Features to Look for: Best Restaurant Air Purifiers
Medical-Grade Filtration
Medical-grade HEPA filters offer better-than-HEPA filtration. HEPA, known as the gold standard for residential air purifying, traps 99.97% of particles down to .3 microns.
Commercial air purifiers even beat this rate, easily removing allergens, bacteria, mold spores and viruses from the air. Most restaurant air filtration systems listed above also include additional filtration for virus and bacteria or odor control.
Reliable and Long-Lasting
If you’re using an air purifier in commercial settings, you want them to last. Commercial-grade air purifiers are designed with heavy-duty parts that are designed for consistent use for years.
Enviroklenz air purifiers are American-made and known for use in commercial settings.
Air Quality Sensing
Automatic air purifying takes the thinking out of healthy environments. Look for air purifiers with air quality sensors that constantly test your air for dust and particles - then automatically adjust their speed based on the number of airborne particles.
This ensures positive air quality for particles you can’t see. Aeromax PRO is known for their extensive air quality sensing and reporting.
Easy-to-Use
Confusing control panels are the last thing you want to deal with when air purifying. Most commercial models come with clear easy-to-use control panels.
Features to consider are programmable timers, air quality sensors and multiple fan speeds.
Portable
If you need air purification in different areas of your restaurant or bar, consider lightweight and compact options. Air purifiers work best in the room you need them most, so portable models allow for flexibility and simple storage when they're not needed.
Choose the Right Size
For the cleanest air possible, you want an air purifier that can filter air in the entire room 4 times an hour. We rate all of our air purifiers for room size based on this metric, so keep an eye out for the room size each model is rated at.
