My only issue with the IKEA filter is that it's sized too small to run quietly for any of my rooms - IKEA says 85sf on low. (My smallest room is 110sf) I guess it's okay for closets?
Also if I'm going to add an appliance to my home, why not pick the highest filtration possible? (if not unreasonably expensive)
- Aurornis 3y agoThose ratings are somewhat arbitrary. If you run it long enough and you’re not cycling the room air with external air constantly, it will be fine.
- turtlebits 3y agoRatings are important. For allergies, 4x air changes per hour is recommended.
- Aurornis 3y ago> Ratings are important. Yes, but they're not binary. Being slightly undersized doesn't mean it stops working altogether. > For allergies, 4x air changes per hour is recommended. If you have an allergy problem, the last thing you want to do is replace the filtered inside air with outside air every 15 minutes.
- SamBam 3y agoI think the implication is 4 full filtrations per hour, not 4 air changes. Air purifiers still sometimes call this "air changes" or sometimes "equivalent air changes" (e-AC/hr).
