You can actually get quite a lot for a reasonable price when it comes to buying your next air purifier appliance.
But don’t take our word for it – you can also ask one of the top experts on everything.
That’s right, it’s ChatGPT, a technology that has skyrocketed in terms of fame throughout this year. Just a couple of years ago, when this came out, hardly anybody was talking about it – but they’re paying attention now. More people are using this AI engine instead of a Google search to figure out what to buy, and what to look for in a particular market.
So we sat down and asked ChatGPT about what you can get for $200 in order to clean your indoor air.
About the Shopper
First, we asked ChatGPT a more general question – why do people buy air purifiers?
This is what the model said:
“People buy air purifiers to improve indoor air quality by reducing airborne allergens, odors, smoke, and pollutants that can trigger health issues like allergies or asthma. By filtering out dust, pet dander, pollen, mold spores, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), air purifiers create a cleaner, fresher environment that may help people breathe more easily and enhance their overall well-being.”
We thought that ChatGPT did a good job of including most of the main items that people are looking to eliminate from their indoor air.
First, there is the range of allergens that can cause respiratory conditions and other symptoms.
Then there’s odors, like smoke or pet odor, for example. You might have to use an ozone machine for denser animal smells, but an air purifier can be a good first line of attack – or of defense!
Then there’s volatile organic compounds, as well as items like dust mites, pollen, mold spores, and pet dander.
This survey goes a long way in explaining why you would want to have these machines running inside your home or living space.
Best Features for $200
We then asked ChatGPT to tell us what you can get for your money when you’re shopping in the $200 price range.
One of the first answers it gave was that you can get additional filtration beyond just a basic HEPA filter.
ChatGPT pointed out that HEPA can capture 99.97% of particles down to .3 µm, which includes things like mold spores and pet dander.
It also pointed out that you can get a pre-filter in addition to your main filter, and that this can really cleanse the indoor air in a better way.
In addition, ChatGPT suggest that you can get appliances with air quality sensors for monitoring, and smart home integration features.
In summary, it provides this guidance.
“In short, a $200 budget can secure a feature-rich air purifier that’s energy efficient, smart-enabled, whisper-quiet, and equipped to handle a broad range of common indoor air pollutants. Look for models that combine several of these features to ensure maximum value and a healthier home environment.”
That’s pretty good, in our opinion.
Makes and Models
When we asked ChatGPT about the best models for home use, it returned some good names from some of the manufacturers that we work with, including Austin Air and AirPura. (It’s important to note that the most affordable models from these makers start at around $500-$700, so for $200 models, you’ll want something else.)
There’s also the BetterAir systems that offer probiotic components, and other models that incorporate different kinds of new technology beyond simple filtration.
As for good models under $200, you can take a look at the Airfree 1000, or the T800 for small spaces. This BetterAir model has probiotic technology, too. Or as a starter, try this tower unit for just $167.99. Then there’s the Respiray personal wearable model, with HEPA particulate protection and great ergonomic design.
It’s also important to ask about activated carbon, which is one thing that the model’s response seems to leave out. Activated carbon is responsible for the adsorption of VOCs, and certain kinds of chemical binding which are helpful to the air-cleansing process.
