The purifier you bought for the bedroom is the one you switch off at night.
This one is built for the hours you're asleep. Complete darkness, 25 dB, and it's still running at six in the morning because nothing about it gave you a reason to turn it off.
It goes completely dark. Every LED off, not dimmed down to a glow. One of the most common reasons a bedroom purifier ends up unplugged is that it lights the room all night, and this one doesn't.
25 dB on its lowest setting. That is below a whisper. Quiet enough that you'll stop noticing it by the second night, which is the only test that matters.
The number that means something. Rated up to 490 sq ft, a figure that assumes the air gets cleaned once an hour. Here is what it actually does: five times an hour in a 9 m² nursery or box room, three times an hour in a 15 m² bedroom. Now you can pick the right room.
A full pound of activated carbon. 450 g of it, in a machine that weighs 3.2 kg in total. That is the layer dealing with damp, cooking and next door's smoke, and it's the first one most brands cut back on. Very few of them publish the weight of theirs.
Built to still be running in five years. The most common complaint in this category isn't performance. It's a motor that gives up inside twelve months. Five-year warranty, free returns if it isn't right.
For a bedroom, a nursery or a box room rather than an open-plan downstairs, and for anyone who has already tried leaving a purifier on all night and given up.
