Why it matters
The Hathaspace HSP001 Air Purifier is a HEPA room unit air purifier that its maker rates for 700 square feet.
At the usual 4.8 air changes an hour and an 8-foot ceiling, a 700-square-foot rating implies about 448 cubic feet of clean air a minute. In a 12-by-15-foot bedroom that would turn the air over roughly 19 times an hour.
Filtration: HEPA. Quietest setting, per the listing: 43 db. Power draw: 100 watts.
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.
It qualifies for our lists Best Air Purifiers for Allergies, Best Air Purifiers for Kitchens, Best Air Purifiers for Home Offices, where it is ranked against every model that meets the same rule.
Its rated room size of 700 square feet is below the middle of the range we cover: 53 of the 152 purifiers with a stated figure come in lower, and the range runs from 62 square feet to 4,800 square feet.
Compared with the Hathaspace HSP002 Air Purifier: rated room size 700 square feet here vs 1500 square feet; power draw 100 watts here vs 9 watts.
