Top 10 Best Air Purifiers 2017

Poor indoor air quality has been held responsible for a variety of illnesses and allergic reactions that are experienced by people everywhere. Instead of stocking up on the latest medications to mask symptoms, some people have decided to attack the problem at its source by purchasing equipment that will help them to clean the air that they and their loved ones breathe. Besides gaining better respiratory health, cleaning indoor air reduces unpleasant odors that are caused by cooking, smoking and pets. The following air cleaning systems use the latest technology to physically filter out irritating particulates and eliminate health destroying bacteria, viruses and mold.

The filtration system of the GermGuardian AC4825, 3-in-1 Air Cleaning System catches over 99 percent of physical airborne pollutants down to three tenths of a micron in size. Additionally, the air cleaning system uses ultraviolet (UV) light technology to destroy the DNA and reproductive functions of bacteria and viruses which renders them harmless.

The appliance’s ionizer produces negative ions that allow the air purifier to remove pollutants from indoor air. The ionizer also has a filtration system that includes a washable permanent electrostatic dust collector rod and charcoal filter; the appliance needs no replacement filters which equates to significant cost savings for long term use. The ultra quiet air cleaning system has two speed functions to control air circulation.
