With the haze situation in Singapore being a yearly affair, having a top quality air purifier is essential for the home. For some, more than a single air purifier is required, one for each room! Those who are on the go, air purifiers for the car or portable air purifiers are also handy to have especially on super hazy days when the PM2.5 (fine particulate matter that affects the respiratory tract) readings hit the roof.
The key component for a high-quality air purifier is the true HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Arrestance) filter that can remove nearly all airborne particles, has affordable operating and filter costs, and cleans your air without making a lot of noise. Here’s a rundown of the top air purifiers that’ll help you and the kids breathe a whole lot better.

Dyson unveiled its latest generation of purification machines with new solid-state formaldehyde sensing technology, designed to capture ultrafine dust and allergens, even destroying potentially dangerous VOCs including formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is a colorless gas pollutant, released by furniture and wooden products containing formaldehyde-based resins like plywood and fibreboard, insulating materials, and do-it-yourself products such as paint, wallpapers, varnishes, and household cleaning products. Being 500 times smaller than particles the size of 0.1 microns, it is particularly difficult to capture and if left undetected can lead to prolonged exposure due to continuous release of airborne chemicals, known as off-gassing.
This latest series of air purifiers are re-engineered to achieve fully-sealed HEPA 13 standard filtration – not only ensuring that no air bypasses the filter but blocking any potential leak points through which dirty air might enter the airflow. This means these purifiers remove 99.95% of particles as small as 0.1 microns. Improvements in the airflow journey have made the Dyson Pure Cool and Dyson Pure Cool Formaldehyde 20% quieter, without any compromise on purification performance to reduce unwanted noise at home.
