It's no surprise that in-home air purifiers have taken off in the last year or two. We had experts advising us to keep the windows open when mixing inside our homes, but that's not exactly realistic in December when it's freezing cold and you're trying to enjoy Christmas dinner with your family. 

But air purifiers offered a much more elegant solution. Instead of freezing to death with the windows open, you can suck air into a fan and filter out all of those airborne pathogens and whatever else might be floating around in the air. 

The thing is, buying an air purifier doesn't guarantee that your home will be fresh and pathogen-free because not all purifiers were created equal. There are purifiers like the HP980 Air Max, and then there are tiny battery-operated fans that blow air in and out without really doing much at all. You might be thinking, do I really need to spend money on a big, heavy-duty air purifier? Does it really make any difference, surely that little one will do just fine? It's just blowing air through a filter, after all. 

The truth is, the HP980 Air Max is head and shoulders above other purifiers and you absolutely should invest in a high-quality purifier. Here are some of the reasons why you need a heavy-duty air purifier.

You Smell More Than You Think

When you're in your home, you probably don't notice the weird smells, but other people do. Maybe you've got a pet and they stink up the place. Maybe your dinner is less than appetizing and your guests can smell it three days later. 

Unless you want people to think your home is gross, you need to do something about it. A tiny air purifier won't cut it, you need something with a bit more power. Heavy-duty purifiers like the HP980 Air Max have carbon filters and enough fan power to pull those horrible smells out of the air and get rid of them, so your guests don't think that your house stinks every time they come around.

Your Tiny Air Purifier Isn't Doing Anything

Ok, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration. It's doing something, but it's not doing much. Weak air purifiers are only taking in a small amount of air and recycling it, so most of the smells, pathogens, and pollutants are sitting in the air still. In other words, unless you are just trying to clean the air in a tiny cupboard, it's pointless. Something like the HP980 Air Max is a whole home air purifier that actually removes all of the bad stuff. 

You Can't Be Bothered To Keep Changing The Filter

You might tell yourself that you'll be good about changing the filter but let's be honest, you can't be bothered, can you? We all know that, which is why heavy-duty air purifiers have things like silver nanoparticles to kill off bacteria and keep the filter clean for longer. 

Unfortunately, as much as you'd like to, you can't avoid replacing the filter altogether. But a decent air conditioner will tell you when it's time to change the filter, so you don't have to trouble yourself with remembering it. Hopefully, in the future, the filter will be able to change itself too but for now, you'll still have to put a bit of work in.

You're Not Getting Any Younger

As much as you might like to pretend it isn't happening, we're all getting older. But did you know that air purifiers can actually slow down aging? In amongst all of that stuff floating in the air you'll find particles called free radicals. They speed up the aging process by oxidizing cells, so if you want to stay youthful, you need to get rid of them. 

You can't take any chances here, so it's best to call in the big guns and invest in a heavy-duty air conditioner that will keep you young and healthy for as long as possible. Just don't expect it to work any miracles.

The HP980 Air Max is one of the best heavy-duty air purifiers on the market right now. This effective whole home air purifier will get rid of any allergens, and bad smells from your home. There are plenty of cheaper models on the market but the reality is, they just don't cut it. If you are really concerned about the air quality in your home, the HP980 Air Max is the way to go.
