Product Information

This mid-sized model is perfect for small to medium-sized rooms up to 14m², such as your home office, bedroom or living space. At 40cm high and 20cm wide, it fits neatly in a corner, or can be placed on a desk or tabletop. The sleek, contemporary design, digital display and colour-changing LED lights ensure this model fits seamlessly into your surroundings whilst purifying the air around you. The lightweight 2.3kg body means it’s easy to move from room to room, so you can enjoy cleaner, purer air wherever you are. Speed settings. Most air purifiers have a choice of speeds so you can keep it lower for sleeping and turn it up when the pollen count is high. A night mode can also help if you want a quiet setting and dimmer lights while you sleep, although we found this doesn’t always work as well as you’d hope. It’s really designed for small spaces of around 10m², but we found its performance better than the 80m³/h CADR might imply. Spraying antiperspirant into a small room with the purifier at maximum speed, the Clean Air Compact brought PM2.5 particulates down to safe levels within three minutes and six seconds. At that speed it’s fairly noisy, with sound levels reaching around 48dBA, but in general use the lowest setting will be fine, and this takes the noise levels down to 36.2dBA, where the sound is noticeable but hardly aggravating.

What we really like about this purifier, however, is that it’s both effective and pretty quiet about it. At full tilt, it’s as noisy as most rival air purifiers, but in its sleep mode you’d struggle to hear it above ambient sound levels – we measured the output at just 31dBA. In our deodorant spray test, the H-Purifier 500 got the PM2.5 concentration down to safe levels within two minutes and eight seconds, and Hoover’s three-filter purification system has been approved by the Allergy UK charity. We’re not 100% sure about the option to add essential oils to the airflow, but the options include an H-Biotics bottle that adds probiotic “good” bacteria to the atmosphere. All in all, it’s a superior purifier that’s perfect for mid-sized and larger rooms, with a price tag that won’t leave you gasping. The CADR aims to provide an objective measure of the effectiveness of a portable air purifier at dealing with different types of allergens. A purifier with a score of 250 for dust particles is as effective as adding 250 cubic feet of clean air per minute. Buyers should focus on the results of the specific pollutant they’re aiming to eradicate, whether that’s pollen, smoke or dust, and many manufacturers will supply CADR figures for the most common. The best air purifiers for larger rooms 1. Hoover H-Purifier 500: Best quiet purifier for larger rooms The icing on the cake is excellent performance. In our standard anti-perspirant spray test, the DustMagnet got us down to safe levels within two minutes, with most of the work being done within the first 60 seconds. And while we had our doubts about its claims of capturing airborne dust before it settles, we did notice a lower build-up over a couple of days of testing. Normally we wouldn’t want to leave it on so long, but with the DustMagnet using around 4W to 10W when set to Auto, power consumption is relatively low. Quiet, efficient and effective, it’s the perfect purifier for your living room.What about a carry handle? These are handy if you need to move it from room to room. Wheels, a compact design and a low weight won’t go amiss here, either. Smart features allow you to operate your purifier remotely or switch it on and off according to a schedule. You may also get useful data on air quality, temperature, humidity and more. We’re not sure how well that works in practice, but the UA-HD40U-L is impressively efficient at filtering out impurities and very quiet at its automatic and low-power settings. A strip on the top turns from red to orange to green to indicate the current air quality, and there’s a humidity readout so you can monitor humidity levels, although both this and the “ion shower” feature can be turned off if you just want air purification. Well designed and easy to use, this is a great air purifier for smaller rooms. A few high-end units double as humidifiers, managing the moisture in the air to prevent dry air causing irritation to the nose, throat, lips and skin.

LED DISPLAY AND LIGHTING - Cleaner air is made simple with this easy-to-use air purifier. This model offers a timer option for 2, 4 or 8 hours, giving you complete control. It also features colour-changing LED lighting to suit any setting. Otherwise, this has the same advantages as the smaller version: effective three-stage filtering, a built-in humidifying function and Sharp’s Plasmacluster ion technology, which – while it sounds like a weapon from a Halo game – works to kill odours, bacteria and mould. While the Vax PureAir 300 gives you even more airflow and covers larger rooms for less, the Sharp hits a sweet spot for price, performance and features, making it a great mid-range purifier for mid-sized rooms.An air-quality sensor, which enables the machine to switch itself on when the air quality becomes poorer, can be useful. After all, you can’t see when the air quality dips, for example, as the result of a high pollen count. Filter replacement indicators aren’t crucial and not all air purifiers have them, but this is a helpful feature as a clogged air cleaner won’t work properly. YEAR GUARANTEE - We've got you covered.
