Why it matters
The MOOKA M05 Air Purifier is a HEPA room unit air purifier that its maker rates for 1250 square feet.
At the usual 4.8 air changes an hour and an 8-foot ceiling, a 1,250-square-foot rating implies about 800 cubic feet of clean air a minute. In a 12-by-15-foot bedroom that would turn the air over roughly 33 times an hour.
Filtration: HEPA. Quietest setting, per the listing: 15 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.
It qualifies for our lists Best Air Purifiers for Basements and Musty Odors, Best Air Purifiers for Home Offices, where it is ranked against every model that meets the same rule.
Its rated room size of 1,250 square feet is above the middle of the range we cover: 90 of the 152 purifiers with a stated figure come in lower, and the range runs from 62 square feet to 4,800 square feet.
