Why it matters
The FreAire HAP605 Air Purifier is a large-room / whole-floor air purifier that its maker rates for 2600 square feet.
At the usual 4.8 air changes an hour and an 8-foot ceiling, a 2,600-square-foot rating implies about 1,664 cubic feet of clean air a minute. In a 12-by-15-foot bedroom that would turn the air over roughly 69 times an hour.
Filtration: Washable Pre-filter+HEPA. Quietest setting, per the listing: 20 db.
Price-wise it sat in the cheapest third of the 57 large-room / whole-floor models we cover when we checked; the button shows today's price.
