Size the purifier to the room
A small purifier can make sense in a bedroom or office but struggle in a large open-plan space. Check the manufacturer's recommended room size and think about where the machine can sit without blocking airflow.
Filter replacement is part of the purchase price. Before buying, check that replacement filters are easy to find and realistically priced.
Purifiers help with particles, not every air problem
An air purifier can reduce airborne particles when correctly sized and maintained, but it does not replace ventilation, moisture control or fixing the source of mould and damp.
