Air Purifier VS Dehumidifier: Which One Is Better?

A Beginner's Guide to Choosing Air Purifier and Dehumidifier

You are wondering what the best air filters for your home are. Do you need an air purifier? Or air humidifiers? How do they differ from each other? Which one is better?

The answer depends on the usage, purpose, and location. Air purifiers clean the air and trap pollutants and allergens, which enhances air quality. In contrast, a dehumidifier's goal is to alter the humidity levels of indoor air and remove any excess moisture.

An air purifier might be best if you have health conditions such as allergies, asthma, or other respiratory illnesses, as you'll need the cleanest air to breathe. This will be helpful if you live in an area with high outdoor pollution or with someone who smokes.

If you want to eliminate dampness and musty odor, a dehumidifier should work for you. A dehumidifier helps lower your home's temperature and reduce mold growth indoors, especially with high humidity.

Adulting 101: All for Air Purifiers

There are many reasons why you need an air purifier at home. No matter the season, clean air is vital for your overall physical and mental health. An air purifier is also a worthwhile investment, especially for people more sensitive to dust and germs.

Benefits:

An air purifier helps in managing indoor air quality. Several types and sizes of these home essentials are available in the market. If you are still thinking about whether to get one for your home or not, these reasons will help you decide:

1.) Sanitizes and filters air - Air purifiers can sanitize the air and filter harmful chemicals, including pollutants and toxins. Our furry friends also carry shredded hair and dander that may trigger allergies or asthma for others.

2.) Enhances productivity - Are air purifiers for home use only? Office air may affect an employee's cognitive abilities, productivity, and efficiency. Poor indoor air quality affects health and diminishes the cognitive function of office workers.

3.) Reduces risk of catching viruses - Studies show that air purifiers with high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters - are powerful enough to trap up to 99.95% of particles, including bacteria, viruses, dust, and pollution.

Which air purifier is perfect for you?

Choosing the best air purifier model depends on how big or small your space is and how their filters perform. Here's a Mang Johnny-approved checklist of what you need to look at when buying an air purifier:

1.) Concentrate on the cleaner's data.

If you think purchasing expensive cleaners is better than sticking to budget-friendly ones, think again. Consider an air purifier's air change per hour (ACH) rate if you have allergies. ACH refers to the number of times an air purifier can filter the entire air volume in the treatment space per hour. It's also advisable to check the clean air delivery rate (CADRs) and the importance of clean air that an air purifier produces on its highest speed setting. The higher the CADR, the faster and more efficient the air purifier is.

2.) Consider noise level.

 You must check the noise rating of an air purifier. Ideally, an air purifier must have 50 decibels equal to a refrigerator's hum. The ACO air purifiers have an ultra-quiet feature suitable for people who want a serene environment.

3.) Look for outstanding properties.

Air purifiers are designed primarily to purify the air in a room. This is why replacement filters are a must-have at home. HEPA filters can last about one year, depending on the usage. Carbon filters typically last six (6) months; pre-filters should be replaced after three (3) months, but others are washable for long-term filtration.

4.) Choose the right size.

When choosing the right size of air purifiers, the square footage of the room where they will be placed must be considered. The ACO purifiers are applicable for rooms up to 14 to 24 m3 (cubic meters). They are designed for medium to large areas, ensuring that air purifiers thoroughly clean the air and filter microscopic allergens to keep your breathing accessible.
