It depends on the model's CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate). We carry everything from compact desk units that handle 10-15 m2 to whole-house machines for 100 m2 and up. As a rule of thumb, pick a purifier rated for slightly more than your room - it'll clean the air faster and can run on a quieter setting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our air purifiers, humidifiers, and filters. Can't find what you're looking for? Contact our team.HEPA stands for High-Efficiency Particulate Air. A true HEPA filter traps 99.97% of particles at 0.3 microns - things like dust, pollen, mold spores, and pet dander. Premium models with H13/H14 grades go even further, catching ultrafine particles below 0.1 microns. If you're dealing with allergies or bushfire smoke, HEPA filtration is what you want.
It varies. Pre-filters usually last 3-6 months, carbon filters 6-12 months, and main HEPA filters anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. Blueair recommends swapping every 6 months, while Philips and Levoit typically last 12 months. Most modern units have a built-in indicator that tells you when it's time.
They do - and it's one of the main reasons people buy them. Smoke particles are typically 0.1-2.5 microns, well within HEPA capture range. During fire season, close your windows, set the purifier to high, and let it do its thing. Models with strong CADR ratings will clear a room noticeably within 15-20 minutes.
Yes. HEPA filters remove the most common triggers - dust mites, pollen, pet dander, and mold spores. Carbon filters handle odours and chemicals. For best results, run it continuously on a low setting and choose a unit rated for your room size or bigger. Many of our customers notice a difference within the first few days.
CADR tells you how much clean air the purifier produces per hour (in m3). ACH tells you how many times it can filter all the air in your room per hour. Ideally you want 4-6 air changes per hour. Together, these two numbers give you the clearest picture of real-world performance.
Yes - compact car-specific models plug into USB or your 12V socket. They're effective for a vehicle cabin, great for filtering out exhaust fumes, dust, and pollen during your commute. Browse our catalog for current options.
On the lowest setting, most run at 20-30 dB - barely audible. Sleep modes drop even further, to around 17-24 dB with dimmed displays. On high speed you'll hear them (50-65 dB), but that's usually only needed for quick clean-ups. We list noise levels for every model so you can compare.
All our products come with the standard Australian Type I plug (three-pin angled), so they work straight out of the box - no adapter needed.
More often than you'd think. Air conditioning pulls moisture out of indoor air, and in winter - especially in southern states - humidity can drop below 30%. That's when you start getting dry skin, scratchy throats, and restless sleep. A humidifier brings things back into the comfortable 40-60% range.
Cool mist models use ultrasonic vibration to release a fine, room-temperature mist. They're energy-efficient and safe around kids. Warm mist heats the water first, which can feel soothing and helps kill waterborne bacteria. In Australia, cool mist is the more popular choice, but warm mist has its place in heavily air-conditioned offices or cooler climates.
Rinse the tank daily and do a deeper clean once a week with diluted white vinegar. Use filtered or distilled water to cut down on mineral buildup. Don't let water sit for more than a day, and replace filters on schedule. It only takes a few minutes and keeps everything running safely.
For a bedroom (15-25 m2), a 3-5 litre tank will do. Living rooms (25-50 m2) suit a 5-8 litre unit. Keep ceiling height in mind too - higher ceilings mean more air to humidify. Each product page shows the recommended coverage area.
Only if the unit has a dedicated aromatherapy tray. Adding oils directly to the tank can damage the ultrasonic plate and void the warranty. Check the product specs - we note it clearly when a model supports essential oils.
Most orders ship within 1-2 business days. Metro deliveries usually arrive in 2-5 business days.
