PLUS: Air quality monitors to show you what’s really going on with your home’s air.
No matter where you live, the best air purifier for you is one that is tailored to your specific clean-air need. Whether that’s fighting wildfire smoke or VOCs and odors from an unventilated stove, or combating pet allergens, we’ve found a WIRED-tested air purifier for every budget, room size, and pollutant.
I test each air purifier throughout my home in various places where bad air accumulates, and I test each firsthand in a sealed tent with smoke pellets. During the test, I measure visual smoke clearance, time to return to healthy air-quality readings, noise levels, room coverage, app performance, and filter design to determine which is best.
