How to choose the right air purifier for you

When you study the best air purifiers used at home, you will see the term "HEPA" again and again.Some air purifiers use HEPA filters, while others may use terms like "hepa-like" or "hepa-style."Which of these terms are you looking for, and which are just marketing terms?We'll take a closer look at what HEPA really means, what filters need to do to meet the standards, and what manufacturers really mean when they call their products "hepa-like."

HEPA (High Efficiency particle Arrestance) air purifiers, in general, have been very effective in reducing particle pollution in your home.Air purifiers capture particles of air that are normally invisible to the naked eye by wrapping small particles in a dense layer of fine fibers.

High efficiency particulate air (HEPA) vacuums differ from conventional vacuums in that they contain filters capable of capturing particles of very small micron size.A true HEPA filter can capture 99.97% of air particles larger than 0.3 micron.To illustrate how small it is, human red blood cells are typically between 6 and 8 microns wide.
