Why it matters

At the usual 4.8 air changes an hour and an 8-foot ceiling, a 968-square-foot rating implies about 620 cubic feet of clean air a minute. In a 12-by-15-foot bedroom that would turn the air over roughly 26 times an hour.
Filtration: HEPA. Quietest setting, per the listing: 45 db.
Price-wise it sat in the cheapest third of the 74 hepa room unit models we cover when we checked; the button shows today's price.
