Portable Air Purifier - Keep Air Clean Everywhere You Go

Portable air purifiers offer some advantages over larger models - namely that they can be moved as needed. When air purification becomes particularly important because of allergies, sickness or contaminants, a localized solution could be your best bet. Note that if air flows freely between rooms, a single room purifier unit will not be able to fully clean the whole house.

Purchasing a portable air purifier

Some things to consider:
- Both ionizing and electronic air purifiers produce ozone which can be a lung irritant.
- Odors can only be eliminated when an activated carbon component is present.
- If a collector is not included in the design, ion generators may cause the walls to become dirty.
- Although some portable filters are quieter than others, the noise may be disturbing.
- Consider maintenance costs as part of the total cost of purchasing a purifier.

To be most effective place the portable cleaner near the source of contaminants so that the cleaned air is forced into the room or area you want. Make sure inlets and outlets are not blocked by walls or furniture.

For best results make sure the air purifier is being used according to the manufacturers directions. Avoid electrical and mechanical hazards and check to see that the unit has been listed with a recognized independent safety testing laboratory.
