Product Information

It’s certainly the quietest we tested as well as one of the most efficient, using about as much energy as an LED lightbulb. The naked eye can’t see particles smaller than 10 microns in size, so, yes, most air purifiers will remove dust from the air. Key specs – CADR: 280m³/h; Max room size: 35m²; Power settings: 4; Dimensions (WDH): 25 x 25 x 45cm; Weight: 3.

Naturally grown reindeer lichen helps to trap and remove particles like pollen and other allergens, while a dense layer of coconut coir targets mould and bacteria. It was also one of the most effective models we tested for zapping odours, and left our kitchen smelling surprisingly fresh even after cooking a curry and a fish dish. At Cambridge, we’re developing new synthetic materials that are capable of removing the more challenging toxic compounds. It’s super quiet, too, and has a night mode so that the LED screen dims when you’re trying to get to sleep.However, with a HEPA filter, a carbon odour filter, an ioniser and UV-C treatment to combat germs, the HoMedics has a more robust set of air treatment features than other purifiers in its class. While many of us worry about the air quality on bustling city streets – heck, Dyson even launched a wearable air purifier to tackle the problem – few of us are aware that the air we breathe inside our homes can be just as detrimental to our health. There are four manual speed modes and an automatic setting, although we found the turbo mode a little too noisy when watching TV in the same room. The contaminants could be anything from volatile organic compounds (VOCs) generated from doing work around the house (if, for example, you have freshly painted walls) to car fumes coming in through your windows when you air your home, or the fumes that result from frying food. Cleaning: Apart from wiping down the housing every now and then, cleaning the exterior of the device is minimal.

It is a nice looking device and successfully cleaned the air in the room I put it in (about 40m 2 ). There’s also an auto-sleep feature, a light and odour sensor and a filter indicator that means you can see at a glance if it needs changing.The main selling point is the odour filter, made of activated carbon pellets that trap pet smells and volatile organic compounds. Key specs – CADR: 187m³/h; Max room size: 80m²; Power settings: 3; Dimensions (HWD): 22 x 22 x 36cm; Weight: 3. The CADR rate measures how much air is filtered in cubic metres per hour (m 3ph) of clean, purified air produced.
