Choosing the right air purifier

Choosing the right air purifier :

  • Measure the room dimensions where you will put the air cleaner, measure the area of a standard square or rectangular room, using simple formula: Length x Width = Area. Recommended size for Small room is 100-300 sq/ft, Medium room is  250-400 sq/ft and Large room is 350-650 sq/ft. You can use the comparison feature between the air purifiers on our website to find out which model is fit for your house.
  • Match the square feet in your room to the amount of space the air cleaner will clean.ƒ
  • If you buy an air purifier that is too small for your space it will not clean the air well.
  • ƒIf possible buy a HEPA filter air cleaner.
What types of air cleaners can I get for my house ?
