1. CLEANFORCEAIR CP-MEGA1000 - Editor's Choice

The Clean Force Air makes short work on VOCs and other pollutants. It's my top pick because of the quality, effectiveness, and value for money it offers.

It has a higher CADR rating than any other air purifier I tested and has several stages of filtration.

The pre-filter, True HEPA filter, and activated carbon filter remove over 99% of VOCs and other pollutants that have made their way into your home.

It also has a large coverage area and can purify air in a bigger space than the IQAir, Mila Air, or Hathaspace models.

Clean Force Air works quickly thanks to 360 coverage and a range of fan speed settings.

It improved the air quality in my 1500-square-foot workshop in under 30 minutes during testing, and even in a larger area, it works fast.

What I really like about this high-performing air purifier is its simplicity.

It has touchscreen controls, smart sensors, and automatic settings, so it's easy to configure and run.

It may not be as cheap as the Okaysou or Nuwave models, but the quality and efficiency speak for themselves, and this air purifier stands out from the others I've tested.

If you want to control your air quality without breaking the bank, I recommend this air purifier.

2. NuWave 8001 - VOC Air Purifier for Large Spaces

The Nuwave air purifier is extremely effective at removing volatile organic compounds over large areas.

The advanced filtration system (with five different layers of protection) works against dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, and VOCs, giving you fresher air in your home.

This air purifier is equipped with air quality sensors to gauge the pollution levels and automatic adaptive settings.

It customizes the fan speed and settings for the current environment, making it as efficient as possible.

It's also Wi-Fi enabled with an app to control it. I found the app works okay but can be slow, and it's not as good as the Mila Air app.

What impressed me most was the speed of this air purifier. I tested it in my 2500-square-foot garage, and it took under 20 minutes to improve the air quality.

It's perfect for large open spaces, garages, workshops, or apartments requiring air purification.

The Nuwave is slightly more expensive than the Clean Force Air model but still cheaper than other air purifiers. 

It offers good value for money, and I recommend it for those who want to manage the indoor air quality in a large home or open space.

3. Mila Air Purifier - Top Air Purifier for VOC Removal in Bedrooms

The Mila air purifier is functional but unobtrusive. It's whisper quiet and runs at under 25 decibels - the equivalent of gentle breathing - with a compact and sleek design.

It fits into any home and is perfect for bedrooms, nurseries, or studies where you want clean air without any disturbance.

What surprised me most about this air purifier was how effective it was.

I usually find that quiet models have less impact, but during testing, it removed over 92% of the VOCs from the air in my test room in under 2 hours.

It may not have the same power as the NuWave or Clean Force Air models, but it's really effective at cleaning the air in small spaces.

The stand-out quality for me with this air purifier was the versatility.

It has seven compatible filters, each designed to deal with different pollutants.

The 'critter cuddler' activated carbon filters are best for removing VOCs, but the others are useful for pet dander, dust mites, or other contaminants.

The Mila Air is smart, simple, and silent. If you need quiet VOC removal, it's the one I recommend.

4. IQAir HealthPro Plus - Medically Certified Air Purifier for Formaldehyde and VOC

The IQAir purifier is high-quality and high-performing. It's medically certified, too, so I know it will keep my indoor air clean.

It may not have the coverage or CADR of the NuWave or Clean Force Air. Still, it's arguably more efficient, and this smart air purifier stands up to heavy use.

The unique hyperHEPA filtration removes ultrafine particles associated with viruses and bad odors, helping VOC removal by also removing contaminants that bond with them.

The advanced air filtration system also works fast.

It uses a 360-degree powerful fan system that evenly distributes air around a room, improving the overall air quality more quickly than other models.

The only downside of this high-performing air purifier is the cost.

It's noticeably more expensive than the Okaysou and Austin Air Healthmate purifiers and not for those on a tight budget.

However, it offers industrial-grade quality and will last over a decade if well maintained, offering long-term value for money. 

If you have pets or live in an area with a lot of pollution in the air, I recommend the IQAir HealthPro Plus.

5. Molekule Air Pro - Advanced Medical Grade Air Purifier for VOC

The Molekule air purifier is modern, intelligent, and effective.

The advanced filtration system makes it easy to keep all pollutants out of your home, and it's one of the highest-performing models I have tested.

The efficiency comes from the filtration system. It combines a HEPA, carbon, and Photo Electrochemical Oxidation filter (PECO) to remove all contaminants.

The PECO filter uses UV light to destroy gaseous pollutants, giving you an extra layer of protection.

It's also equipped with high-tech features that make it easy to use. It's Wi-Fi enabled and has an app I actually thought performed really well (unlike the NuWave app). 

