BEST AIR CLEANER FOR SMALL ROOMS AND BEDROOMS: The best device for small room air purification, the HoMedics Professional HEPA Air Purifier. Perfect for cleaning the air in rooms up to 55 sq m/hr (based on 2.5 m room height). Certified ECARF Allergy-Friendly and Approved by the British Allergy Foundation Now, the part you are interested in. Did it work? In short, Yes. After taking it out of the box and blasting it on 3 for a few hours, I felt better already. I let it run in our bedroom all night, and woke up on Monday with a negligible amount of bile in my throat where there was previously a canyon of snot. It was clearly having an effect. My breathing had improved, and I could even 'taste' the air being a little cleaner and without the taste of dog I have become accustomed to. The manufacturer states that the HoMedics Professional HEPA air purifier is a HEPA air purifier as it uses a “HEPA” filter as its main filter - even calling the unit “HoMedics Professional HEPA air purifier”. However, a true HEPA filter retains 99.97% of airborne particles at 0.3 microns. HoMedics, however, admits that their air cleaner has only a 99% filtration efficiency. Therefore, the filter of the HoMedics air purifier is either only a HEPA-type filter (so not an actual HEPA filter) or alternatively the air purifier is not leakage free. Either way, we find it very misleading that they have the words “Professional HEPA air purifier” in the title when the unit – by the manufacturers own admission, does not give a HEPA performance.

Clean air delivery rate (CADR) measures an air purifier’s cleaning ability by measuring how much air the device can clean per minute. A higher CADR rating indicates better performance. You probably don’t want a loud air purifier running constantly, especially if it’s in your bedroom or the living room.

The size of the room you intend to use the air purifier in is the most important factor to consider. You’ll have to replace filters regularly and clean your machine from time to time. When you’re considering the type of air purifier to get, think about the filters you’ll have to use with it and the ease of replacing them.Measure the approximate square feet of the room you want to put the air purifier in and filter your search for models that are designed to clean a room of that size. When we tested the unit for noise levels on the different settings, the unit is quiet on setting 1.
