10 Efficient Air Purifier For Mold Reviews – Ease Your Allergies In 2024

User Manual

Alen’s goal as a company is to help people breathe better. This tight focus lets them include offerings in their catalog that are aimed at solving specific air quality problems, as opposed to the more all-purpose solutions you’ll find from other companies.

Efficiency is the main focus of the Paralda’s design. It uses a dual-purified vent system for the air, capturing contaminants at both the intake and exhaust vents to make sure your air is clear. This multi-level filtration is enhanced by the filters themselves, which come in four different options. This lets you target your clean on exactly your air purity needs.

The Paralda is also sleek from top to bottom—both in terms of looks and operation. The controls are easy to figure out and use, and it also has on-board programming features so you can have it clean your air when you’re not around. Considering Alen covers all of their air purifiers with a lifetime warranty, you can be sure it’s built to last for years, too.

Features:

• 11” X 7” X 28”
• 15 pounds
• Coverage area up to 500 ft2
• Filters: HEPA-Pure, HEPA-Fresh, HEPA-Silver, HEPA-SilverCarbon, or HEPA-OdorCell
• Filter Life: 6-12 months
• Lifetime Warranty

More and more air purifiers are using smart sensors to let you stay on top of your air quality and make hands-free adjustments. What’s special about the Coway AP-1512HH is that it’s one of the most affordable ways to get these features. At just over two hundred bucks, it’s priced to fit into any budget, with a compact design and easy operation that will fit into any lifestyle.

The operation of the Coway AP-1512HH is comparable to air purifiers that sell for twice as much or more. It has a coverage area suitable for medium rooms and uses a 4-stage filtration system, with both true HEPA and active carbon filters. It’s also about average in terms of its noise—quiet enough to sleep through on low settings and about as loud as an air conditioner when you turn the fan up.

This is a compact little model, too, designed to fit just about anywhere. It only needs about a foot of space on a side for airflow and runs quietly enough at night you can put it at your bedside. With features like Eco Mode and Auto Mode you’d expect to find on more expensive models, it’s definitely one of the best values on the list.

Features:

• 17” X 9.5” X 18”
• 12 pounds
• Coverage area up to 361 ft2
• Filters: Carbon, True HEPA (buy pack)
• Filter Life: 6 months (carbon), 12 months (HEPA)
• 3-Year Limited Warranty

If you want to get the ultimate in home air purification, IQAir is the company you want to turn to.  The HealthPro Plus is the top-rated model for alleviating allergy symptoms and was rated a Best Buy by Consumer’s Digest.

Here’s the deal:

The IQAir is an investment.

But it’s worth it.

It’s the only option that can give you medical-grade filtration, making it our top overall choice for performance. The HyperHEPA filters are up to 100 times as effective at capturing pollutants as other HEPA filters. The filtration is so advanced that it can even capture viruses like the cold and flu, something most home air purifiers can’t do.

We also found it to be a really easy model to use. There are three filters, but they’re all easy to change and don’t need to be replaced often. There’s a readout on the control panel to tell you the remaining feature life, which is handy. You can also set the purifier to run on a given day of the week, or put it on a timer, a convenient option if you don’t want it running all the time.

The HealthPro Plus is built to clean a lot of air quickly. It’s better for medium to large rooms than it is for small ones, mostly because it is a bit on the bulky side. It runs quietly enough you won’t notice it in a living room or larger bedroom, but it does get noticeably louder on higher settings—something to keep in mind if you’re sensitive to noise.

If you’re only concerned about removing mold and mold spores, the HealthPro Plus might be a bit of overkill. If you’re looking for a more all-purpose solution to your allergies or breathing problems, you can’t beat the air quality that IQAir will give you.

Features:

• 16” X 15” X 28”
• 35 pounds
• Coverage area up to 1,125 ft2
• Filters: PreMax Pre-Filter F8, HyperHEPA filter H12/13, V5-Cell Filter MG (optional)
• Filter Life: 16-18 months (pre-filter), 2-4 years (HyperHEPA and V5)
• 5-Year Limited Warranty

You can get pretty much everything in a smart form these days, and air purifiers are no different. The Blueair Classic 405 is Wi-Fi enabled and Alexa-compatible for voice control and easy smart home integration. This earns the Blueair Classic high marks for convenience even before we get into its other features.

In terms of performance, the most impressive thing about the Blueair Classic is its speed. It uses a clever technology that harnesses the power of static electricity to pull contaminants toward the filter, with a powerful fan that can completely circulate the air in a medium-sized room in about fifteen minutes. It uses a true HEPA filter so you can be confident you’re not breathing in any mold or mold spores.

