Best HomeKit air purifiers for the Home app in 2024

One of the best air purifiers can monitor the air quality levels in your home and then clean the air for a healthier and happier environment. 

With many reports across the world of smog-filled skies and high levels of pollution within cities, there's never been a better time to pick up one of the best HomeKit air purifiers for your Apple smart home set-up.

The best air purifiers don't simply clean the air in your home, but they're able to sense and then remove allergens, mold, and viruses as they suck the old air in and pump out cleaned air. 

The best HomeKit air purifiers can be controlled with Siri and the Home App. This means you can monitor a range of different parameters, including air quality and purity, through in-built apps, too. With support for scenes, you can also set up a HomeKit air purifier to start pumping when you leave the house with one of the best Homekit door locks or go to sleep with the sleep app. They're a good way to improve air quality after your HomeKit air quality sensor has spotted a problem, too.

The best HomeKit air purifiers work with your favorite air quality monitors, making it easy to monitor and clean the air in your home. With HomeKit, you can adjust fan speeds, slot them into goodnight scenes, and even include them in automation with smoke detectors to combat odors if you leave something in the oven too long.

If you want the most bang for your buck, the Smartmi P1 may be for you. The P1 packs in a powerful HEPA filtration system that can clean small to medium rooms fast and efficiently — in as little as ten minutes in some cases. Smartmi's air purifier can trap particulates as small as 80 Nanos, and the onboard dual-laser sensor allows for hands-free operation with an automatic mode.

If you don't mind paying a premium, the Molekule Air Mini+ takes air purification even further with its advanced PECO filter. PECO technology utilizes the power of UV light to destroy molecules — including viruses, bacteria, mold, pet dander, pollen, VOCs, and more. And with Home app controls, it can do it all with just a few taps in the Home app.
