For users who know about the hassles of maintaining air purifiers this feature of the Friedrich C-90A will come as a wonderful surprise: its filter cells are washable and re-usable. This reduces the need and cost to replace HEPA filters annually, making it the only air purifier manufacturers with this smart feature. The pre-filters can be conveniently placed in the dishwasher for a wash or washed by hand with normal washing liquid and water, preferably on a monthly or weekly basis to maintain its high levels of filtration. Only the carbon filters need replacing once every three months to maintain odor eliminating power.
At low speeds it is one of the quietest air purifiers around, although there are regular zapping sounds (due to the arcing phenomenon, much like lightning in thunderstorms) from its electrostatic filters when it is close to cleaning time and this noise maybe found irritable by most. This air purifier is recommended for rooms smaller than 450 sq ft for optimum cleaning although it can clean a room as large as 600 sq ft due to its high CADR as received from independent AHAM laboratory tests. It also scores well in energy efficiency, estimated to cost only about $ 50 – $ 60 a year to run.

Here we have put together some air purifier reviews of some of the top air purifiers available in the markets. This is an unbiased and objective view, which should help you in making the right choice.
- ORECK XL Professional Air PurifierThis air purifier from Oreck is a very nice looking and attractive-to-the-eye system, which is of course the first thing that we noticed about it. On using, it was very silent and also did an efficient job of air purification. It is a nice compact unit and perfect for those who hate bulky looking appliances.On the negative side, the fragrance feature, which is a very nice addition, would have been much better had it actually worked! Also had some price issues with the supplier, even though the unit was ordered from the Oreck website.
- Friedrich C-90A Air Purifier ReviewThe Friedrich uses an electrostatic plate for air purification, which is very effective, but does generate a very small amount of ozone. It has an activated carbon filter that efficiently removes unpleasant odors and fumes. It is a filter-less air purifier, thus your maintenance expenses will be low.The Friedrich can be quite noisy, and could have been a bit better in the looks department. All-in-all, a good buy if you do not have very acute allergy problems.
- IQAir HealthPro Air Purifier ReviewThe price of this air purifier did make us go ‘ouch’ but the cost is definitely worth it. Even though it is one of the more expensive air purifiers in the markets, it is a very good buy because of its super high efficiency in getting rid of particulates and other harmful microorganisms. The filter change indicator is a good addition.The only negative, if you can call it that, would be its price.
- Honeywell HEPA 50250 Air CleanerVery good air purifier, provided the space is not more than 300 sq.ft. It is also very quiet and reasonably priced. It does lack a bit in style, but overall, a good buy for small areas.
Hopefully, our reviewing of major air purifiers will help you.
