Compare Air Purifier Brands

There are many different types of air purifiers and even more brands of air purifiers, filters, and cleaners on the market. No single air purifier can remove all types of contaminants. Different brands and models often use varying technologies to target specific contaminant groups and accordingly, one purifier that is excellent at removing one class of contaminant may be poor at removing another. Selecting a brand of air purifier is largely a function of what contaminants you want to remove the most and the quality of system you desire and can afford.

We have scoured the market to find a line-up of air purifiers that we feel offer the best overall value for our customers. Within these brands, it is still important that you select a system that is most appropriate for specific air quality concerns. In some cases, a combination of air purifiers may be the best choice. We highly recommend that you use our Model Selector to obtain a recommendation of a brand and model best suited to your situation.

We currently carry the following brands:

Austin Air
Austin Air produces several of our most popular room air filters. Austin's air purifiers are well regarded for their exceptional value, long-filter life, economical operation costs, and all-purpose allergen, odor, and chemical contaminant removal. Austin offers 3 primary filter options in 2 sizes which offer a reasonably targeted approach for most major contaminant types. However, for certain filtration tasks, a more targeted filter may be more desirable. Austin air purifiers are recommended for individuals looking for a medical-grade air purifier at an economical price.

Airpura
Airpura air purifiers are similar in many respects to the Austin air models, except they offer greater filter options for more specific air cleaning tasks, and have a higher air handling rate. All Airpura models are based on the same primary platform, but use different filters to focus on specific groups of contaminants. By being slightly more specialized and targeted at the contaminants of greatest concern, Airpura air cleaners do cost a little more than a similar Austin Air system. However, compared to other air purifiers with comparable specialization, they are very affordable and offer excellent value. Due to the wide range of filter options, Airpura air purifiers are an excellent choice for individuals requiring specialized or targeted contaminant reduction.
