Portable Home Air Purifiers: Quality vs. Cheap Units—Is it Worth The Extra Money?

When it comes to portable home air filtration systems, there are a ton of air cleaners to choose from in just about as many price ranges, with different features, etc. You have the super cheap air purifiers at department stores like Walmart, many of which do a pretty good job of cleaning the air for the money, all the way up to Aller Air and IQ Air units that do a much better job of cleaning the air, but cost two to three times as much, as well. Is it worth it?
 
The answer to that question depends on several factors. First of all, your better portable air scrubbers are going to have better, longer lasting HEPA and carbon filters, a stronger output to handle larger spaces and they’re usually much quieter than cheaper units. But whether you want to spend the extra money or not on a room air purifier usually depends on 1) how polluted your indoor air is, 2) whether you have any significant degree of allergy, sinus, or respiratory issues, 3) where you live—since the air conditioner is always bringing in air from the outside, 4) how concerned you are about maintaining your best health, and 5) whether you’d like to change filters every 3-6 months or every 4-5 years.
 
If you’re not too concerned about your indoor air and have a few allergies, a cheaper portable room air purifier with a good HEPA filter might be enough for you. If you have more severe allergies, asthma, or MCS, however, making sure the air is super clean is very important, and only the better air cleaners are going to clean the air sufficiently to noticeably reduce symptoms. 
 
The more expensive units usually have better HEPA filters that last longer, ions to increase efficiency, and often significant amounts of carbon that remove chemicals and odors that cheap air filters can’t. And, your best air scrubbers, like Aller Air, Austin Air, for example, have filters that can last up to 5 years, which makes them almost maintenance free. A cheaper air scrubber will often need filter replacements every 3-6 months, which can be time consuming and expensive.
 
Cheap air purifiers also usually aren’t sealed as well, which means they’re going to allow polluted air to blow around the filter and other areas which pushes polluted air back into your room. Cheap air cleaners also usually don’t have much of a warranty, if any, and usually need replacing in a year or two. If that doesn’t bother you, great. But most of us are too busy to have more trouble and expense added to our home by an appliance that doesn’t last.
 
Your best bet is to buy a quality portable room air scrubber the first time and get super clean air from then on, without worrying about the unit, how clean the air is or any of that. Quality home air scrubbers like Aller Air, Austin Air and Blueair all come with great warranties of 5-10 years so you’re not left holding the bag if something breaks. So, all things considered, a better air purifier might cost a little more on the front end, but you’ll get cleaner air, better health, and a lot fewer headaches by spending that extra amount.
