Why it matters
The Carrier PGAPXCAR1625 Air Purifier is a HEPA room unit air purifier.
Room ratings are usually quoted at about 4.8 air changes per hour for an 8-foot ceiling; a figure quoted 'in one hour' is a single air change and describes a much lighter duty.
Price-wise it sat in the middle third of the 74 hepa room unit models we cover when we checked; the button shows today's price.
