About CleanAirCritic
CleanAirCritic is an independent air purifier review site built around your situation — your room, your concern, your budget. We don't do generic "top 10" lists. Every recommendation is matched to a specific use case with clear reasoning.
Our Methodology
We evaluate air purifiers on four core criteria:
CADR & Coverage
Clean Air Delivery Rate for smoke, dust, and pollen. Matched to room size recommendations.
Noise Level
Decibel measurements at each fan speed. Critical for bedrooms and nurseries.
Filter Quality
True HEPA vs HEPA-type, activated carbon weight, and pre-filter design.
Total Cost of Ownership
Purchase price + annual filter cost + estimated electricity. The number nobody else gives you.
What Makes Us Different
- Use-case-first. We start with your problem, not the product spec sheet.
- Opinionated. We pick winners. No "it depends" hedging.
- Cost-transparent. Every review includes 12-month total cost of ownership.
- No fluff. Short intros, fast to the recommendations, detailed for those who want depth.
