Electrostatic Air Purifier filter units use electrostatic magnetism which causes certain pollutants to gravitate to an electrically charged plate just as with the electric air purifiers mentioned in the previous post. These electrostatic air purifier systems work in a very similar way to the electric spark units mentioned but with a main difference that is these electrostatic air purifiers do not create ozone gas. However, their effectiveness on the majority of odors, viruses and bacteria is pretty much non-existent. Electrostatic air purifier units also require the metal plate to be washed frequently. Plus because they move no air electrostatic air purifiers tend to clean hardly any air as well.

There may well be exceptions to this as there are new products and technologies constantly coming on to the market but generally electrostatic air purifiers are highly ineffective. Remember to always fully research an air purifier before purchasing.
