10 Air Purifiers You’ll Want to Consider for Cleaner Air

For most homes, especially if it’s located far from the busy streets of Singapore, air isn’t that bad. It just needs a little bit of refining to make things better. And that is what the Xiaomi Air Purifier 2S is built for – small, quiet, and does the job well.

Unlike most air purifiers that are quite loud when filtering air, the Purifier 2 is different. It only produces 30 decibels on night mode, which is as audible as the rustling leaves. It’s the perfect thing for your baby, so say goodbye to frustrating midnight wakeups.

The best feature that makes it ideal for most homes is its 10-minute air purifying mode. So at times when foul odours or smoke gets in the house, you only need to wait 10 minutes and the air will be fresh again. This feature is effective for medium-sized rooms (30 square meters).

Are you living alone in a small apartment in the city? Well, that doesn’t mean you have to endure low-quality air and suffer from annoying mosquitoes. Solve those two problems with one product, the SHARP FP-FM40E.

This machine is almost SGD 300.00, but it has superb build quality and effective in cleaning the air. You can cover a 25-square-meter room using this product. It has three basic functions, to provide cleaner air by collecting haze or dust particles, kill viruses and moulds with its ionizer, and zap down mosquitoes.

The only concern is that this air purifier with mosquito catcher is heavy and consumes quite a lot of power. It weighs around 5.8kg. However, it’s not that bulky and doesn’t really take a lot of space.

Sometimes, people want a handy and portable gadget that can clean the air for you anytime, anywhere. And if you're like that, the Donut USB Mini Portable Air Purifier is for you. It's the cheapest one on the list and is a rechargeable device. It's so small that you can place it in a shoulder bag.

This machine is ideal for those who love traveling or office workers. It's portable and is quiet, so it won't distract anyone. Although it takes a lot of time to see its results, it's still better than breathing in polluted air.

Well, houses and rooms aren’t the only places where polluted air lurks. What you inhale in your car can be just as bad as the outside as air conditioners aren’t designed to filter the air. Its primary purpose is to cool it. But don’t worry though; Philips GoPure 100 Car Air Purifier is here to save the day.

First of all, it’s compact. You can compare it to a medium-sized dictionary. Second, there’s no gimmick to it when installing to your car – plug and play. We love that this air purifier is optimized to filter smoke and its odour, which is the most common issues for automobiles.

The GoPure 100 can clean the air in your car in just about 13 minutes. The only thing that you might dislike about it is its sound. Although it’s not that loud, it still packs quite a volume. But it shouldn’t be much of a bother if you turn on the stereo.

Next on our list is likely to be the boss – in price and filtration power – the Honeywell 18400. It can clean a large room’s air (60 square meters) with ease. And even from afar, it can suck in animal hair and smell. When it comes to heavy-duty cleaning, this air purifier is the go-to machine.

For starters, its biggest strength is its extra fine filter; it can catch particles of up to 0.3 microns. That means 99.97 percent of the air is free from dust, allergens, pollens, germs, and just about anything that might cause a problem to your health.

The Honeywell 18400 and its series are one of the most used and doctor recommended air purifiers in the US. If you’re very sensitive to microbes floating around, investing a machine like this that can cover a huge area might be your best solution. There are three downsides though, its price, power consumption, and loudness. Nevertheless, it’s going to deliver excellent results.

If you want an air purifier for your bedroom, nothing can beat the Cado AP-C100 Air Purifier. This machine, at a glance, is elegant and classy. It has a round aluminum body and has tactile command buttons located at its bottom. 

What makes it ideal for any bedroom is its low sound level (30 dBA) – you'll have a lovely sleep all through the night. An electric fan would be significantly noisier when compared to this machine. So sound is an issue, you’ll want this product even more.

Aside from the above, it also has a unique self-cleaning mechanism with a blue-light activated carbon filter. That means it kills germs and harmful pathogens in the air while also keeping its filter germ-free. It's durable and has a very long lifespan. Although it is quite pricey, it’s definitely worth buying.

Next on our list is not only an air purifier but also as a pretty cool fan. At a glance, it’s close to alien technology – air goes out of a bladeless fan. This attribute makes it incredibly safe for kids who are always curious about anything.

The Dyson DP01 filters dust, mold, and smoke. It’s superb in taking out dust as its inhaust is located near the floor. Its body is made out of high-quality plastic, and it offers quite a number of fascinating features.

It has great oscillation, so clean air is evenly distributed around the room. And you get to see how pure your air is by checking its app. In a nutshell, it’s a unique air purifier and fan. Although it may be expensive, it does provide a lot of aesthetics and gets the air clean.

Offices are one of the most polluted rooms on this planet. However, nobody can recognize that because they're often air-conditioned and enclosed. But with people coming in and out, working while having a mild cold, bacteria can be lurking at every corner. And with that, we recommend having the Clean Air AP-888 in every office.

This air purifier is a beast; it can cover up to 80 square meters. Plus, it has turbo mode when things get too dusty. It kills germs, can remove foul odor almost immediately, and is robust. The only problem with this machine is its size, but when it comes to purifying, it's a must-have for huge workplaces.

Second to the last product on our list is another affordable air purifier. And even though it’s remarkably cheap for an air purifier, it does surprisingly well. The Pure 606A is not your everyday purifier; it’s the only one on this list that uses water to clean the air you breathe.

For starters, it’s not at all spectacular when it comes to clearing up smoke or eliminating microbes. It doesn’t use the normal carbon filter or HEPA filter. However, it’s super effective when eliminating odours because you can add fragrance or soap into the water.

The water when treated will act as a sponge that will take away the foul smells and add a refreshing scent into the air. Furthermore, as it does that, it’ll also humidify the area subtly. Overall, it’s worth purchasing, especially if you love cooking – it’s great addition to anyone’s kitchen that won’t break the bank.

Last but not least is the DeLonghi AC150. It’s quite big and feels more like old-school air purifiers. Nonetheless, it does a wonderful job at filtering polluted air four times over. It has the anti-dust, HEPA, active carbon, and photo-catalyst UV light filter – quite a mouthful.

It cleans the air slowly but thoroughly. First of all, bigger particles such as dust, hair, and fur are all captured in the first anti-dust filter. You can wash this filter from time to time, which prolongs the life of the other filters if you consistently wash it once or twice a month.

The HEPA and carbon filter makes sure that the pollens, bacteria, and foul odours are all caught. And the last filter, photo-catalyst UV light, will kill the tiniest microbes such as viruses. It’s a great solution for those who have asthma or people who’re easily prone to catching colds.
