Two PuroAir models ranked among the Top 5 in this year's Newsweek Readers' Choice™ Awards, extending the brand's three-year run of consumer recognition.
PuroAir, a leader in advanced home air purification, today announced that two of its products, the PuroAir 240 HEPA Air Purifier and the PuroAir 100i Smart HEPA Air Purifier, have been named in the top 5 of the Best Air Purifier category of the Newsweek Readers’ Choice™ Awards 2026.
PuroAir’s mission is to improve indoor air quality for living spaces of all sizes.

The Newsweek Readers’ Choice™ Awards recognize standout businesses, brands, and products across a wide range of consumer categories. Winners are determined through a public voting process in which readers select the companies and organizations they believe deliver exceptional quality, value, and customer experience.
"Winning Newsweek's Readers' Choice™ Award for Best Air Purifier for a third time is an incredible honor because it reflects the voices of the people who use our products every day," said Kelly D'Elena, Vice President of Marketing, PuroAir.
“We're especially proud that this year's recognition includes the PuroAir 100i, our newest and most compact HEPA air purifier, which launched this past spring. It's incredibly rewarding to see customers embrace it so quickly and recognize the quality and performance we've worked hard to deliver. Their trust motivates us to keep innovating and making cleaner, healthier indoor air more accessible for every home."
The 2026 program highlights leading companies and products across numerous categories, including Home Goods, where the PuroAir 240 HEPA Air Purifier ranked #2 and the PuroAir 100i Smart HEPA Air Purifier ranked No. 4 for Best Air Purifier 2026.
“Each year, the Readers’ Choice™ Awards celebrate the best of the best, as chosen by the people who matter most — our readers,” said Newsweek Editor-in-Chief Jennifer H. Cunningham. “We’re proud to recognize those organizations that continue to raise the bar for quality, innovation, and customer experience.”
