Air Purifiers
Air purifiers compared on the numbers that decide it: AHAM Verifide CADR versus the marketing square footage, the air-change rate that figure is quoted at, yearly filter cost, ozone and ioniser status, and noise at both ends.
We compare 12 air Purifiers from 11 brands — IKEA, Levoit, Coway, Medify Air, Winix, Honeywell and 5 more — priced from $49.99 to $1,014.99. Each one is scored across 8 categories (Coverage-Claim Honesty, Verified Clean-Air Delivery, Filtration Quality and others), calculated from published specifications rather than opinion, which is what makes the 26 head-to-head comparisons below directly comparable.
