Hybrid air purifiers 2 in 1 – with humidifier (and more)
Combining a humidifier with other functions is not entirely the best idea. On the one hand, you get a multifunctional and efficient device and may save some space. However, there are a few disadvantages – higher purchase price, more expensive parts and replaceable filters, and often such models lack a PM2.5 sensor, which means they are less effective at removing smog and the most dangerous airborne dust particles.
Such a solution is suitable for homes and apartments that have issues with air humidity and in rooms with limited space (children’s room or bedroom), where fitting two devices is difficult. An air purifier with a humidifier is also a good option for allergy sufferers.

What is an air purifier and how does it work?
An air purifier is a device that filters the air and removes harmful pollutants such as pollen, dust mites, smog components, dust, as well as viruses and fungi.
Despite differences between individual models, the general principle of operation remains the same.
An air purifier, thanks to fans:
- draws in air,
- passes it through a filtration system that captures and retains pollutants,
- releases clean air back into the room.
Available air purifiers on the market differ in weight, size, efficiency, and technology used. Some can be placed on the floor in a room or mounted on a wall. Additionally, you can opt for small purifiers for cars or desks.
An important term you may encounter in the context of air pollution is PM2.5. These are suspended particles in the atmosphere with a size of no more than 2.5 micrometres. The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified them as the most dangerous to human health among all atmospheric pollutants.
The latest WHO guidelines from 2021 recommend aiming for an annual average PM2.5 concentration not exceeding 5 µg/m³, and a daily concentration not exceeding 15 µg/m³.
However, these are not legally binding guidelines. In Poland, standards are set based on the European Parliament and Council Directive 2008/50/EC of 21 May 2008, with the target to reduce exposure to pollutants calculated on a three-year cycle. The national average exposure index for PM2.5 in 2021, calculated as the average for 2019–2021, was 17 µg/m³.
Selected Filtration Methods
The core of modern air purifiers is the filtration system, which typically relies on three filters: pre-filter, carbon filter, and HEPA.
Pre-filter
Captures larger particles such as dust, hair, and other visible dirt.
HEPA Filters
Eliminate bacteria, viruses, fungi, PM2.5 dust, and other particles invisible to the human eye.
Choose models with the latest generation HEPA filters, namely H13 and H14 – they provide the highest effectiveness in combating the smallest pollution particles.
Carbon Filter
Removes hazardous compounds such as formaldehyde, benzene, xylene, volatile hydrocarbons, and unpleasant odours, as well as cigarette smoke.
A carbon filter can help you ventilate your home after frying, a party, or renovation. Frying bacon for your morning scrambled eggs emits up to 2.35 × 10³ µg PM2.5 in a minute – an amount that regular ventilation cannot handle.
Usually, each filter is installed separately, making maintenance and replacement easier, although some models integrate all filters into one system.
In some devices, you may also find an antibacterial filter and a cold catalytic filter, which removes volatile organic compounds (e.g., formaldehyde or benzene).
Is it worth buying an air purifier?
Even minimal exposure to air pollutants can cause irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, headaches and dizziness, or fatigue.
In the long term, these can lead to respiratory, cardiovascular diseases, or even cancers, and may also cause pregnancy complications (e.g., preterm labour or low birth weight).
Worldwide, nearly 7 million deaths are recorded annually due to air pollution, and this number continues to rise.
According to data from the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), indoor air can be up to 2–5 times more polluted than outdoor air. In this context, purchasing an efficient air purifier seems to be a sensible solution.
What Does an Air Purifier Provide? 7 Unexpected Benefits
The best air purifiers offer benefits that impact our health and well-being, and even productivity. The advantages of using air purifiers are greater than they might seem. Scientific research confirms this.
Relieves asthma and allergy symptoms
One of the primary functions of air purifiers is removing allergens from the air, including pollen, mould, and dust mites. This is possible thanks to HEPA filters, which alleviate asthma symptoms.
Reduces the risk of diabetes
Results from Danish studies published in 2016 indicated a strong correlation between PM2.5 pollution levels and an increased risk of developing diabetes. An increase in PM2.5 concentration by 10 micrograms raises the risk of diabetes by as much as 39%. The solution proved to be long-term use of air purifiers and wearing HEPA masks.
Reduces the risk of viral infections
HEPA filters are also effective at removing circulating viruses from the air. A CDC report shows that thanks to them, COVID-19 spread approximately 41% less compared to places without such filtration.
Lowers blood pressure
Even a slight reduction in inhaled air pollutants significantly impacts lowering blood pressure to healthier levels. A 2018 study found that reducing PM2.5 levels from 11 to 7 micrograms was sufficient.
Helps increase productivity at work
Research conducted at Harvard demonstrates that poor indoor air quality impairs cognitive abilities, concentration, and productivity. Lowering PM2.5 levels with efficient air purifiers equipped with HEPA filters can boost productivity and reduce sick days.
