The following are the main reasons for buying a Purifier:

1. Asthma

Using an air purifier to treat asthma has shown to have many benefits.  Asthma is caused by the irritation of the lungs by particles such as dust mites, pollen and particles from pollution.  Depending on what the cause of the asthma, purifiers can help to remove any particles from the air.

One of the main benefits of an air purifier over other forms of treatment is the user just has to switch it on and forget about it. A asthma sufferer should look at reviews that highlight purifiers that are specially aimed at removing the cause of their illness.

2. Pollen – Hay fever

Like asthma suffers, people with hay fever need to remove pollen from the air. Pollen causes these people to have an allergic reaction. Hay fever sufferers should look out for reviews that highlight the pollen removing properties of a purifier.

Technology review:

Once you know what you need from a air purifier, it’s time to look at what technology is best.  The main purifier technology is HEPA, Ionizing and UV. HEPA works by using a polymer/paper filter to physically stop pollutant particles from passing through. When reading reviews for HEPA purifiers its worth checking how much air they can deal with in an hour. Larger rooms will obviously require a unit with a large air intake whilst a bedroom unit can be smaller. The downside of a HEPA unit is that the filters need changing and can be expensive. Makes sure that you find out how much each filter costs and how often they need changing.

Ionization air purifiers are cheaper in the long run but you still need to compare prices before making any purchase.
