When to shop for air purifier deals
Investing in air-quality appliances can be expensive, whether you're looking for one of the best fans, or best portable air conditioners for keeping cool in the summer heat, or the best dehumidifier to combat indoor moisture in the winter months.
That's why sales periods can be a great time to browse for air purifier deals as they offer the opportunity to snap up a bargain on one of these popular appliances.
As there are no particular 'off-seasons' for air purifiers it's hard to predict when discounts might fall. Although July, August, and September – when more of us in the UK are outside enjoying the summer weather – can prove a quieter time for indoor air quality sales which, in turn, can result in retailers discounting air quality products.
Beyond that key sales dates like Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday are a great time to shop for these popular appliances for less. Amazon Prime Day usually occurs twice a year, in June/July and October, while Black Friday is the final Thursday of November, meaning we'll next see it on 28th November 2025.
If you have your eye on a particular product then the best way to stay in the loop regarding sales is to sign up for the brand's email newsletter, this way you're likely to be the first to hear about air purifier sales when prices drop.
Sale shopping advice
If you haven’t used an air purifier before, it can be a great way of cleaning indoor air to remove pollutants, allergens, and bad odours. ‘There’s mounting evidence that indoor pollution can pose more of a health threat than outdoor pollutants,’ says biochemist and medical herbalist Dr Chris Etheridge. ‘Improving indoor air quality is key to tackling conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).’
An air purifier usually works by sucking in air and purifying it through water and/or filters before releasing cleaner, fresher air. Some say that using an air purifier can be as powerful as having hundreds, if not thousands, of houseplants around the house. And it won't need nearly as much looking after!
However, before you get bowled over by all the great air purifier deals available this month, there are a few pieces of terminology worth understanding before you shop to help you find the right product for you.
CADR: 'Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) is a measure of an air purifier's efficiency in cleaning the air' says Lars Dunberger, Technology Development Manager at Swedish air purifier manufacturer Blueair. CADR measures an air purifier’s effectiveness based on the volume of air that the appliance can filter in a given time, this is usually communicated in m³/hour, or, confusingly, m³/minute. This is often separated into readings for how well the product can filter the three main indoor pollutants; dust, pollen, and smoke.
Room size: Most air purifiers will tell you the maximum area they can successfully filter in the specifications. This tends to be measured in m³ which takes into account the room's length, width, and height. The larger the space the air purifier can filter, the more expensive it's likely to be, and more powerful appliances are also likely to be heavier and bulkier. However, it's important to invest in an air purifier that's powerful enough to cope with your space. A small bedroom will be easily filtered by a smaller air purifier, whilst an open-plan space is likely to need a more powerful unit.
Noise levels: Most air purifiers use a fan to suck air into the unit and pass it through a series of filters to clean it. Just like the best fans on the market, this means air purifiers can be noisy, and if peace and quiet are important to you then you'll want to check out the air purifier's noise levels before you shop. These are measured in dB with air purifiers ranging from around 15dB on their lowest settings to 50dB on max.
