Cleaning or circulation
Decide whether you need particle filtration, odour control, heating or simply stronger air movement.

Air and cooling
For air purifiers, start with clean-air delivery rate and replacement filters. For fans, compare airflow pattern, noise and placement while remembering that a fan does not refrigerate a room.

What matters
Four checks before comparing prices
CADR and room
Use CADR and actual room volume because manufacturer room-area claims can use different assumptions.
Noise at useful speed
A quiet sleep mode may move little air; compare comfort at the operating speed you will really use.
Ownership cost
Check filter model, Australian stock, replacement interval, warranty and app dependence.

Choose by use case
Bedroom
Prioritise low useful-speed noise, display dimming and a suitable CADR for the room volume.
Open-plan living
Look for higher CADR or powerful circulation and account for connected spaces and high ceilings.
Allergy and smoke particles
Prioritise effective particle filtration, appropriate CADR and affordable replacement filters.

- Activated carbon
- A filter material that can help with some gases and odours but has finite capacity.
- Air circulator
