Product Information

It connects to Ikea’s Tradfri smart ecosystem, so if you’ve invested in Ikea’s smart bulbs and speakers, you can hook up your purifier, check the air quality and change the current settings via an app. When you factor in 80 degrees of horizontal oscillation and 90 degree vertical, it’s very capable of moving a lot of air around a medium-sized room. We then run standardised tests, spraying a test aerosol inside a small room for five seconds and using an air quality meter to record particulate levels. This mid-sized model is perfect for small to medium-sized rooms up to 14m², such as your home office, bedroom or living space.

The HoMedics stays quiet at its lowest two settings, but noise levels ramp up on its highest setting to around 54. We’ve split the products here into three groups, with models suitable for small, mid-sized and larger rooms, and you can jump to each section with the links below.Easy-to-use controls are always a plus, with a good remote control a must-have when you’re using a purifier in a larger room. At that speed it’s fairly noisy, with sound levels reaching around 48dBA, but in general use the lowest setting will be fine, and this takes the noise levels down to 36.

Key specs – CADR: 226-238m³/h; Max room size: 48m²; Power settings: 5; Dimensions (HWD): 52 x 22 x 22cm; Weight: 4.

It’s really designed for small spaces of around 10m², but we found its performance better than the 80m³/h CADR might imply. A night mode can also help if you want a quiet setting and dimmer lights while you sleep, although we found this doesn’t always work as well as you’d hope.