Neutralises unpleasant odours
Chemical substances—known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs)—commonly found in paints, aerosols, varnishes, or upholstered furniture can cause nausea, shortness of breath, and affect cognitive functions. An air purifier with a carbon filter and HEPA system can handle these without any problem.
Improves sleep quality
Indoor air pollution can trigger allergy symptoms (e.g., sneezing, hay fever, nasal congestion, or tearing), which also affect the quantity and quality of your sleep. Sleep problems lead to poorer well-being and decreased daytime productivity. To avoid this, invest in a good air purifier.

How many hours a day should an air purifier operate?
An air purifier should be running continuously. Air circulates all the time, so pollutants are constantly entering our spaces.
How much does an air purifier cost?
The prices of air purifiers range from a few hundred to several thousand Polish złoty. They depend on the technologies used, additional features, efficiency, or maximum coverage area.
When planning your investment, you should also consider operating costs, which mainly include filter replacements and electricity bills – both metrics depend on the device's efficiency and usage intensity.
The lifespan of filters in Poland is typically 1–3 years, and their average cost (depending on the model) ranges between 150–300 zł.
Regarding electricity bills, even if the air purifier runs 24 hours a day, the bills (at current rates) should not increase by more than £2.50 per month.
Where to buy an air purifier?
You can purchase an air purifier in physical stores or online from manufacturers and distributors, or in shops such as Media Expert, RTV Euro AGD, or Neonet.
Interesting options for home or office air purifiers can also be found in DIY stores like Castorama or Leroy Merlin.
Affordable air purifiers occasionally appear in Lidl (e.g., Silvercrest) and Biedronka (e.g., Hoffen) – however, we do not guarantee their quality. Their quality is often simply discounted.
If you already know which model you want to buy, use platforms such as Ceneo or Allegro to find the best deal.
Air Purifiers – User and Medical Opinions
Clean air is important for our health and daily comfort when staying indoors. This is confirmed by the studies mentioned earlier.
The quality of the air we breathe is particularly important for allergy sufferers, infants or young children, the elderly, and individuals exhibiting bronchial hyperreactivity after infections.
Witold TomaszewskiDoctor of Medical Sciences
And what do the users themselves think about air purifiers?
“It quickly detects and removes all pollutants that appear, for example, after cooking or airing the flat. Within an hour, it can even replace the worst filth” – admits Michał, who uses the Klarta Stor 2 model daily. “The only thing that could be improved is the noise level at the highest settings.”
Meanwhile, Natalia uses the Dyson Purifier Cool Formaldehyde TP09. She particularly appreciates its quiet operation, ease of filter replacement, and app control – allowing her to operate the device and monitor the air quality in her flat. “Design and appearance? TOP. As an air purifier, this model is excellent, but it doesn’t work well as a cooling device” – she states.
How to choose a good air purifier? Key parameters
If you want to find the best air purifier, you should primarily determine your needs and financial capabilities.
Start by answering these basic questions:
- What area will the air purifier operate in – will it be one room or the entire flat? Living room, bedroom or child's room? How many devices do you actually need?
- What types of pollutants should the purifier primarily deal with (e.g. smog, cigarette smoke, dust, pollen, pet hair)?
- Which technologies and how quickly will they address your issues? The higher the CADR (angl. Clean Air Delivery Rate), the more air the device can filter per hour, and for purifiers without HEPA 13 or 14, you can disregard this metric.
- What budget can you allocate for a one-time purchase and annual maintenance?
Design and interior compatibility are important, but not the most crucial factors.
When choosing an air purifier for your home or flat, pay attention to the following parameters:
- area of operation,
- efficiency,
- used filtration systems,
- operating modes and additional functions,
- noise levels in various operating modes,
- power consumption,
- purchase price and maintenance costs.
You will have greater confidence in the quality and effectiveness of a device if it possesses the appropriate certificates and approvals. The most important of these are:
- AHAM (certificate issued by the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers confirming that the purifier has been tested for CADR);
- ECARF (certification awarded to products friendly to allergy sufferers and asthmatics based on opinions issued by medical university scientists);
- ENERGY STAR (certification confirming the device's energy efficiency, which is significant for the operating costs of air purifiers).
Helpful comparisons such as ours, as well as tests of individual devices available on YouTube or portals like Benchmark, can assist in selecting a specific model.
I hope that choosing the perfect air purifier will be much easier for you. If you have any further questions, ask them in the comments. Together with our experts, we will satisfy your curiosity.
Summary
- The air purifier should be selected based on your needs, floor area, and volume.
- The CADR efficiency factor indicates how much clean air the device delivers per hour and how quickly it filters your room.
- Modern air purifiers most often utilise a three-stage filtration system, consisting of a pre-filter, activated carbon filter, and HEPA filter.
