Be sure to check out even more ways to control allergens and air irritants in your home, including using a top-rated dehumidifier to remove moisture from muggy summer air. Once you’ve read our reviews, you can find details on how we test air purifiers, plus everything you need to know when choosing the best model for your home, at the bottom of this guide. But when combined with IAQ best practices - like regular vacuuming and controlling indoor humidity levels throughout the year - the following top-rated air purifiers can help make your home healthier.
Keep in mind that an air purifier on its own can’t give your home perfect indoor air quality (IAQ). While an air purifier's ability to remove contaminants is the most important criterion, our experts also consider such factors as ease of use, maintenance and operating costs, the same way we do with other air treatment equipment, like humidifiers, portable air conditioners and dehumidifiers. Testing takes place in labs at the Institute and in consumer testers' homes, allowing us to evaluate the devices in real-world conditions.
