Category questions

What is the best air purifier for a typical UK home

For most homes it makes sense to choose a purifier sized for the room you care about most, usually a bedroom or living room. Look for a proper particle filter, a realistic room size rating and fan speeds you can live with day to day.

Where should I put a air purifier in my house

Place it where you spend most time, with space around the air inlets and outlets so it can move air properly. Avoid tucking it behind furniture or in a corner where airflow is blocked.
