Not all air purifiers are created equal. Knowing what to look for ensures your investment is doing the work it should.

"Air purifiers are everywhere right now. Walk into any home goods store or spend a few minutes scrolling online and you will see countless machines promising cleaner air, fewer allergens, and a healthier home. With so many models, technologies, and price points on the market, it can quickly become difficult to understand what actually matters when choosing one.

According to mold and air quality expert Michael Rubino,  founder of HomeCleanse and co-founder and Chair of Change the Air Foundation, the goal is not simply to buy a purifier. The goal is to choose a machine that can meaningfully improve the air inside your home and do so consistently over time.

“The ultimate goal is to choose a machine that eliminates as many contaminants as possible from the space, and it’s set up to do so consistently, not just sometimes,” Rubino explains. A purifier should not simply remove pollutants occasionally. Ideally, it should circulate and clean the air in the room continuously so contaminants are consistently being filtered out of the environment."
