Reasons to use a wall mounted purifier
There are lots of reasons why a wall mounted air purifier may be the only or best option including the following:
Small home or room size
If you have a small home or need to situate a purifier in a small room, then mounting the purifier to the wall will help make the most of the room size and leave space for furniture etc.
Less floorspace used
Floorspace is a premium in small rooms or work spaces which need large desks or workbenches. Often fixing a purifier to the wall will maximise floorspace and avoid the unit getting the way in a busy environment. Fixing the purifier to the wall will stop people tripping over the unit or it having to be moved around frequently.
Need to keep purifier away from children (safety)
If you have small children or babies you may be concerned that they may get hurt by sticking fingers into the purifier or even slot toys into the expensive device causing it to break.
Wall mounting a purifier solves this issue by keeping the unit of the reach and eyeline of small kids.
Elevated position is better than on the floor
If a purifier is placed on the floor it won’t perform optimally as can only reach and purifier a small portion of a rooms air.
Fixing a purifier to the wall in an elevated position, will mean that the device can purify the air of a whole room easily.
Final thoughts
If you are looking a for a wall mounted air purifier, we would suggest the MinusA2 from RabbitAir as it represents the best in terms of price range, air purification capability and offers a versatile design and lots of fun covers are available!
