Buying guide

What to look for

01

Match the model exactly

Each purifier takes its own filter, and similar names don't mean they fit. Check the model on the purifier's label against the 'Fits' line.

02

Genuine over copies

Copies sell under the same part numbers. The makers' rated clean air, and some filter-life sensors, are for their own filters.

03

Change it on time

Most last 6–12 months, sooner through smoke or a smoggy winter. A gray filter and a stuffier room are the signs.

Questions

How often should I replace my air purifier filter?
Most HEPA filters last 6–12 months by the makers' guidance; carbon pre-filters, about every 3 months. Heavy smoke or smog shortens both.
Are cheaper third-party filters OK?
Some fit, but their filtration isn't verified. The makers' CADR ratings are for their own filters, and some purifiers' filter-life sensors expect them.
Can I wash a HEPA filter?
No. Washing ruins a HEPA filter's fibres. Only the pre-filter, where a purifier has a washable one, can be rinsed.
