Should I Beo Shopping Online For Air Purifiers?

By Owen Jones


Have you come to the conclusion that you want an air purifier for your home? You may think it is a good idea if the air in your home is 'unclean' in any way or even if it is damp and mildewy. There are many reasons why a home and its residents can benefit from an air purifier especially if you live on a main road or near a factory. Too many hairy pets can also be a cause of allergies which can be cleaned up by the use of an air purifier.

If you do choose to get one, there are several different kinds to choose from and various cost levels. You can also shop on or off line. In fact, the price of these devices is frequently lower on line because the vendor does not have the overheads of a bricks and mortar shop front, although you will have to keep in mind to add postage and package and any local taxes that may be appropriate. It is still usually cheaper to purchase on line rather than in the shopping mall.

However, both ways of shopping have their advantages and disadvantages, so we will take a closer look at these next. Really what you ought to do is compare both ways of shopping and see which is best for you. The way that I do that is by going on line and typing something like 'air purifiers for sale' into a search engine.

The results that come up will be numerous, probably well over 100,000, so pick a dozen or so and do some research. Amazon is normally a good place to read users' reviews. Make notes on brand names, prices, functions and capabilities. Then take these notes to the Mall and go looking for air purifiers.

With your newly discovered information of these devices, you can question sales personnel and compare prices. Write more notes and do some comparisons.

Do not forget to add postage and packing and local taxes to the on line prices. Another item that you should consider is the warranty. What occurs if the purifier breaks down? Will you have to send it hundreds of miles away to be repaired? Who will pay for that?

It is always easier to claim on a warranty if it can be done locally. However, what are the chances of it breaking down anyway? It depends on the length of the warranty actually.

Some of the functions that you should come across whilst researching your prospective air purifier are whether it uses an air filter or not, whether it can cool air or not and whether it can dehumidify or not. These three features are convenient for different conditions, but there is no point paying for something that you will never use - the dehumidifier for instance.

Some individuals prefer a device that does not require an air filter or which has a washable filter, but this is normally because of laziness and false economy. There are numerous different kinds of filters for different pollutants so they are more flexible and ultimately far better.
