Best UV Air Purifier

This Oransi Finn purifier is sleek in design, and ultra-quiet. The noise levels range from 40 dB in the lowest fan speed setting, rising to 60 dB when the fan is on the highest setting. That’s the same level as listening to an air conditioning unit from a distance of 100 ft.

It has a room coverage of 400 sq ft, which is about the size of a 20’ x 20’ room, and it is fitted with a filter indicator that alerts you when the filter needs changing. And speaking of filters, don’t expect that it needs replacing every couple of months; this model has a HEPA filter with a 2-3-year lifespan.

It is also supplied with 2 spare pre-filters for free, meaning that you won’t have to worry about replacing them for a good while yet.

This unit is economical too, drawing a mere 55 watts, so it’s kind to the environment and your wallet.

It has an airflow of 140, which is speed 3 on the CADR, and the company are so certain that you will love this purifier, they give you a 10-year warranty to back up their confidence in their product. Given that most purifiers offer a 3 to 5-year warranty, that has to make this an industry best!

The InvisiClean Aura Air Purifier is another lightweight console air purifier that comes with a very modest price tag. It uses an effective 4-stage air purification system that starts with a carbon pre-filter to remove large debris and odors. That’s followed by a True HEPA filter capable of removing up to 99.97% of pollutants as small as 0.3 microns. Finally, you have an optional ionizer for added efficiency against airborne contaminants and a powerful UV-C light treatment to kill disease- and odor-causing bacteria and viruses.

The Aura has a robust air purification system to tackle all types of air pollutants. However, aside from its cleaning power, the Aura also has significant room coverage of 300 sq. ft, which is a big advantage considering how affordable it is.

It also has a pretty decent CADR rating and airflow rate. In addition, it has several helpful features like a filter change indicator, preset timer, and sleep mode. All these features, while not critical to the performance of an air purifier, make its use and maintenance a lot more convenient.

Despite these perks, the Aura still lacks other features that might have made it an even better air purifier. For example, it doesn’t have an air quality indicator or an auto mode like the SilverOnyx.

Also, its replacement filters are a little pricey. Customers have also complained that the Aura makes a considerable amount of noise, even on the lowest setting, which may be a problem for those who want to use it at night.

Overall, though, the Aura is a pretty solid contender as it offers considerable room coverage, a thorough air purification system, sleek design, and is packed with features at a very reasonable price.

This Surround Air Multi-Tech is a 5 in 1 air purifier; it has a pre-filter, a true HEPA filter, a UV light, an activated carbon filter, and a photocatalytic filter.

The UV light feature fights allergens and bacteria that cause illnesses like TB, and under tests, in a 3072 cubic-foot chamber, it was shown to reduce bacteria by up to 80 percent.

It has a handy filter change indicator for added convenience, and to take the guesswork out of replacement, and the UV lamp is good for over 3 years worth of continuous use.

On the lowest fan setting, the Multi-Tech has a noise level of 30 dB, rising to 50 dB when on the highest setting; the equivalent of a hushed conversation. The coverage is impressive too, at over 500 sq ft, making this one of the most powerful purifiers on the list.

Like the Oransi, this purifier draws a meager 55 watts, which is good for the planet and the pocket, and because the UV light operates on a germicidal wavelength, it is recommended by the Center for Disease Control and the Air Institute of Respiratory Education.

Despite the impressive purifying qualities this machine offers, it doesn’t have a night setting to reduce the glare of the LED display, which might disturb your sleep. Many have complained that it is unsuitable for bedrooms and nurseries, especially if you are light-sensitive and require a dark environment to get a good night’s sleep.

This Pure Zone Elite is a 4 in 1 purifier, with an activated carbon pre-filter, a true HEPA filter, a UV-C light, and an ionizer.

It has a smart air quality monitor which detects particles in the atmosphere and reports the results as color-coded lights on the display. Blue is good air quality, amber (or orange) is fair, and red means the air quality is poor. It then automatically adjusts the fan speed to improve the quality of the air.

As air purifiers go, this is the ultimate in set and forget!

This Pure Zone has a CADR and airflow of 120 cfm, and it has a coverage of 190 sq ft, which isn’t the most significant room coverage on the list, but should still cleanse the air in an average size bedroom or office.

The intuitive control panel allows you to set the timer for 2, 4, and 6 hours, and it has a filter reset indicator to make life that much easier when it’s time to replace the filter.

This unit is economical, drawing a mere 46 watts of power, and this purifier also has an impressive 5-year warranty, giving you the peace of mind that you should get years of trouble-free use without fretting about it not working.

On the downside, this purifier is a little noisy, making it unsuitable for the bedroom or nursery. That said, if you can handle a little “White noise” you should still consider this purifier, especially if you have a small space like an office, that needs clean air.
