated carbon, a good warranty, and solid reviews. Don’t purchase a unit that does not have a HEPA filter as over 60% of allergies and asthma are caused by the particles floating in the air—and it requires a HEPA filter to remove those. Purely ionic air cleaners don’t trap all of the particles, often release poisonous ozone, and don’t have carbon filters to remove harmful chemical vapors from household cleaning products, paints, solvents, etc. And be aware that most air cleaners you find for $99 are not even equipped with the right filters to do much air cleaning at all. Often, your best portable air purifier deals are found at online retail stores, not department stores.
