Product Information

The best air purifiers use activated carbon filters will remove the Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) that cause smells. That could be a musty smell, the particulates from a scented candle, or aerosol. How do I get the right size air purifier for my room? Air quality sensor with colour-coded indicator monitors particle levels in the air and visually displays the air quality in real time The Braun Scan & Clean BFD104BE is an air purifier that is specifically designed for smaller spaces such as a bedroom or home office. This air purifier is able to filter out impurities from the air that may affect the health and wellbeing of individuals. The device boasts an efficient HEPA filter that effectively captures particles such as dust, pollen, and smoke in the air. It also features an activated carbon filter which reduces bad odours.

But what should you be looking for when you shop for the best air purifier? To help decode the often confusing array of technical terms associated with air purifiers, we've enlisted the help of Lars Dunberger, Technology Development Manager at Blueair, a Swedish manufacturer that specialises in air quality products. First up, CADR... Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) Dust pre-filter – think of air filtration as sifting sand on a beach. You want to remove the large pebbles first with a big sieve before using a finer one. Otherwise, the fine filter gets clogged up. Despite its relatively affordable price point, this model offers a pre-filter to capture large particles such as dust, lint, fibers, hair, and pet fur, a HEPA filter that traps fine dust, smoke particles, and allergens such as pollen and pet dander, and a carbon filter that works to neutralise smoke, fumes, VOCs, and household odours such as cooking smells and pet odours. The lower section of this cylindrical air purifier is wrapped in what the brand calls a fabric 'pre-filter', designed not only to look attractive but also to catch larger particles and extend the life of the primary filter inside. You can vacuum the fabric outer or pop it in the wash to clean it.According to the brand, the body of the briiv air filter unit is made 'completely from bioplastics derived from Elephant Grass with a bespoke and toughened recyclable glass display zone'. This zero plastic air purifier also utilises natural filters which biodegrade when disposed of, as opposed to the more common HEPA filters which briiv says 'are made out of fibreglass and other microplastics' and can therefore contaminate the environment. Naturally, air purifiers with a higher CADR, intended for use in larger areas, will have a higher power consumption than air purifiers for smaller areas. For this reason, the power consumption should always be compared to the CADR performance of the unit. A common way to compare the power consumption of different air purifiers is to look at or calculate the CADR/Watt measurement. The higher CADR/W, the better the efficiency'. Noise levels CLEANER AIR AT HOME: The triple filtration system removes up to 99.9% of ultrafine particles, like mould spores and allergens invisible to the eye; (

CADR is an industry-standard measure defined by the independent Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) in the U.S. Certified and verified by an independent laboratory, CADR provides consumers with a reliable way to compare the efficiency of different air purifiers'. This small air purifier uses hypochlorous acid (HOCl),a naturally occurring molecule created using non-iodized salt, water, and electrolysis, to clean, deodorize, and humidify dry air. A higher CADR rating means that the air purifier can clean the air faster, making it more efficient. An air purifier with a low CADR rating may not be as effective in removing pollutants from the air. CADR is a standardized measure that allows you to compare air purifiers of different sizes. The AHAM recommends a CADR rating of at least 2/3 of the room's area'. Removal rate Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) is a measure of an air purifier's efficiency in cleaning the air in a particular room. CADR measures an air purifier’s effectiveness based on room space and the volume of clean air it produces per minute. This shows how well dust, pollen, and smoke, the three most common indoor air pollutants are removed from the air that you breathe', says Lars Dunberger. Our testers found the top control panel to be very user-friendly, with an auto mode that uses the built-in sensor to adjust filter speed accordingly, and a handy digital display on the top that gives you real-time information on air quality levels.The Meaco MeacoClean CA-HEPA 76x5 air purifier is a really great all-rounder which, despite not topping the other appliances on this list in areas like CADR, power consumption or quiet operation, performed solidly in our tests. Our full DH Lifelabs Aaira Mini air purifier review has more detail. How to choose the best air purifier Yes, dust and pollen are some of the largest particles likely to be in the air, so most air purifiers will manage to capture and filter out a good amount of dust particulate from the air.