The design of the Blueair Classic is also more efficient. This is good for you in two ways. First, it makes it quieter—so quiet we could barely hear it on the lowest setting. It also means it uses less energy, adding less to your electricity bills.

Our only question with the Blueair Classic is whether it justifies its price. If you want an option that will integrate easily into your smart home, this is a solid choice, but you’ll definitely pay a premium for the Wi-Fi connectivity, and you can get similar performance elsewhere for less.

Features:

• 11” X 20” X 23”
• 31 pounds
• Coverage area up to 400 ft2
• Filters: True HEPA
• Filter Life: 6 months
• 5-Year Limited Warranty

The function of your air purifier is obviously much more important than how it looks, but there’s nothing wrong with getting something that’s both powerful and attractive. This is especially true when it comes to an air purifier for your living room or other open spaces, since those tend to be on the larger side.

The BreatheSmart from Alen fits this bill, giving you clean air from a device that will look great in your home. The design of this model is pretty innovative. It features 15 customizable panels in a range of colors so that you can choose the right look for your room.

But that’s just part of the story.

It’s also customizable on the filtration side of the equation, with four interchangeable filters, each of which is ideal for a certain situation. The HEPA-Silver is our favorite for mold, and it’s also designed to take care of germs and pollen, making it a great choice for all-around air quality. The unit’s display will let you keep track of your air quality so you know the unit’s working.

Even with all the customization options, this air purifier is easy to operate. Both the purifier and the included ionizer have a one-button activation, and it’s equally easy to re-set your filter life indicator or change the fan speed. Overall, the BreatheSmart is our favorite choice for when you want to breathe easy in style.

Features:

• 10” X 18” X 27”
• 21 pounds
• Coverage area up to 1,100 ft2
• Filters: HEPA-Pure, HEPA-Silver, HEPA-FreshPlus, HEPA-OdorCell
• Filter Life: 12 months
• Lifetime Limited Warranty

Most air purifiers that are suitable for large rooms rely on the power of the fan to increase the air intake. Honeywell has taken a different approach to the airflow problem by using a circular design with intake and discharge vents all around the device. This innovative design results in an efficient device that lets you clean the air in larger rooms without expending a lot of energy (or spending a lot of money).

And guess what?

Honeywell has brought that same forward-thinking attention to detail to the rest of this air purifier’s design, too.

The Honeywell 50250-S uses SurroundSeal Technology throughout the device. This makes sure that all the air pulled in is pushed out through the filters instead of sneaking through a crack—and that ultimately translates to cleaner air.

The classic combination of a carbon pre-filter and true HEPA filter captures allergens and eliminates most odors as well as devices that cost twice as much. This carbon pre-filter is especially useful for larger particles, including carbon and mold spores, catching them before they reach the HEPA filter and extending the time between cleanings.

This isn’t the most powerful air purifier out there. It won’t be incredibly effective against difficult smells, like smoke, and it can’t capture viruses or other extremely small particles. For eliminating mold and mold spores from your air, though, it’s highly effective, and one of the more cost-effective options you’ll find—especially if you’re looking for something to work in a large space.

Features:

• 18” X 18” X 19.5”
• 21 pounds
• Coverage area up to 390 ft2
• Filters: HRF-AP1 pre-filter, re-usable true HEPA filter
• Filter Life: 3 months
• 5-Year Limited Warranty

The best air purifier is the one that fits into your life. If you’re looking for something that will work in a smaller space, though, you often have to sacrifice some of the performance. That’s what we love about the LV-H132 from Levoit. It has a super-compact design that can fit on an end table or desk and still offers the same 3-level filtration as larger designs.

As if that’s not enough, the LV-H132 is a pretty exceptional value.

The 2-pack linked to here includes of the filters that you’ll need, and sells for right around $150, for the lowest per-unit cost on the list. You can get one for the bedroom and one for the living room, or one for work and one for home, helping you breathe clean air everywhere you go.

In terms of the filtration, there’s a particle pre-filter along with a combined true HEPA filter and activated carbon filter for the air to pass through. Changing both filters is an easy process. Just flip the unit over, remove the cover, and drop them in—that’s all the more maintenance you’ll ever need to do.

The LV-H132 doesn’t have the power to clean the air in larger rooms. It maxes out at around 120 square feet—enough for a dorm room or bedroom but probably not enough for larger living areas. Within that space, though, it’s very efficient at removing even tiny particles. In our mind, this is the perfect option to keep at your bedside while you’re sleeping, or anywhere else you need fresh air but don’t have a lot of space.

