10 Best Air Purifiers And Allergies 2021 – What Is The One For Your Home

Image by Free-Photos from Pixabay

I learned something really important recently about air purifiers and allergies – that a purifier – a machine that cleans the air – isn’t enough to eliminate smoke particles. What are the best air purifiers and allergies removal machines?

In light of the catastrophic wild fires we have all over the world now, everyone needs a particle filter and an air purifier.

Although you already have one, no, two. Every human being is born with built in air filters. Your lungs!

Yet, you can’t rinse out the dust from them. You can’t remove the toxic gases from VOC’s, fire retardants, pesticides, fabric conditioners and color fasteners, bleaches and household cleaners.

In fact, it is like your lungs have a big Welcome! sign while they take in all those harmful things.

Nor can you order a new pair. At least, that is rare.

Your lungs can get clogged up beyond what coughing will eject. Then they can become inflamed and permanently congested.

And you can prevent that to a large degree.

And here is another factor I just read about – toxic air can make you fat!

Studies have been done on both children and rats. In the children, no artificial was created, but kids who lived in more polluted areas tended to be at least two pounds heavier on the same diet.

Rats exposed to heavy smog type air were 18% heavier than rats given clean air. Why?

Because toxins wreck havoc on your hormones, resulting in weight gain, insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome – inability to lose weight.

A good air purifier/filter machine is like an external pair of lungs – or several more pairs, depending on the size.

Update: A friend recommended this to me today while we were chatting. Since the concerns about sanitation during the Covid-19 pandemic affect us all, I wanted to add this to the page here.

Customers like this item because:

It kills mold/mildew in the air handler coils
Greatly reduces sneezing and other allergy symptoms
Clean air makes the whole house smell fresh

Helps with peace of mind in this time of Covid-19

I say go for it! Get better sleep, better oxygenation, better moods! Recently I decided to add this item on this page, because so many need a ready to grab and go nebulizer.

So here is the 10 best air purifiers and allergies relief list 2020. It will help you choose one for your home.

Last summer there were no wildfires in my immediate region. However, the smoke traveled into our area and it was necessary to wear a mask.

I had an air purifier then, but no particulate filter.

If you have respiratory allergies, you need both (and you can get them in one machine). I will outline why, in discussing the machines in this article.

When considering price, work out the cost of replacing filters, and how often, when looking at a cheaper machine. The more expensive ones may weigh in as a better buy when you do the math.

IQAir [HealthPro Plus Air Purifier] Medical-Grade Air [HyperHEPA Filter] – Allergies, Pets, Asthma, Odors, Smoke, Pollen, Dust; Swiss Made

Special features:

This machine comes with a Medical-Grade Air Filter and is 100 times more efficient than HEPA air filters

What Are Ultrafines?

The vendor explains:

“Ultrafines are the smallest, most numerous, and most harmful particles in the air. They comprise ~90% of all airborne particles.
Ultrafines (including viruses) easily penetrate the lung tissue and travel to all vital organs, including the brain.
Ultrafines have been linked to heart attacks, strokes, asthma and even cancer.”

There is more to learn everyday, isn’t there?

Was there ever pure clean air here on earth? Was that before man discovered fire? Maybe.

Now we here on this beautiful planet have reached a tipping point. Uncontrolled fossil fuel burn has advanced our civilization beyond the wildest dreams of 200 years ago.

Now we pay the price. We must clean up.

And we can only start at home, right?

I believe this machine is the one to do it. It is expensive. But it is a lot cheaper than the related diseases mentioned above, and not just financially.

The filters can be cleaned as they accumulate dust. This prolongs their life considerably. (see the Q&A on amazon).

Five Star raters state they last 2-4 years anyway. That’s good to know!

This unit is considered the best.

It has a timer feature for 2-4-8 hour run times.

It is 100% Ozone Free. I don’t have a problem with ozone, but there has been relentless propaganda against its use.

Of course, if you can smell ozone from an air cleaner, you turn down the level until you don’t smell it! Simple.

Yet since the earlier days of air cleaners which all used ozone, there is such an impressive improvement in air filter/purifier designs, that the ozone argument doesn’t really matter any more.

My personal choice is the first one on this page, albeit expensive.

Always click through to Amazon to see if there is a financing plan for the one you want. It may be better than putting it on your credit card. Sometimes getting a new reward card will take $100 of the price.

The following article expounds on the need for an air purifier.

Air Purifiers for the Home: Why You Need One by Kelley Kennedy

“Air quality and breathability within your home is a serious concern. For some people with certain respiratory conditions, such as allergies or asthma, clean air in their homes is a non-negotiable. Otherwise they simply cannot breathe comfortably. It may be scary to note that government agencies such as the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) frequently report that indoor air can be more polluted than the air outside. Whether you have a health condition or not, you could definitely benefit from breathing cleaner air with the help of air purifiers for your home.

Benefits of an Air Purifier
One of the main benefits of air purifiers is simple – you can actually breathe more easily. How do these devices work? Air cleaners use filters (also called collector grids) to purify the air inside your home. You might be surprised but microscopic allergens like dust, mold, mildew, pet dander, pollen, and chemical pollutants frequently “live” in the same indoor area as you do. And air pollutants can come from practically any source – furniture, rugs, carpets, toys, pets, even common household cleaning products.

If you suffer from allergies, you already know that microscopic, invisible-to-the eye particles can make it miserable to breathe. Symptoms you may experience include sneezing, watery eyes, difficulty in breathing, and a runny nose. While it is one thing to experience allergies outside, it is something entirely different to have to suffer in your own home. As far as other health concerns, children and the elderly are particularly susceptible to illness when they breathe unclean air.

Maybe you’re not dealing with uncomfortable health conditions exactly. Maybe you are just sensitive to strong, hard smells or offensive odors. Simple things like leftover food odors, cigarette smoke, and dog or cat smell can be enough to drive your olfactory senses insane. The great thing about air purifiers is the ability to remove the offensive smells and leave your air feeling cleaner and fresher.

Types of Air Purifiers for the Home

UV: UV stands for ultraviolet light – and you guessed it – this kind of air cleaner uses UV lights to destroy microorganisms like bacteria, mold, and viruses. While you might deduce that this kind of high-tech purifier is the best choice for your home, also consider that these devices have limited functionality, specifically there are many different kinds of pollutants it cannot remove from the air. Because of this little fact, some people choose to use this kind of purifier in conjunction with another. Some well-known brand names for UV air purifiers include Ionic Breeze and AllerAir.
Ionizing: This type of air cleaner uses a different process to cleanse the air – an ion generator. Electric charge from the ion generate causes pollutants to bind together. Once bound together, the micro-particles form large particles. These purifiers typically come with a collector plate because otherwise the particles will stick to every surface of your home and cause another problem – dirt. Some examples of ionizing air purifiers are the Surround Air and the Ionic Pro.
HEPA: This kind of air cleansing device earns a reputation as one of the best for its efficiency. Scientific studies have revealed that HEPA cleaners are responsible for removing 99.97% of air pollutants. Many sufferers from asthma or allergies use these as devices of choice. Some popular choices are Blueair, Hunter QuietFlo, and Honeywell.

Did you know that air purifiers are effective at removing up to 99% of allergens and microorganisms that make you sick from the air – like pollen, mold spores, and dust mites?
