Key specifications

CADR: 233 CFM
Rated coverage: 361 sq ft
Filtration: 4-stage: washable pre-filter, carbon, H13 True HEPA, toggleable ionizer
Pre-filter: Permanent and washable — not a recurring cost
Efficiency: ENERGY STAR certified

Our verdict

The one to buy if you want the running cost as low as it goes. Its permanent washable pre-filter takes an entire consumable off the bill — Consumer Reports notes that carbon pre-filters alone can cost up to $50 every three months on other machines — and it is the cheapest unit here to begin with. The trade is coverage and smart features: at 233 CADR it is a bedroom machine, not a living-room-and-kitchen machine.

Strengths and limitations

Pros

The washable permanent pre-filter removes a consumable that costs up to $50 a time on rival machines
The cheapest machine here and the longest-proven — it has been on sale for over a decade
The ionizer can be switched off, which matters because ozone-producing modes are not recommended
