From climate control to sneeze-free air, tips to feel comfortable and breathe easy at home.
Sick of sneezing, stuffy noses and that lingering smell from god knows what? A quality air purifier can be a proper game-changer for your home's air quality. We've rounded up the most popular models "flying off digital shelves" this year-each one enjoyed by real Aussie households dealing with all the usual suspects when it comes to less than ideal air quality. Whether you're battling allergies, pet odours, or just want cleaner air to breathe, these are the air purifiers that are actually making a difference in homes across Australia.
If you’re looking to take air care even further, check out our full range of Air Purifiers, plus other Air Treatment appliances like Dehumidifiers and Humidifiers - all with Free Next-Day Delivery from Appliances Online.
CADR Numbers Matter: Clean Air Delivery Rate tells you how fast the unit can clean air. Higher CADR = faster cleaning.
Filter Costs Add Up: Check replacement filter prices before buying. A $200 purifier with $80 filters every 6 months costs more long-term than a $400+ unit with cheaper filters or 5-year filters.
Noise Levels: Anything under 30dB is whisper-quiet, 30-50dB is acceptable for living areas, over 50dB might be too loud for bedrooms.
Smart Features: App control and air quality monitoring are genuinely useful, not just gimmicks. Being able to check air quality remotely and adjust settings can be really handy, especially if allergies are a big concern.

Perfect for large living areas or open-plan homes where you need serious coverage without the maintenance headaches.
Why it's our pick: Set-and-forget operation, massive room coverage and you'll save plenty of money on replacement filters over five years.

Brand: Philips
Philips doesn’t muck around when it comes to clean air. This powerhouse pairs a clever dual-fan design with a three-layer filtration system that traps 99.97% of particles as small as 0.003 microns - that’s smaller than most viruses. This means it can help clear out everything from fine dust and smoke to pet dander, pollen and even some airborne nasties you can’t see. Thanks to SilentWings technology, it’s also up to 50% quieter than previous models, operating as low as 15dB in sleep mode.
What really makes it stand out is the smart connectivity. AeraSense technology scans your air 1,000 times per second, while the Philips Air+ app lets you monitor indoor and outdoor air quality, set schedules and control it all with your voice via Google or Alexa. Plus, it’s energy efficient, drawing just 36W at maximum power - less than a light bulb.
Best for: Tech savvy people who like connecting their appliances and gadgets, large homes and anyone chasing professional-grade filtration with smart features.

This is where Dyson’s engineering brilliance really shines - an air purifier that not only cleans the air but also keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer. The fully sealed HEPA H13 system captures 99.95% of particles as small as 0.1 microns, while the activated carbon layer tackles odours and gases, including VOCs.

Integrated sensors continuously monitor your environment and automatically adjust airflow to maintain air quality while conserving energy - purifying only when needed.
For light sleepers, Night Mode runs 50% quieter with a dimmed display, while the MyDyson app gives you full remote control via your phone or voice commands through Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri. And for those times you don’t want direct airflow, Diffused Mode purifies the air without the breeze.

Weighing just 3.1kg, it’s light enough to move from room to room with ease.
Best for: Bedrooms, home offices, apartments and anyone wanting hospital-grade filtration without the hefty price tag.

This is Dyson’s most powerful and quietest air purifier yet - and it’s genuinely impressive. The BP03 features advanced three-stage HEPA H13 filtration that captures and destroys harmful pollutants including formaldehyde, nitrogen dioxide, carbon dioxide and other volatile organic compounds.

Using Dyson’s innovative cone aerodynamics, it projects purified air over 10 metres, circulating clean air throughout spaces up to 100m². Despite that power, it runs at just 56 dBA on full speed - quieter than a normal conversation. The adjustable oscillation (0°, 25° or 50°) and Breeze mode mimic natural airflow for a more comfortable experience.
Smart sensors analyse pollution levels 1,000 times per second, while the MyDyson app gives you detailed air quality insights - tracking PM2.5, PM10, VOCs, NO₂, temperature and humidity. In testing, it turned a heavily polluted room into clean air in just 13 minutes.
Best for: Large living spaces, newly renovated homes, or anyone wanting the ultimate in air purification and whisper-quiet performance.
