These days air purifiers are fast becoming a device that you need to have in your home to ensure living a healthy life. In their ability to purify the air of dust, pollens, animal dander, mold spores, smoke, allergens and microorganisms they are immensely beneficial in reducing symptoms of allergy and alleviating conditions of asthma.



These days there are literally hundreds of models of air purifiers available from different manufacturers. And as the saying goes, the more the choices that harder it is to choose. The best option would be to go through a few reviews before you settle for a particular model. That way you will be able to get the best purifier that suits your needs and inputs from experts who know what actually makes a good air purifier. There are quite a few reviews available on the internet going through which will help you in taking a decision.

Only trust those reviews that list both the pros and the cons of each of the models. They shouldn't be promoting one purifier while trashing the others. In such a case, the reviews have to be biased.

Of the various air purifiers available today in the market we here have selected a few to give you a review of the most popular air purifiers. We will be reviewing Oreck Super Air 8, Sharper Image Ionic Breeze GP, Friedrich C-90A, and Blueair 601.

Oreck Super Air 8 is overall a pretty decent model with little noise, efficient cleaning and a good capacity. So it can effectively clean a large area and is relatively inexpensive. It also has a pretty strong warranty.

Sharper Image Ionic Breeze GP comes with an additional UV lamp which helps to tackle the problem of germs. Being an ionic purifier it is relatively quieter, and it also comes with a five year warranty. The Sharper Image Ionic Breeze GP has been approved by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America to be specially effective against airborne allergens and irritants including dust mite allergen, pet dander and cigarette smoke.

Friedrich C-90A is effective as far as cleaning and efficiency goes. However, it can appear to be a bit noisy for some people and is also a bit on the expensive side.

Blueair 601 is particularly effective against odors and gases with activated carbon filters inside it. It is also easier on our pocket and comes with a 10 year warranty.
