Product Information

Hollow Design:The hollow design makes this purifier not only clean, but also has the effect of hot air and cold air, which can clean all year round and can be used as a cooling and heating fan. The price is relatively reasonable and the three-in-one function meets daily needs. Matt Thomas, Lead Small Electricals Buyer at John Lewis, has noted a marked increase in air purifier sales. “Typically, we’ve seen families with young children, new parents and families where there’s a history of allergies or respiratory conditions being the early adopters,” he says. What about a carry handle? These are handy if you need to move it from room to room. Wheels, a compact design and a low weight won’t go amiss here, either. A Swiss manufacturer we’d not come across before, Stadler Form launched their first product, the odd-looking Fred humidifier, in 1998 and now produce high-quality fans, heaters, dehumidifiers and air purifiers. Our favourite is this one, Roger Little (there’s also a Roger Big for 104m 2 rooms and plain old Roger for 66m 2 rooms).

Airpurtech has been specializing in air purification (air purifiers, filters, fans, etc.) for over 30 years. Our sales network is all over the world, mainly in the United States, Europe, Southeast Asia and other regions. It’s just as good as an air purifier too, though its CADR rating is slightly below that of the purifier-only Pro P2. In tests, it took PM2.5 levels from a maximum 411 micrograms per square metre to 25 in 135 seconds, bringing it down to double figures in just over a minute. Again like the Pro P2, it’s quiet, with the noise barely noticeable at the lowest speed in purifier mode. Left on Smart mode, with the front-facing display turned off, all but the lightest sleepers should be able to sleep through. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ Very little compared to other household appliances. Electric heaters and dehumidifiers tend to draw 1,000 to 2,000 Watts but household air purifiers draw just 20-30W, costing you around 2p per hour at current (June 2023) prices. However, these can rise steeply with extra functions: “Those that have heating, cooling and dehumidifier functions will use much more energy than a standard filter unit,” Matt Thomas says.

So if you have the Zona 620 which has a CADR of 620 at max fan speed and runs at 50 watts – you have a CADR per watt rate of 15.5 which is excellent efficiency. Generally the average CADR per watt rate is around 5 or less. Key specs – CADR: 280m³/h; Max room size: 35m²; Power settings: 4; Dimensions (WDH): 25 x 25 x 45cm; Weight: 3.8kg; Filter replacement indicator: Yes; Warranty: 2 years With the average cost of just 8p per day of electricity cost to have an air purifier running, we think you will agree that is a very small price to pay to have constantly pure air circulating in the space you live and breathe. It may be at the pricier end of the scale, but the AEG AX7 must be the best-looking air purifier on the market. Ideal for living rooms, its five-stage purification system ensures the capture of up to 99.9% of all microscopic particles and bacteria and can clean the air in 60m 2 room in as little as seven minutes, while making no more noise than light rain.

Definitely not against a wall (unless the unit has been specifically designed that way). Air purifiers need to draw in air and redistribute it, so leave an arm’s length of space around each side. Put it in the room you spend the most time in, usually your bedroom or your child’s bedroom. What is the Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR)? Some purifiers have a built-in timer. This can be really useful if you want your machine to come on a few hours before you get home, or if you want to turn it off automatically at night. This is one of those rare dual-function appliances that’s effective at both, and if the only downside is that it’s a bit weird looking, then that’s not exactly hard to live with. Throw in smart features, a good remote, and fairly frugal power consumption, and it’s a great addition to your living room or bedroom. Even without all the smart stuff, this is an easy purifier to use. Clear indicators show the current mode and power setting, while a central ring glows blue through to red, depending on the current air quality readings. You can pretty much leave it on the Automatic setting and let it do its thing. It can get a little noisy at its highest speeds, peaking at 52.7dB in Turbo mode, but we measured a very reasonable 28dB in Sleep mode. An air-quality sensor, which enables the machine to switch itself on when the air quality becomes poorer, can be useful. After all, you can’t see when the air quality dips, for example, as the result of a high pollen count.
