Quick Australian Air Purifier Buying Guide
Selecting the right air purifier in Australia involves understanding your specific needs, such as room size, allergen types, and health concerns like allergies or asthma. A high-quality air purifier with a HEPA and carbon filter can significantly improve indoor air quality, but effectiveness depends on proper sizing and maintenance.

Determine Room Size
Room Size Calculator
Don't guess - calculate your exact CADR requirements
Room Size Guide
| Area (m²) | Use Case |
|---|---|
| 0-10 | Personal/Office |
| 11-20 | Small Room |
| 20-40 | Bedroom |
| 40-50 | Living Room |
| 60+ | Open Plan |
Choose the air purifier size based on the largest room you're going to put it in.
Understanding CADR
(Clean Air Delivery Rate)
An underpowered unit won't clean your air effectively. Enter your room dimensions to see models that provide the recommended 4-5 Air Changes Per Hour (ACH) for sleep environments.
Choose an air purifier based on the largest room you'll use it in. Check the "Specifications" tab on product pages for CADR ratings.
Remember: Putting a small air purifier in a large room is like putting a small heater in a large room - it will have an impact but will not be effective.

Choose Filter Types
Pre-Filter
Helpful if you have pets or a very dusty environment. Some air purifiers do not need them due to their design.
HEPA Filter
Only choose an Air Purifier with a HEPA filter—the gold standard in air purifiers. The smaller the particle micron size they capture, the better.
Carbon Filter
If you want to remove odours, smoke (bushfire or cigarette), or VOCs (chemicals), yes. Carbon absorbs gases that HEPA filters cannot catch.

Why Do I Need An Air Purifier?
Up to
5x
more polluted
Indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air, which can exacerbate congestion, allergies, asthma, and sleep issues.
Common Indoor Irritants Include:
- Dust mite allergens
- Pet dander
- Mould spores
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) released by cleaning products, paints, and furniture
For Australians suffering from hay fever (allergic rhinitis), asthma, or general congestion, constantly breathing this recirculated air can trigger persistent symptoms and significantly disrupt sleep quality.
Australians spend over 90% of their time indoors—poor indoor air quality is a significant, costly, and under-regulated health risk. Learn more