It even has an internal particle sensor that alerts you when it needs cleaning.

Unfortunately, all that technology makes it pricey. It isn't quite as expensive as the IQAir, but you will pay more for this model. 

However, this air purifier can handle a lot, and I think it's worth the cost.

This is the air purifier to buy if you suffer from a wide range of VOCs, allergens, and pollutants.

6. Alen BreatheSmart 75i - Versatile Air Purifier for VOC and Formaldehyde 

The Alen BreatheSmart packs a lot into a small frame, and I was surprised at how well it performed.

The medical-grade HEPA filter and 4 pounds of activated carbon absorb over 99% of dust mites, pet dander, VOCs, and other asthma and allergy triggers.

It also provides odor control, leaving your home feeling and smelling fresher.

I found the Alen Breathesmart more versatile than other VOC air purifiers, with several different settings and modes.

It even has a customizable front panel to match the style of the room.

However, my favorite feature of the Alen Breathesmart air purifier is the Smart Sensor technology. 

It detects the current air quality accurately and has display lights on the front panels to indicate when it's cleaning the air. It even has app control and displays all the readings.

The adjustable settings, sensors, and auto mode mean it mostly runs itself, and over two days of testing, I didn't have to do much.

It isn't the cheapest model, but it's priced competitively for a premium air purifier.

It may not have the raw power of the Clean Air Force, but this versatile air purifier is more than enough for most homeowners with allergies.

7. Austin Air HealthMate - Energy Efficient Unit

I use my air purifier daily, but many homeowners only need an air purifier at certain times of year.

The Austin Air Healthmate is the perfect solution, offering efficient filtration and portability, letting you remove airborne contaminants when and where you need to.

Austin Air produces first-rate home appliances, and they are one of my go-to brands. 

This air purifier has a high-quality HEPA filter and almost 15 pounds of activated carbon-  more than the Alen, Molekule, or IQAir purifiers.

The higher volume of activated carbon means it can remove more VOCs and gaseous pollutants from your home.

Alongside the efficient filtration and air purification, it’s lightweight and easy to use.

It has caster wheels to roll between rooms and intuitive touchscreen controls that make it easy to configure. There is also a remote control, but I didn't really need it during testing.

The Austin Air Healthmate is a premium VOC air purifier, so it's more expensive.

However, it delivers commercial-grade filtration and costs about the same as the Alen and Clean Force Air models.

If you want a high-quality, portable air purifier that will last years, this is the one I recommend.

8. Okaysou AirMax10L - Budget VOC Air Purifier

VOC air purifiers can be expensive, but Okaysou offers quality air purification without the big price tag. 

This air purifier is low-cost to buy and run and far cheaper than the others on the list.

It also has less energy consumption than other models, so you'll save money on your monthly energy bill.

Despite the lower price, I was still impressed with how the purifier performed.

It has a 5-stage filtration process, including a unique 'nanois' filter that effectively captures larger particles as the air passes through it.

The Okaysou doesn’t have the same CADR or power as the NuWave or Clean Force Air but will still remove up to 99% of all VOCs (including formaldehyde), bacteria, and viruses.

Outside the low costs, I appreciated the user-friendly features built into the appliance.

It has a child lock to prevent children from accidentally changing the controls, automatic sensors to adjust the air purification settings, and even a sleep mode.

It may not have all the bells and whistles of the IQAir, but it still makes it easy to remove VOCs.

The Okaysou air purifier did well in my performance tests. Still, it is lower quality than the other models on the list. However, it is a lot more affordable.

If you want a shorter-term solution to remove VOCs on a budget, this is the model I recommend.

9. Airpura F600 and F600DLX - Air Purifier with Easiest Maintenance

I love playing with new gadgets and home appliances, but I appreciate that many homeowners want an appliance that works with minimal effort.

That’s why the Airpura is on the list.

This air purifier is so simple that anyone can use it. It has straightforward touchscreen controls, a remote control, and easily configurable air purification settings. It’s also easy to maintain and requires little cleaning.

There aren't many premium air purifiers you can just set and forget, but this is one of them.

Don't let the simplicity fool you, though, because this is a high-performing VOC specialist device.

The high volumes of activated carbon trap and lift all VOC, bacteria, and viruses, leaving you with safe and clean air.

It’s also customizable with different filters (like the Mila Air model), so you can add extra layers of filtration to match your specific needs.

The thoughtful design, user-friendly features, and effective filtration make this the perfect air purifier to reduce VOC levels in larger spaces. 

The only drawback is the price because this model is even more expensive than the IQAir.

However, if you want a high-quality, low-maintenance, and durable appliance that will purify the air without a second thought, this is the one I recommend.
