Which air purifier to choose for an apartment? Top-10 by Onlíner orders

Air purifiers and air washers. What's the difference?

The ranking features three types of devices:

Air purifiers pass air through dry filters that trap small dust, pollen, and other allergens. They are especially useful during smog, smoking, and pollen season. Some models with carbon filters also help reduce unpleasant odors. These devices do not increase humidity.

Air washers humidify the air through natural evaporation and trap some dust on a water-moistened filter.

Climate complexes combine air humidification and purification using separate fine filtration filters.

It's essential to understand: an air purifier is not a vacuum cleaner. It passes air through filters, capturing small particles, including PM2.5 from outdoor smog, smoke, and some allergens. However, dust that has already settled on shelves, cabinets, and floors is practically not removed by the device - regular cleaning is needed for that.

Brand ranking

Half of the orders for air purifiers and air washers in the Onlíner catalog went to Xiaomi - the brand took first place with a 50% share. IClima took second place with a 13% share, while other manufacturers lag significantly behind: none of them have a share of over 6%.

Now let's look at which air washers and purifiers were most frequently purchased in the Onlíner catalog from the beginning of autumn and what experiences owners of these devices share in their reviews.

After 10 days of work at 10-14 hours a day, not even a small dust deposit appeared on the filter, although I have quite a lot of dust at home.

The drawbacks here are the same as those of similar models: fairly expensive replacement filters and noticeable noise at high air filtration speeds.
