Why it matters
The IQAir GC MultiGas XE Air Purifier is a HEPA room unit air purifier that its maker rates for 1125 square feet.
At the usual 4.8 air changes an hour and an 8-foot ceiling, a 1,125-square-foot rating implies about 720 cubic feet of clean air a minute. In a 12-by-15-foot bedroom that would turn the air over roughly 30 times an hour.
Filtration: IQAir PreMax PreFilter; IQAir V5-Cell Filter; IQAir HyperHepa.