Features:

• 8.5” X 14.5” X 8.5”
• 7 pounds
• Coverage area up to 120 ft2
• Filters: LV-H132-RF
• Filter Life: 6 months
• 2-Year Warranty

Eliminating allergens is what this Aprilaire model does best. It’s advertised as being ideal for eliminating pet dander, and while this is true it’s not limited to that one function. It is equally effective at removing mold spores and other airborne allergens, ensuring you’ll breathe clean air in any environment.

Most air purifiers can capture large contaminants like pollen and pet dander, but the Aprilaire Allergy + takes this a step further and also purifies the air of gaseous allergy triggers, including VOCs. There’s an extra layer of alumina oxide in addition the activated carbon and true HEPA filters you’ll find in other air purifiers, and this is what makes it so effective at capturing all the smells and pollutants in your air.

The Allergy + is more convenient to adjust than most air purifiers, too. When it’s in automatic mode, it will change the fan speed in response to changes in the air quality, which it detects using an advanced suite of sensors. You can see this sensor data using the colored light indicator on the top of the device if you want to make manual adjustments. There are six fan speeds to choose from, including a Turbo Mode that can handle pretty much any contaminant—and quickly.

The Aprilaire Allergy + isn’t exactly small, but it’s fairly compact considering how many filters there are inside. The carrying handles on the side make it a lot easier to move around, too, although given how much space it can cover you probably won’t need to move it much. Pet owners especially will love this air purifier, but it’s just as good for anyone who wants pure air hassle-free.

Features:

• 9” X 16.5” X 26”
• 26 pounds
• Coverage area up to 495 ft2
• Filters: Pre-filter, Pet Hair & Dander filter, True HEPA particle filter, Odor & VOC carbon filter
• 5-Year Warranty

There’s a reason Whirlpool is such a household name for appliances. They’ve built a reputation for building products that are well-constructed, practical, and affordable, and that’s as true of their small appliances as it is for their washers and dryers.

Listen:

This Whirlpool Whispure is not the most stylish of appliances. It’s a bit bulky and very utilitarian in its design, especially compared to some of the sleeker options on the list. But as they say, it’s what’s on the inside that counts—and that’s as true of air purifiers as it is for people.

This air purifier uses a 3-stage filtration with a 4-speed fan. On the low setting, it really lives up to the “whisper” in its name—easily the quietest of the large room models that we looked at.

Operating the Whirlpool Whispure is easy. Unfortunately we can’t say the same thing about changing the filter, which is our primary beef with this model. You’ll need to remove the entire front cover of the machine to access the filters, which can be a bit of a chore. We were also a bit surprised by the price of the filters—almost half the cost of the air purifier itself.

These minor quibbles aside, the Whirlpool Whispure strikes a great balance of value and performance. It can cover twice as much space as most options at the price, and the sleep timer and intuitive controls make it a convenient choice, too.

Features:

• 12” X 22” X 27”
• 22.6 pounds
• Coverage area up to 500 ft2
• Filters: Active Carbon pre-filter, True HEPA filter
• Filter Life: 12 months (HEPA), 3 months (carbon)
• 5-Year Limited Warranty

An air purifier doesn’t have to hook up to a voice control system to be smart. The Airmega 300 uses intelligent design within the circuitry of the device itself. It has an incredibly advanced sensor system that can take very accurate readings of your air quality.

Even better…

It gives you multiple smart modes to use that sensor data, giving you complete control over the air you breathe.

Let’s start with the modes, because they’re the big selling point of the Airmega in our opinion. Along with the manual fan speed settings, you’ll get three Smart Modes to work with. In “Auto,” the device adjusts the filtration speed automatically to match the room’s air quality—ideal for continuous operation.

Switch to “Eco” and the device will turn itself off when the air quality is good, then turn itself back on the moment it detects contaminants. There’s also a “Sleep” mode that turns the fan speed down to its quietest setting when it’s dark.

The Airmega backs up these smart functions with a powerful filtration system. It has the largest capacity of any purifier on this list, and is extremely effective at removing mold and mold spores, along with fine dust and odor-causing VOCs. This is a smart choice for open floor plans, offices, and anywhere else you want hassle-free clean air.

Features:

• 13.5” X 13.5” X 21”
• 21 pounds
• Coverage area up to 1,256 ft2
• Filters: Washable pre-filter, Max2 filter set (Activated Carbon, Green True HEPA)
• Filter Life: 12 months
• 5-Year Limited Warranty
