Air Purifiers

An air purifier is an electrical device with a special filtration system that helps improve air quality at home or in the office. But how do you choose the right air purifier to effectively combat harmful pollutants and allergens?

How do air purifiers work?

Home air purifiers are devices designed to remove pollutants from the air, such as smog, cigarette smoke, dust particles, and microorganisms, thereby improving the air quality in your home. A home air purifier draws in air, then filters it, and depending on the model, sometimes ionizes it, before releasing it back into the room. The operating principle of air purifiers is very simple yet highly effective. However, it's worth noting that the types of pollutants an air purifier removes depend on the filtering elements it contains. Most air purifiers are equipped with a fan and several types of purifying filters. Furthermore, for an air purifier to function properly, it should be placed in a location with good air circulation.

Air purifier – which one to choose?

At FormAdore, you'll find purifiers that solely clean the air, as well as models that combine air ionization or humidification functions. So, which air purifier should you choose?

• Air purifiers with an ionizer

Air purifiers with an ionization function release negative ions into the air, which capture and then destroy pollutant particles. Ionizing air purifiers for dust make air filtration more effective, and properly ionized air is clean, containing fewer pollutants, dust, and microorganisms, which positively impacts our health. It's worth adding that an air purification device equipped with an ionization option is the best air purifier for allergy sufferers.

• Air purifiers with a humidifier

An air purifier with a humidifier is a device that combines the function of purification, meaning removing various pollutants from the air, and humidification, i.e., raising the air humidity to an optimal level. Thanks to this solution, we can comprehensively take care of air quality, without the need to buy two separate devices.

Additionally, air purifiers are often equipped with extra features such as: automatic purification, air quality indicator, dust content indicator, or a timer.

What features should the best air purifier have?

When deciding to buy an air purifier, the first thing to pay attention to is the type of filters used. A good air purifier should have a HEPA filter, which removes the smallest and most dangerous pollutants. Most often, the HEPA filter is accompanied by a carbon filter responsible for eliminating unpleasant odors, as well as gases and volatile organic compounds.

The best air purifier must be efficient. The higher the efficiency and faster the airflow, the more effectively the device will purify the air from pollutants.

Furthermore, an air purification device should not be too noisy. It usually operates for several hours a day, so it is recommended that the noise level emitted should not exceed 35 dB.

An air purifier for an apartment should also be aesthetic and stylish because, to function well, it usually needs to be placed in a visible spot in the interior. At FormAdore, however, there's no shortage of air purifiers whose design can easily blend into any room's decor.
