While regular dusting and cleaning is one way to keep your home free from dust, pet dander and dirt, another way you can keep your space feeling fresh is with an air purifier. 

These appliances are designed with filters and fans to help remove particles and circulate purified air back into the room, to simultaneously improve the air quality and allow you to breathe easier. 

If you suffer from allergies, or even asthma, look for air purifiers that have high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters in them, as they can trap pollutants such as pollen, mould spores, dust mites and pet dander that can cause a reaction. 

There’s a wide range of air purifiers on the market, so you’re spoilt for choice, no matter what your budget is or the size of your home.

We’ve rounded up the best money can buy, from the affordable to the high-tech designs worth investing in, so you can live in the cleanest, purest air possible.
