Why it matters
The PuroAir 240 HEPA Air Purifier is a HEPA room unit air purifier that its maker rates for 1,000 sq ft.
At the usual 4.8 air changes an hour and an 8-foot ceiling, a 1,000-square-foot rating implies about 640 cubic feet of clean air a minute. In a 12-by-15-foot bedroom that would turn the air over roughly 27 times an hour.
Quietest setting, per the maker: 22 dB. Power draw: 45 W.
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 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 1,000 square feet is below the middle of the range we cover: 69 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 PuroAir 400 HEPA Air Purifier: rated room size 1,000 sq ft here vs 2,000 sq ft; power draw 45 W here vs 80 W.
