How do you know which air purifier is right for you? With a little research and comparison shopping it shouldn't be hard to find out. There are many different models to choose from so I have compiled here a list of the top 10 air purifiers on the market right now.

Each of these are good machines, some have better reviews than others. The most important thing to consider before you choose which one is right for you is to know exactly what you want it to do. For example is it mostly to get rid of allergens? Do you have a problem with mold or smelly odors? How large or small of a unit are you hoping for? Are there any smokers in your home? What is your price range? Knowing the answers to these questions will greatly simplify your search as not all air purifiers are made alike.

Here is a list of standard features to comparison shop for when exploring the top 10 air purifiers listed above:

* Price of air purifier - Prices will differ dramatically and the most expensive will not necessarily be the most effective
* Noise level - Read customer reviews as a noisy air purifier will drive you nuts. All of the above mentioned are pretty quiet.
* Annual Cost - Consider how much your energy bill will cost as well as how often the filters need to be replaced.
* Effectiveness - Does the air purifier do what it claims it'll do? Again unbiased customer reviews are the best place to look for answers to this.
* Ease of use - Nobody wants a big complicated machine. It should be very simple to use.
* Warrantee - There are excellent warrantee's available so make sure you get one.
* Style/Size - This will be a permanent addition to your home. Make sure you can handle the style and size of the air purifier.
