This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. The CADR aims to provide an objective measure of the effectiveness of a portable air purifier at dealing with different types of allergens. Air purifiers use different kinds of filters to do their job – usually, a large, washable, reusable pre-filter to collect bigger particles, plus a finer filter, which is usually a disposable high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter.

It connects to Ikea’s Tradfri smart ecosystem, so if you’ve invested in Ikea’s smart bulbs and speakers, you can hook up your purifier, check the air quality and change the current settings via an app.And while it’s noisy when maxed out – peaking at over 53dB – it’s much more easy-going at lower speeds, just 31dB on the first few settings. l/min (35°C), we’ve raised the bar with the speed and ease of installation, commissioning and servicing, alongside improvements in efficiency and control. This works as a remote control, but also allows you to schedule when to turn it on and off, plus which mode to use, and set different schedules for different days of the week. Dust/Pollen - Living with a dust or pollen allergy can turn simple jobs like cleaning into a recipe for sniffs and itchy eyes.

You’re more likely to know Acer for its PCs, laptops or monitors, but its foray into air purifiers shows a lot of promise. We then run standardised tests, spraying a test aerosol inside a small room for five seconds and using an air quality meter to record particulate levels. Key specs – CADR: 240m³/h; Max room size: 20m²; Power settings: 4; Dimensions (WDH): 51 x 19 x 53cm; Weight: 5. This appliance is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities (including children), or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

We first test air purifiers in normal household circumstances to assess their features, noise levels and performance with everyday particulates and irritants, including wood smoke, pollen and pet dander. For all detailed product related information (technical specifications, detailed user/operation manual, installation instructions, etc. At that speed it’s fairly noisy, with sound levels reaching around 48dBA, but in general use the lowest setting will be fine, and this takes the noise levels down to 36. The length of time this lasts varies, but on average expect it to need replacing every six months (or fewer if you use the machine less).
