Buying Guide

If you have pets, you have pet dander in your home. Pet dander is an allergen, and it can cause things like runny nose, congestion, itchy or watery eyes, and general discomfort. Pet dander is very difficult to remove from your home because sweeping or vacuuming will cause the pet dander to go airborne.

This is where an air purifier comes in. As it cycles your room’s indoor air through the filter, it’ll trap and lock in the pet dander to improve your air quality. However, it has to have the right filtration system equipped. If it doesn’t, it can let the various allergens and small pet dander particles through the filter.

By the way, you can reduce the amount of allergens and hair right from the start by regularly grooming your dog. For this purpose, there are dog shampoos, a whole range of deshedding tools, even professional grooming tables for dogs if you want to get fancy. Of course, you can use your bathtub but there are dog bathtubs available as well. Lastly, if you find showering your pet difficult, you might want to try a shower head attachment.

Buying Considerations

So, what do you have to look for in your air purifier? Since many of them offer similar features, narrowing down your choices can take time. However, these buying considerations give you a definite list to remove any doubt you may have.

HEPA Filter

No matter what type of air purifier you but, make sure it has either a HEPA or True HEPA filter for at least one of the filter systems. Only a HEPA-rated filter will trap 99.97% of all airborne contaminants down to 0.3 microns in size. Other filters can let more pet dander and allergens through, and this makes them less effective.

Activated Carbon

An activated carbon filter will specifically trap and neutralize odors. Pets can cause a host of odors that linger around your home and seem to sink into everything. Usually, air purifiers have both a HEPA filter and an activated carbon one to tackle all of the unique contaminants that come with owning pets.

Room Size

Air purifiers are only powerful enough to clean indoor air up to a certain room size effectively. You’ll find this size as square feet on the box. To get the square footage of your room, measure the room’s length and width. Multiply these numbers by one another to get the square feet. If a room is 11 feet long by 15 feet wide, the square footage will be 165. Make sure your air purifier is strong enough to handle your room’s size.

Filter Costs

While your air purifier may be inexpensive, double-check the filters. If you have to replace them instead of rinsing or vacuuming them out, it can get very expensive. Also, check how difficult it is to find replacement filters. You’ll be able to buy a lot from Amazon, but some are more difficult to find.

Automatic Mode

If you’re not sure which speed to run the air purifier on, check for automatic mode. When you switch it on, sensors detect the air’s quality. They’ll adjust the power as needed throughout the day. This can remove a lot of the guesswork that comes with trying to figure out which speed to run the purifier.

Noise

All air purifiers produce some level of noise. However, it shouldn’t be loud enough to disrupt you as you go through your day. The air purifier will make more noise on higher settings. If it’s possible, look for an air purifier that has a night mode. This is a slightly quieter setting.

Warranty

Even if it’s not a very expensive purchase, check what the warranty covers and how long it lasts from the purchase date. You want something that covers routine wear and tear or damage. Some warranties can last for a year or two, but some manufacturers have warranties that last up to five years.

Brand

Your air purifier brand should have a good reputation for producing high-quality products. Their customer service should be reputable and easy to get in touch with if you need them. Take a few minutes and check online for different air purifier brands and see what people have to say about them.

Power Consumption

Your air purifier shouldn’t draw a lot of power to run, and it should run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If it has an energy star rating from the government, you know that the air purifier uses low amounts of energy. Also, check what voltage it runs on, and whether or not the air purifier needs any special outlet or an adapter to work.