Gases & VOCs
A micron (μm) is one-thousandth of a millimetre (0.001 mm), used for measuring microscopic objects like bacteria, cells, or fine dust, representing extreme smallness in the metric system.
Conquering Allergies & Hay Fever
Seasonal pollen and allergens cause nasal congestion that ruins sleep. True HEPA filters capture 99.97% of particles, removing triggers before they reach your airways.
Managing Asthma Triggers
For asthma sufferers, clean air is non-negotiable. Reducing airborne triggers like mould spores and fine particulate matter can significantly reduce nighttime flare-ups.
Eliminating Dust & Pet Dander
Dust is often composed of mite allergens and pet dander. High-airflow purifiers continuously cycle the room, trapping dust before it settles on your bedding.
What Does an Air Purifier Do?
Air purifiers circulate air through HEPA filters (capturing 99.97% of 0.3-micron particles) and carbon layers for gases, repeating the process 5x/hour for optimal cleaning.
How Do Filters Work?
Modern air purifiers use a multi-stage filtration system. Each layer targets different pollutant types, working together to deliver clean, breathable air.
Pre-Filters
Designed to capture large particles like dust, hair, pet fur, and lint. Extends the lifespan of the primary filter. Usually washable or inexpensive to replace.
HEPA Filters
High Efficiency Particulate Air filters remove small airborne particles such as dust, pollen, mould, and allergens. The gold standard in air purification.
Carbon Filters
Targets gases, odours, and chemicals (VOCs) that particle filters can't capture. Uses absorption where gas molecules stick to the porous carbon surface.
What Does a HEPA Grade Mean?
The Filtration Efficiency refers to how much air bypasses the filter without being filtered down to 0.3 microns. For example, an H13 filter means only 0.05% of air passes through without being filtered.
"True HEPA" and "Medical Grade HEPA" are marketing terms typically used to describe H13 HEPA Grade filters. Don't let the marketing speak confuse you!
| HEPA Grade | Efficiency at 0.3μm |
|---|---|
| H10 | 85% |
| H11 | 95% |
| H12 | 99.5% |
| H13 | 99.95% |
| H14 | 99.995% |
Carbon Filters Come in 2 Types
Carbon Impregnated
Thin carbon layer on fabric - cheaper, lighter, but less effective and shorter-lasting. Best for mild odours.
Choose Impregnated If:
- You only deal with mild, everyday odours
- Budget is your primary concern
- You prefer a lighter, more compact unit
- You don't live in bushfire-prone areas
Carbon Granules
Loose carbon pellets. More carbon, better adsorption, longer-lasting, but pricier. Best for strong odours.
Choose Granules If:
- You're in a bushfire-affected area
- Someone in your home smokes
- You're sensitive to chemicals or VOCs
- You want longer intervals between filter changes
Tips:
- For bushfire smoke, choose a carbon filter with Carbon Granules
- Stock 1-2 spare filters to avoid shortages during peak seasons
How Do I Maintain an Air Purifier?
Replace Filters Regularly
- Clogged filters reduce airflow and efficiency, making the purifier work harder
- Saturated carbon filters stop absorbing odours and may release trapped pollutants back into the air
- Dirty HEPA filters can become breeding grounds for mould or bacteria
- The purifier essentially becomes useless if filters are neglected
Check your manufacturer's guidelines, as replacement intervals vary by model and usage.
How to Clean Your Air Purifier
Exterior/vents: Wipe down with a damp cloth monthly to prevent dust buildup.
Sensors: Gently clean air quality sensors by vacuuming or giving a blast using a can of compressed air to clear clogged sensors.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does an Air Purifier Work?
An air purifier works by passing the air in a room or area through a series of filters that capture and remove various contaminants and pollutants. The most common types of air purifiers use one or more of the following types of filters:
- HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filter: This type of filter is able to capture particles as small as 0.3 microns, including dust, pollen, pet dander, and smoke.
- Activated carbon filter: This filter is used to remove odors, chemicals, and gases from the air.
- Ionizer: This device uses an electrical charge to attract and trap particles in the air.
- UV-C light: This type of light can help to eliminate microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and mold spores.
The air purifier pulls in air from the room, passing it through the filters, and then releases the purified air back into the room. Some air purifiers also have built-in fans to help circulate the air more effectively. The effectiveness of an air purifier will depend on factors such as the type of filter used, the size of the unit, and the quality of the unit's construction. It is important to choose an air purifier that is appropriately sized for the room or area in which it will be used, and to ensure that the filter is easy to replace and maintain.
Can Air Purifiers reduce environmental risks such as smoke, pollen and VOCs?
Yes. Air Purifiers remove aerosols that are the size of smoke, voc and pollen. Some air purifiers that feature a filter (such as activated carbon) can additionally absorb Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).
Can we use Air Purifiers with AC?
Yes, it is generally okay to run an air conditioner and an air purifier at the same time. In fact, running both appliances together can be beneficial, especially if you are concerned about the air quality in your home.
Will an air purifier actually help me sleep better?
Yes. By removing irritants like dust mites, pollen, and pet dander that cause nasal congestion, coughing, or throat tickles, you reduce micro-awakenings throughout the night. This leads to deeper, more restorative sleep stages. It's particularly effective for allergy and asthma sufferers.
How long does it take to purify a room?
A correctly sized unit (use our calculator above!) should cycle the entire volume of air in your bedroom 4 to 5 times every hour (ACH). You should notice a distinct difference in air freshness within 30-60 minutes of running it on a high setting with doors and windows closed.
Are they noisy? Can I run one while sleeping?
Modern units designed for bedrooms are incredibly quiet on their lowest settings. Both Philips and Blueair models feature dedicated "Sleep" or "Night" modes that operate under 30dB (quieter than a whisper) and often dim their lights so they won't disturb your rest.
Do I need to keep windows closed?
For the best results, yes. Opening windows introduces outside pollutants (like pollen and traffic fumes) faster than the purifier can clean them. If you want fresh air, open windows for a short burst during the day, close them, and then run the purifier on high for an hour before bed.
