The air purifier marketplace is a very mature one. That means there are a lot of well-established companies essentially offering the same products in different form factors and for different room sizes. That also means that air purifier manufacturers that can find a way to set themselves apart through innovative technologies, product designs, and form factors are going to stand out in the crowd of contenders.
Why would you even need an air purifier? Isn't the filter on your HVAC system enough? For some people, perhaps - but for those with pervasive airborne allergies, asthma, COPD, or any other host of respiratory conditions, a separate system is a must.

Alen air purifier products feature customizability with interchangeable color panels and different filter types. The smart sensor and indicator let you know if the air is clean or dirty. You get free shipping, a forever guarantee, and a 60-day return policy. Their air purifiers are visually customizable and quite attractive looking on their own. We give Alen our highest rating.
Blueair has a family of air purification products with advanced features like quiet operation, app-controlled settings via WiFi, and fast and thorough cleaning of the air via advanced filtration technology. Subscription filters helped push this brand close to our highest rating.
Dyson is an enormously popular brand not only for air purifiers but for vacuum cleaners, hair care devices, lighting, and even a new wearable air filtration system in the form of active noise-canceling headphones. However, their brand name does command higher prices and therefore a lower than first-place rating.
Bissell's air purifiers seem to stand on their own in terms of customer satisfaction, brand recognition, and loyalty. However they do have a smaller selection, so we couldn't give them a higher ranking over brands with more to choose from.
Coway was founded in 1989 and is now a global provider of air purification systems that focus on the health of homes, schools, hospitals and clinics, retail stores, and offices. They combine modern design with efficiency to help you breathe clean air. However, poorer customer service responses rank them lower in our book.
Honeywell air purifiers have good price points for multiple budget ranges. They have over 30 individual devices that cover a spectrum of features and functions. However, the large number of air purification variants they offer makes it hard to differentiate enough to know what to buy, and their customer service issues are troubling.
InvisiClean is a manufacturer of portable air purifiers. The units they sell are light and mainly for small to medium-sized rooms. Several models have multiple levels of filtration to cover everything from particles to viruses. The price points are also very reasonable. But, they don't seem to take customer service very seriously here.
Levoit carries a wide array of very affordable air purifiers for individual rooms in residential settings or offices. It doesn't include the typically larger-coverage air purification systems that other manufacturers do. Prices are good, but the overall design aesthetic on these air purifiers is boring.
iQAir developed a range of air purification systems that include up to 6 levels of filtration depending on the speed of the fan plus three different filter types with unusually long times between having to change the filters. This fact led to some users testing the air purifiers and finding they were not doing a good enough job.
Winix air purifiers are pretty basic and uninteresting compared to the differentiated and specialized products we were used to from other manufacturers. Winix's selections seemed vanilla in both sizes and features.
We looked at a huge variety of brands and devices to compare their individual features across a number of factors including room size, filter technology, convenience and ease of operation, energy efficiency, innovation, and even aesthetics.
