Russell Hobbs RHAP2001B Ozone Free Compact Air Purifier, Captures Bacteria, HEPA Filter for 99.5% of Particles, Air Cleaner for Allergies, Odour, Dust, Smoke, Multi Colour LED Display, Black

Product Information

Otherwise, this has the same advantages as the smaller version: effective three-stage filtering, a built-in humidifying function and Sharp’s Plasmacluster ion technology, which – while it sounds like a weapon from a Halo game – works to kill odours, bacteria and mould. While the Vax PureAir 300 gives you even more airflow and covers larger rooms for less, the Sharp hits a sweet spot for price, performance and features, making it a great mid-range purifier for mid-sized rooms.

Spending more will get you something quieter with more power, but this is a decent little purifier for a small lounge, home office or bedroom if you’re working on a similarly sized budget.

Speed settings. Most air purifiers have a choice of speeds so you can keep it lower for sleeping and turn it up when the pollen count is high. A night mode can also help if you want a quiet setting and dimmer lights while you sleep, although we found this doesn’t always work as well as you’d hope.

What about a carry handle? These are handy if you need to move it from room to room. Wheels, a compact design and a low weight won’t go amiss here, either. We’re not sure how well that works in practice, but the UA-HD40U-L is impressively efficient at filtering out impurities and very quiet at its automatic and low-power settings. A strip on the top turns from red to orange to green to indicate the current air quality, and there’s a humidity readout so you can monitor humidity levels, although both this and the “ion shower” feature can be turned off if you just want air purification. Well designed and easy to use, this is a great air purifier for smaller rooms.

Even without all the smart stuff, this is an easy purifier to use. Clear indicators show the current mode and power setting, while a central ring glows blue through to red, depending on the current air quality readings. You can pretty much leave it on the Automatic setting and let it do its thing. It can get a little noisy at its highest speeds, peaking at 52.7dB in Turbo mode, but we measured a very reasonable 28dB in Sleep mode. YEAR GUARANTEE - We've got you covered.

Sharp UA-HD50U-L: Best purifier and humidifier for mid-sized rooms You’re more likely to know Acer for its PCs, laptops or monitors, but its foray into air purifiers shows a lot of promise. The Pro P2 is a mid-sized tower – just under 58cm tall – with the top accommodating the fan’s grille, the minimal controls, and a 1.5in square OLED colour screen. The latter gives you the current PM2.5 reading, plus an at-a-glance air quality indicator, with the text turning from green through amber to magenta as it worsens. Noise is another factor – you don’t want to replace one irritation (allergies) with another (the sound of a jet plane in your room). For many, the hum is something that doesn’t bother them, but some purifiers can get very noisy. It’s also worth remembering that, while some machines are quiet on their lowest setting (where they’re often at their least effective), they might be loud on the fastest (where they’re working at their best).

A few high-end units double as humidifiers, managing the moisture in the air to prevent dry air causing irritation to the nose, throat, lips and skin. It’s just as good as an air purifier too, though its CADR rating is slightly below that of the purifier-only Pro P2. In tests, it took PM2.5 levels from a maximum 411 micrograms per square metre to 25 in 135 seconds, bringing it down to double figures in just over a minute. Again like the Pro P2, it’s quiet, with the noise barely noticeable at the lowest speed in purifier mode. Left on Smart mode, with the front-facing display turned off, all but the lightest sleepers should be able to sleep through.

The best air purifiers for larger rooms 1. Hoover H-Purifier 500: Best quiet purifier for larger rooms This product comes with a free one year manufacturer guarantee. A free second year guarantee is available upon registering your product. Features and Benefits The CADR aims to provide an objective measure of the effectiveness of a portable air purifier at dealing with different types of allergens. A purifier with a score of 250 for dust particles is as effective as adding 250 cubic feet of clean air per minute. Buyers should focus on the results of the specific pollutant they’re aiming to eradicate, whether that’s pollen, smoke or dust, and many manufacturers will supply CADR figures for the most common. The icing on the cake is excellent performance. In our standard anti-perspirant spray test, the DustMagnet got us down to safe levels within two minutes, with most of the work being done within the first 60 seconds. And while we had our doubts about its claims of capturing airborne dust before it settles, we did notice a lower build-up over a couple of days of testing. Normally we wouldn’t want to leave it on so long, but with the DustMagnet using around 4W to 10W when set to Auto, power consumption is relatively low. Quiet, efficient and effective, it’s the perfect purifier for your living room.

What we really like about this purifier, however, is that it’s both effective and pretty quiet about it. At full tilt, it’s as noisy as most rival air purifiers, but in its sleep mode you’d struggle to hear it above ambient sound levels – we measured the output at just 31dBA. In our deodorant spray test, the H-Purifier 500 got the PM2.5 concentration down to safe levels within two minutes and eight seconds, and Hoover’s three-filter purification system has been approved by the Allergy UK charity. We’re not 100% sure about the option to add essential oils to the airflow, but the options include an H-Biotics bottle that adds probiotic “good” bacteria to the atmosphere. All in all, it’s a superior purifier that’s perfect for mid-sized and larger rooms, with a price tag that won’t leave you gasping. Filter replacement indicators aren’t crucial and not all air purifiers have them, but this is a helpful feature as a clogged air cleaner won’t work properly. Please note some larger products are delivered to kerb-side (the street outside your home), it is at the drivers discretion if they can deliver the item to another location on the property. This is one of those rare dual-function appliances that’s effective at both, and if the only downside is that it’s a bit weird looking, then that’s not exactly hard to live with. Throw in smart features, a good remote, and fairly frugal power consumption, and it’s a great addition to your living room or bedroom.
