In recent months, deteriorating air quality in many regions has sparked widespread concern and brought attention to the market for indoor air purifiers—often referred to as "health guardians." However, with a wide variety of models and complex technical terms, it's challenging for consumers to assess the actual effectiveness of these devices. So, how can one make an informed choice when faced with so many options?
**First, consider the purification method—composite systems are more effective**
According to reports, air purifiers typically use three main purification methods: passive, active, and composite. Passive purifiers draw pollutants into the unit and filter them through a filter, while active purifiers actively eliminate bacteria and odors throughout the room. Composite systems combine both approaches, offering a more thorough and comprehensive purification process.
**Second, look at the technology—avoid ozone-based systems**
Air purifiers use various technologies, such as negative ion, ozone, and plasma ion group technology. Negative ion technology uses charged particles to attract dust and reduce airborne particles, though its effect on bacteria is limited. Ozone technology is highly effective at killing germs but can be harmful if overused. Sharp’s “Plasmacluster†technology, developed in 2000, mimics natural ions to neutralize pollutants without generating harmful byproducts.
**Third, check the filter system—opt for multi-layer filters**
Filters are the core of any air purifier. A good model should have multiple layers to address different indoor air issues like dust, odors, and formaldehyde. Most brands offer three or four layers, with some models featuring five. The first layer is a pre-filter, followed by a deodorizing filter, a formaldehyde-removing layer, and finally a HEPA filter for fine particle removal.
**Fourth, evaluate air flow efficiency—choose high-volume, high-speed units**
The speed and volume of air circulation play a key role in how effectively a purifier works. Units with high airflow and optimized blowing patterns ensure even distribution of purified air, reducing dead zones and maximizing coverage.
**Fifth, consider the humidification method—natural vaporization is safer**
Some humidifiers use atomization, which can lead to over-humidification and promote mold growth. Natural vaporization, on the other hand, releases water molecules evenly without creating mist, making it healthier and more efficient.
**After-sales service matters—choose a reliable brand**
Regular maintenance and filter replacement are essential for optimal performance. Brands like Sharp, Midea, and Yadu offer strong after-sales support, including on-site services and technical consultations. It’s important to choose a manufacturer that provides clear guidance and easy access to service.
According to Lu Jianbo from the China Electronics Chamber of Commerce, consumers should carefully evaluate factors like purification method, technology, filters, airflow design, and humidification features. Opting for a reputable brand with third-party inspection reports ensures safety and performance.
**Related News: Air Purifier Market Grows Rapidly**
According to Zhongyikang data, the retail volume of air purifiers grew by over 11% year-on-year between 2010 and 2012, with the growth rate increasing steadily. Sales also rose significantly, although the pace slowed slightly. Activated carbon filtration systems became increasingly popular, surpassing other types in both sales and market share.
Online retailers like Yixun.com saw a surge in demand, with daily sales exceeding 200% in some cases. Sharp and Philips were among the top-selling brands, and promotions such as “lowest price of the whole network†helped drive further interest. For example, Sharp’s KC-W380SW-W model was priced at 4,490 yuan, but after a 500-yuan discount on Yixun, it became cheaper than similar products on JD.com.