- The latest generations of HEPA filters (H13 and H14) demonstrate the highest effectiveness in capturing microscopic particles from the air, at 99.95% and 99.995% respectively. Manufacturers also utilise EPA E12 filters with an efficiency of 99.5%.
- A good air purifier should be equipped with additional functions and modes, such as PM2.5 indicators, a restrictive automatic mode, night mode, or mobile control, which allow for intuitive and comfortable operation.
- If you require a device with additional filtration support, a good solution is an air purifier with an ioniser. Many models on the market feature this function.
- An air purifier with a humidifier (2-in-1) is suitable for apartments with humidity issues, small rooms (bedroom or child's room), and for allergy sufferers. Otherwise, purchasing a separate air purifier and humidifier would be a better and more cost-effective option.
FAQ
Does the air purifier work?
In a word – yes. The latest models of air purifiers filter not only smog particles. They effectively deal with bacteria, pollen, unpleasant odours, gases, viruses, or mould. This helps support our health and improves well-being.
Will an air purifier help with pet hair allergies?
Of course! Particularly helpful are purifiers with a HEPA filter. The latest generation HEPA 14 traps particles as small as 0.01 microns, whereas pet hair is usually 5–10 microns.
Does an air purifier alleviate asthma symptoms?
Yes, scientific studies show that the level and quality of such support depend on the airflow rate in the purifier, the type and construction of the filter, the size of allergen particles, and the placement of the purifier within the home.
Does an air purifier collect and remove dust?
Yes. Effectiveness depends on the features of the specific model. The most effective are purifiers with a HEPA filter. Filters of the latest HEPA H13 and HEPA H14 generations trap particles as small as 0.3 and 0.01 microns respectively.
Do air purifiers remove dust mites, viruses, and fungi?
Yes. An air purifier helps remove dust and dust mites. It also handles bacteria, viruses, and fungal spores (including mould) circulating in the air.
What is the best air purifier under £500?
Air purifiers under £500 worth considering include, among others, Xiaomi Air Purifier 3C, TCL Breeva A1C H13, Sharp UA-PE30E-WB, Webber AP8400, Blaupunkt AHS701, or Ravanson AP-30.
How often should I replace the filter in my air purifier?
It is generally recommended to replace HEPA/EPA filters once a year, and the carbon filter every two years. The frequency of filter replacement depends on the operating time of the purifier and the level of pollution. The lifespan of pre-filters is usually 10 years. The device will inform you when a replacement is needed.
Can an air purifier handle cigarette smoke?
Cigarette smoke is a mixture of 5000 different substances, including nearly 250 highly toxic ones. Air purifiers are designed to remove allergens, smog particles, microorganisms, and harmful odours.
A good air purifier will deal with both solid particles (e.g., cadmium, arsenic, and benzopyrene) and gases (e.g., formaldehyde, acetone) released by cigarette smoke.
Is an air purifier with UV lamp safe?
UV lamps and UV-C LED diodes operate solely inside the purifier. They are safe because radiation does not pass through the casing. They are intended to help maintain a clean environment.
Although there are models on the market that utilise this technology, it should be regarded as an addition within the filtration system. The US Environmental Protection Agency considers it too ineffective to be used as a standalone solution.
Can I include the cost of an air purifier in my company's expenses?
Based on the interpretation issued by the National Tax Information Office on 19 July 2017, the purchase of such devices as filters or air purifiers can be classified as a business expense if they serve to improve working conditions or increase revenue. Devices used at home cannot be 'deducted' as business expenses.
Such cases are considered individually, so for complete certainty, contact the KIS for an official interpretation.
Does an air purifier dry out the air?
The operation of an air purifier does not affect the humidity in the room. However, there are devices available on the market with this function. Use them only if humidity exceeds 50–60%.
Air purifier or humidifier – which should I choose?
An air purifier filters the air and removes pollutants (e.g., dust, particles, or smog components). A humidifier maintains an appropriate level of humidity. An air humidifier is more suitable in winter months when indoor air is drier.
There are also 2-in-1 purifiers available on the market that combine both functions.
Learn more about humidifiers and how they work in the article: The Best Humidifier for Air (Ranking).
Is it worth buying an air purifier with a humidifier?
Both devices can help allergy sufferers or asthmatics. They provide clean air and appropriate humidity. You can choose a hybrid device with both purification and humidification functions or buy separate devices and use them as needed. However, it is generally better to purchase two separate devices, mainly due to efficiency, device prices, and operating costs.
How to make an air purifier?
You will find many tutorials online for DIY enthusiasts on how to build a homemade air purifier. You will need a fan, HEPA filters, a box, a power cord, and basic tools (tape, scissors, screwdriver, ruler, compass, or pencil).
Another method involves using activated charcoal. Simply crush a few tablets and scatter them on the soil in a pot. Replenish the charcoal every 2–3 weeks.
Some plant species can also naturally help purify the air. The best living air purifiers include Peace Lily, Ficus Benjamin, Sansevieria, or Begonia.
