10 Best Air Purifiers In Singapore To Keep Your Home Clean And Fresh

As mums, partners, and individuals, we all do our best to create a healthy space for our kids, families, and loved ones. But in Singapore, haze season is something we deal with almost every year, due to forest and peat fires in neighbouring countries. When that happens, air quality can take a hit — and with it, our health.

While there’s little we can do about the air outdoors, we can take control of the air inside our homes. That’s where air purifiers come in. They help filter out harmful pollutants and allergens, reduce unpleasant odours, and improve overall indoor air quality.

If you’re thinking about getting an air purifier, you’re in the right place. This guide breaks down everything you need to know to find the right one for your home sweet home.

5 features to consider when choosing your perfect air purifier

1. HEPA Filtration

Air purifiers rely on filters to trap airborne particles and improve indoor air quality. When selecting a purifier, filter efficiency becomes a crucial factor. Terms like "HEPA" and "True HEPA" are frequently encountered, but what's the distinction?

• HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air)
  This label signifies the filter's ability to capture a significant portion of small airborne particles. However, it's important to note that HEPA filters can vary in effectiveness.
• True HEPA
  Beyond the basic HEPA designation, some filters adhere to stricter criteria established by a recognised governing body like the US Department of Energy. These advanced filters, often referred to as "True HEPA," demonstrate a superior level of efficiency. True HEPA filters must capture at least 99.97% of very small airborne particles, even those as tiny as 0.3 microns.
• Why 0.3 Microns?
  Particles measuring 0.3 microns, sometimes referred to as "ultra-fine" or "respirable," are particularly noteworthy. This size range often carries allergens like dust mites, pet dander, and even some bacteria and viruses.  True HEPA filters excel at capturing these minute particles, making a significant contribution to a healthier indoor breathing environment.

2. Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR)

Imagine a scenario: you're stuck in a room thick with smoke. An air purifier acts like a high-performance air filtration system, continuously drawing in the smoky air, trapping the unwanted particles, and releasing purified air back into the room. But how swiftly can it clear the smoke? Here's where the concept of Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) comes into play.

Understanding CADR:

CADR is a standardised metric used to quantify an air purifier's efficiency in eliminating three prevalent airborne contaminants.

• Fine Particulate Matter - This category represents very fine particles, similar to those found in cigarette smoke or seasonal haze.
• Allergens - This refers to larger particles like pollen grains, which can trigger allergies in some individuals.
• Household Dust - This encompasses everyday dust particles commonly found in homes.

The CADR rating is expressed in cubic feet per minute (CFM). In essence, it tells you the volume of clean air the purifier can deliver to your room in a single minute.

Interpreting CADR:

• Higher CADR - This signifies the purifier's ability to clean a larger room or eliminate pollutants more rapidly in a smaller space.
• Lower CADR - This suggests the purifier is better suited for smaller rooms or might take longer to clean the air in a larger space.

How to choose a CADR based on your room size:

• Small room (up to 200 sq ft): CADR can be around 150 CFM
• Medium room (200-400 sq ft): CADR should be between 200-300 CFM 
• Large room (400+ sq ft): CADR should exceed 300 CFM

CADR is just one factor to consider. Other factors like fan speed settings and room layout can also affect how quickly an air purifier cleans the air.

3. Noise Level

If you’re sensitive to noise, opt for a quieter model, especially for bedrooms, to ensure a peaceful night's sleep.

4. Smart Features

Wifi-enabled purifiers allow for remote control and monitoring of air quality.

Some models will allow you to control your air purifier from anywhere using your smartphone app. You can adjust the fan speed, monitor air quality, and even schedule cleaning sessions — all without leaving the couch.

You may also get real-time air quality monitoring on some devices, which will allow you to see how effective the purifier is and make adjustments.

Some air purifiers also come with filter replacement indicators, which is great for forgetful folks. 

Just like a car needs regular oil changes, your air purifier relies on fresh filters to function at its best. But remembering to replace filters can easily slip our minds. That's where the Filter Replacement Indicator comes in — a handy feature that acts as your air purifier's built-in pit crew signal, so make sure to look out for that when selecting your air purifier! 

Also, getting an air purifier with an air quality sensor will help you automatically adjust the purification level based on real-time air quality readings.

5. Warranty

An air purifier is a significant investment in your health and well-being. A strong warranty provides peace of mind, knowing you're protected in case of unexpected malfunctions or defects. Obviously, the longer the warranty, the better.
