How are the air purifiers rated? There are certain key points that are considered while an air purifier is being rated.

Effectiveness - How effective is the unit compared to the cost. Does it do what it is supposed to? Price - Cost of unit compared to what it does. Annual Cost - How much energy does it use? How often do the filters need to be replaced? Noise Level - Since an air purifier is usually a permanent addition to ones home, it is important that its noise level is extremely low to non existent. Otherwise it simply becomes an annoyance. Ease of Use - It should be very simple to use and clean. Style/Size - Varies by model. Warrantee - A company should stand behind their product and there should be an excellent warranty if not a lifetime warrantee.

Before choosing a HEPA air purifier consider what you need it to do. If you are strictly suffering from allergens then it may not be necessary to pay on the higher end of the scale. Also consider how large of a unit is needed. With the multitude of excellent air purifiers on the market it will not be hard to find the one that is right for you.
