The downside is label games and neglect. Coverage claims on the box often assume a low air change rate, so a unit sold for a big room may be too weak for allergies. Filters clog and cost money, and some add-on features such as ionizers can make ozone. Expect more shoppers to buy by the box and then skip filter changes. Read the CADR number, avoid ozone-making units and keep a filter reminder.

FAQ
What size air purifier do you need?
Work out room volume, pick air changes per hour (4 for allergies) and use the CADR calculator.
Is HEPA the only filter that matters?
No. HEPA catches fine particles, and carbon helps with odors and gases. Match the filter to the problem.
How often should you change filters?
Follow the maker, often every 6 to 12 months for HEPA, sooner in smoky or dusty homes.
Are ionizers safe?
Some make ozone. Look for models that are certified low-ozone, or skip the feature.
Final Word
Size the room, match the filter to the problem and keep up with filter changes.
What comes next: tighter labels, smarter filter alerts and quieter high-flow models. Start with room size and CADR, then pick the features you will actually use.
