8. Price and Replacement Costs
Price Can Be Deceiving. In the air purifier market, there are inexpensive air purifiers that are very effective, and extremely expensive air purifiers that do not clean the air very well at all. In which case, cost is not necessarily the way to determine the best air purifier for your situation. Instead, the criteria given in this Air Purifier Buying Guide is a better way to judge an air purifier.
Know the Replacement Costs. It is also important to verify replacement costs before buying an air purifier, so you understand the total lifetime cost. Some air filters cost a couple hundred dollars a year in replacement filters.
Replacement costs for the New-Aire Air Purifier are minimal, consisting only of the Hepa/Activated Carbon filter cartridge ($32 per replacement) and the UV lamp ($15 per replacement), which last 1-2 years and 1 year respectively.
