prom.ua

The first place in the top air purifiers for asthmatics in 2021 is occupied by Ballu AP-110. The device gets its place for the price/quality/functionality ratio. The cost of the device is within 10 thousand rubles. For this money you get a compact unit for purifying air from allergens with an air ionization function and a timer. The downside is the small maximum area of the room to be cleaned (20 square meters). This is enough for no more than a medium/large room. The filtration system consists of primary and HEPA filters. They remove large particles of dirt, dust, wool, fur, hair, fluff, spores, pollen, bacteria, viruses and allergy triggers from the air. When the filter needs to be changed, a special indicator on the device lights up, informing the user about this. There are several modes, including a quiet/sleep mode. Built-in air pollution sensors. Operated manually, no remote control.

Pros:

Good price/quality/functionality ratio
There is an additional ionization function
Two-stage filtration system
Compact
Multiple operating modes
Interesting appearance
Air purification quality
Simple controls
Suitable for allergy sufferers and asthmatics

Minuses:

Maximum cleaning area – 20 square meters

IQAir HealthPro 100

Second place in the ranking of the best air purifiers for asthmatics is taken by the medical model HealthPro 100.Its manufacturer is the Swiss company IQAir, which is famous for the quality and reliability of its products. The device can easily cope with air purification in a room up to 90 square meters. The filtration system consists of only two stages, but its efficiency, according to the manufacturer, is 99.96%. In practice, users in their reviews say that the device really filters the air quickly and efficiently. The model uses two filters - one for primary cleaning from large and medium-sized contaminants, the second, professional (medical grade cleaning), eliminates the smallest particles and microorganisms, including spores. The device does not remove gases or unpleasant odors. As an additional feature, the operation of the unit can be programmed for up to a week, it is controlled remotely, the speed and power of filtration are adjustable, six operating modes, and built-in air pollution sensors. In appearance, the device resembles a box, a stack of something, or a model of a high-rise building on wheels. Most often, the purifier can be found in private hospitals/offices of large companies. The IQAir HealthPro 100 is rarely found in the home. The main disadvantage of the model is that it is difficult to buy.

Pros:

High cleaning efficiency
Portable (has wheels for moving)
Two-stage filtration system
Medical grade filter
Adjustable cleaning power and speed
6 operating modes
Simple controls

Third place in the top of the best air purifiers for people with allergies is taken by a model from the global brand Dyson.The first thing that catches your eye when looking at this purifier is its appearance. It is neat, stylish, minimalistic and unconventional. It is somewhat reminiscent of a microphone - the lower part is a stand with control buttons and an air intake grille, and the upper part is a rounded rectangle through which purified air is blown, with a hole inside. Pure Hot+Cool is distinguished by its functionality - it can work as a fan, purifier or heater. There is no humidification function. The device is very compact, so it is suitable even for small spaces. There are no blades, as mentioned above, air is sucked in through the intake grille and blown out through the top duct. Filtration takes place in three stages:

Primary cleaning (large contaminants)
HEPA filtration (dust, microorganisms, dirt particles)
Carbon filter (unpleasant odors, allergens, some chemical compounds)

The outgoing air flow can be adjusted and directed in different directions at an angle, fed with rotation, or transferred control to the device - it will regulate the flow independently. There are 10 air supply modes, including quiet and economical modes.

Pros:

Design/Appearance
Compactness
Simple controls
A large number of modes
Can be used as a purifier, fan or heater
Air supply is adjustable

Minuses:

Maximum cleaning area 102 square meters
Three-stage filtration

Price – 34,000 rubles

Daikin MC707VM

The air purifier from the famous Japanese brand boasts an eight-stage air purification system. Daikin has equipped its MC707VM with the standard set of filters - primary, main, HEPA filter, but also added bio-antibody and photocatalytic filters.It is these components that ensure high cleaning efficiency. The function of a photocatalytic filter is to decompose harmful impurities in the air into simple substances that will not cause harm to the body. This happens by exposing them to ultraviolet rays. That is, the cleaner also works as a sterilizer. Microorganisms are eliminated from the air - bacteria, viruses, spores, as well as pollen, formaldehyde, dust mites, nitrogen oxides and nitrogen gas. Among the disadvantages, it is worth noting that the device does not have a humidification function and cannot work in a room with high humidity - water passes through the photocatalytic filter, which is why it quickly becomes unusable. It is not recommended to place the Daikin MC707VM humidifier in the same room. Another useful feature is the self-on/off function (the device reads the sensors and decides when it is necessary to clean the air), humidity, temperature, pollution sensors and an enhanced disinfection system. The latter aspect is extremely useful for allergy sufferers, because this system removes up to 99.6% of all allergens from the air. The noise level of the device in normal operation does not exceed 16 decibels. There is a turbo speed mode.

Pros:

Quick cleaning mode
Eight-stage air filtration
High-quality cleaning
Build quality
Additional filters
Works as an air sterilizer/disinfector
Suitable for allergy sufferers

Minuses:

Cannot be used with a humidifier
No humidification function
High humidity will damage filters
Complex controls
High price

Price – 52,000 rubles

Panasonic F-VK655

Fifth place in the ranking of air purifiers for allergy sufferers in 2021 is occupied by a futuristic model from Panasonic.The device can effectively purify the air in a room of 40 square meters or less. Modern “space” design in a futuristic style immediately attracts attention. It seems that this is not an ordinary air purifier, but a high-tech panel. Why panel? Because the entire front side of the device is its control panel, and it is also touch-sensitive and transparent. Additionally, it has a backlight. The panel displays various data: air humidity, air pollution, temperature. There is also a special indicator on the panel that informs the user that it is time to change the cleaning filter.

To determine the level of humidity and air pollution, appropriate sensors are built into the unit. The F-VK655 model not only thoroughly purifies the air, but also humidifies it, and when the proprietary technology is turned on, the device will also ionize the air. There is an automatic humidity control function - the purifier will turn on and off itself, based on the specified parameters of humidity, temperature and air pollution.

The device sucks in air from three directions. Its filtration system consists of four stages:

Primary cleaning from large contaminants (lint, wool, hair)
Basic cleaning (coarse dust and smaller particles are eliminated)
HEPA filtration from fine dust and allergenic substances
Additional filter (deodorizing) – cleanses from unpleasant odors, chemical compounds/substances

Pros:
