Black Friday Air Purifier Deals Australia 2026: Real Prices Tracked Before the Sale

Drafted with AI assistance and checked against published specifications and certifications. First-hand measurements appear only where stated. How we make content

Amazon Australia’s Black Friday sale runs from Tuesday 17 November to Cyber Monday, 30 November 2026 (as reported by TechRadar Australia), with Black Friday itself on 27 November. A genuine air purifier deal is one below the lowest price the purifier has actually sold for, not below its RRP. The live status below is updated through the sale and tells you which purifiers are at or below their lowest recorded price, and which to wait for.

In the Navy you never took a reading at face value until you had a baseline to compare it with. Sale prices are the same. Without a record of what something sold for last month, a “was $399.99, now $299” tag tells you nothing. This page is that record.

The price tracker: what is a real deal

I started recording Amazon Australia prices for each purifier on 19 October. Amazon’s October Prime Big Deal Days ran from 29 September to 5 October, so none of my pre-sale records fall within an Amazon sale event. The verdict compares today’s price with the lowest price I had recorded before it: below that is a new low and a real deal; equal is at its low; above it, wait. The full history is under the table.

Room sizes use the US EPA rule (smoke CADR in cfm at least two-thirds of the floor area in square feet) on each maker’s published CADR: Coway US smoke CADRs, Winix’s 232 cfm, Levoit US’s 391 cfm for the 600S-P, and the 187 m³/h CADR on Levoit’s AU Core 300 listing (not split by smoke). *Philips publishes its 520 m³/h CADR on China’s GB/T test, which is not directly comparable with the US figures, so I have not converted it. All prices are from Amazon AU listings sold by the brand’s Australian distributor, Coway Australia or Amazon AU itself.

Black Friday 2026 dates in Australia

Amazon’s dates are as reported by TechRadar Australia, which says Amazon has announced the sale will begin on 17 November and end on Cyber Monday. Other retailers run their own Black Friday weeks, but the purifiers on this page are all sold on Amazon AU by the brand’s distributor or Amazon itself, so that is the price I track.

The prices that went up before the sale

On 5 November, four of the eight purifiers I track cost more than they did in October, and a fifth had only just come back to its low:

I can’t tell you why a price moved; Amazon and its sellers change prices constantly. What I can tell you is the arithmetic. If the Winix drops to $299 on Black Friday, that is “25% off RRP” on the badge but $20 more than it sold for in late October. The ACCC has warned retailers about misleading “was/now” and strikethrough pricing before Black Friday, and in June 2025 three retailers each paid a $19,800 infringement notice over allegedly misleading Black Friday “sitewide” sale claims. Its advice to shoppers is the same as mine: check prices before the sale starts.

The purifiers worth buying this Black Friday

These are the purifiers I would actually buy, by room. Prices and comments in this section are as at 5 November; the live status at the top of the page has today’s verdict. Each has a published CADR you can size with, is sold in Australia by the brand’s distributor or Amazon AU, and uses replacement filters you can buy here. A purifier is only as good as its next filter.

Best for bedrooms: Levoit Core 300

Price history$169on 5 Nov, its lowest

#1 | Bedrooms under 15 m²

Levoit Core 300

CADR 187 m³/h (Levoit AU listing), ~15 m² on the EPA rule | Pre-filter + carbon + HEPA in one cylinder | No ioniser | 24 dB Sleep mode | 4.6 stars from 746 ratings | Sold by VeSync (Levoit AU) | $169, RRP $219 (5 Nov 2026)

It has sat at $169 every time I have checked since 19 October, so the “$50 off RRP” is its normal price. By CADR per dollar it is still the best value bedroom purifier on this list. If Black Friday takes it under $169, that is a real saving; if not, $169 is fair. Filters (Core 300-RF) are $55 and last six to eight months.

The one I own: Coway Airmega 150

Tested at home32.1 dBASilent mode at 1 m (my reading)

#2 | Bedrooms to ~21 m² | My own unit

Coway Airmega 150 (AP-1019C)

Smoke CADR 153 cfm (Coway US), ~21 m² on the EPA rule | Pre-filter + carbon + HEPA | 35 W | Sensitive Choice approved | 4.7 stars from 304 ratings | Sold by Coway Australia | $299 (5 Nov 2026), $254 on 19 Oct

This runs in my 12.5 m² bedroom. It is quiet enough to sleep beside on Silent, and the pre-filter shows what it pulls out of a coastal Queensland house with a dog. I would buy it again, but not at $299 when it sold for $254 on 19 October. That is my target.

Best for living areas: Philips 3200

Living areas520 m³/hCADR, GB/T test (Philips)

#3 | Large bedrooms and living areas

Philips PureProtect 3200 (AC3220)

CADR 520 m³/h on China’s GB/T test (Philips) | HEPA NanoProtect + carbon | No ions or ozone (Philips) | 15 to 47.5 dB(A) | 36 W | Filter ~1 year | 4.9 stars from 44 ratings | Sold by Amazon AU | $382, RRP $549 (5 Nov 2026)

Check the Philips 3200 Price on Amazon →

Back at $382 after $395 in late October. Its 15 dB(A) minimum (Philips’ figure; I have not measured it) makes it the one I would short-list for a large bedroom. Treat the RRP as fiction: it has never been near $549 in my checks.

Best for big open-plan rooms: Levoit Core 600S-P

Black Friday status$459down from $599 on 19 Oct

#4 | Open-plan rooms to ~54 m²

Levoit Core 600S-P

CADR 391 cfm (Levoit US; 49 W is the US model), ~54 m² on the EPA rule | Pre-filter + carbon + HEPA | 49 W | App control | 4.6 stars from 6,171 ratings | Sold by VeSync (Levoit AU) | $459, RRP $599 (5 Nov 2026)

Check the Core 600S-P Price on Amazon →

This one has already dropped: $599 on 19 October, $459 since. For a living area or open-plan space, it is the most clean air per dollar on this list at today’s price.

Good purifiers, wrong price on 5 November: Winix 5500-2 and Coway Airmega 400

Black Friday status$359.96was $279 on 28 Oct

Wait | Living rooms to ~32 m²

Winix Zero 4-Stage (5500-2)

Pre-filter + carbon + HEPA + PlasmaWave (switch it off) | 4.6 stars from 27,695 ratings | Sold by Amazon AU | $359.96, RRP $399.99 (5 Nov 2026). Was $279 on 28 Oct

Check the Winix Zero Price on Amazon →

A good purifier at the wrong price. At $279 it was the cheapest way to clean a 32 m² room; at $359.96 the Core 600S-P is better value. I would switch PlasmaWave off: Winix says you can, and it turns off automatically in Sleep mode.

Large rooms and smoke328 cfmsmoke CADR (Coway US)

Wait | Large rooms and smoke

Coway Airmega 400 (AP-2015F)

Smoke CADR 328 cfm (Coway US), ~46 m² on the EPA rule | 2 pre-filters + 2 Max2 carbon/HEPA filters | 66 W | Sensitive Choice approved | Sold by Coway Australia | $999 (5 Nov 2026), $799 on 19 Oct

Check the Airmega 400 Price on Amazon →

$200 dearer than in October. Below $799 it is a strong buy for a large room or a smoke-season safe room; at $999, buy the Core 600S-P instead.

Stock up on genuine filters

If you already own a purifier, the best Black Friday buy may be its next filter. Buy the brand’s own filter from the brand or Amazon AU; the cheap “compatible” packs that fill the search results are not the filter the purifier was tested with.

The Coway set on Amazon AU ships from Amazon US. For any filter, “a deal” is anything under these prices.

How to check a deal in 60 seconds

1. Compare with the tracker, not the RRP. If my “buy at or below” price is higher than the deal price, it is a real low. 2. Check who sells it. Under the Buy button, “Ships from” and “Sold by” should be Amazon AU or the brand’s Australian distributor. An overseas seller usually means no Australian warranty and filters that are hard to buy here. 3. Check the exact model. The Core 300 and Core 300S are different purifiers, and some Levoit and Winix listings carry plasma or ioniser versions. 4. Size it with the CADR. “Covers up to 80 m²” on the box is usually one air change an hour; the EPA rule gives a room about a fifth that size. 5. Read the conditions. The ACCC’s own advice: check prices before the sale starts, and check advertisements for disclaimers or conditions.

Sizing in detail is in the best air purifiers in Australia; for a tight budget, see the best air purifiers under $200, and for a big space, the best purifiers for large rooms.

Buy now, or wait?

If your pick is at or below its low in the live status at the top, there is little to gain by waiting, and smoke or pollen days do not wait for sales. Buying now and then watching the price costs you nothing to check.

If it shows “Wait”, wait. Put it in your Amazon cart so it is one tap away, then check back: I update the tracker through the sale. When it reaches its lowest recorded price or below, that is the time.

Don’t wait past summer if you need it for smoke. Demand rises when smoke arrives, and stock of a particular model can run short. A purifier sized properly for your bedroom, bought at a fair price before summer, beats a bargain you can’t get when the smoke arrives. The smoke-day setup is in the bushfire smoke guide.

Shopping for a water filter as well? I track those prices the same way: Black Friday water filter deals in Australia.
