Best Answer

The electrical air filter works by inducing charge on the suspended particles in air , where as mechanical filter removes these particles by physically trapping them. Even the smallest of particle will be removed in electrical filter which might escape in mechanical filter if the filter material is having bigger mesh size. This makes electrical filter better.

Mechanical filters are more effective at capturing particles and they require less maintenance. Electronic air filters tend to lose efficiency if they are not cleaned on a regular basis and even at their highest efficiency, electronic ones tend to not catch as many particles as a mechanical one.
