Description:
This compact Kenmore air purifier tackles common indoor odors and airborne particles so rooms feel fresher without extra noise. With H13 True HEPA filtration and a coverage of up to 850 sq. ft., this unit is suitable for an office or bedroom and helps reduce dust, pet dander, smoke and cooking smells while running nearly silently.
Key Points
The purifier runs quietly at about 25 dB on its lowest setting so it can operate overnight or during meetings without distraction. Energy Star certified, it consumes power comparable to a single lightbulb according to the manufacturer, which helps keep energy use low during continuous operation. The three-stage system includes a pre-filter for larger particles, an H13 True HEPA filter that captures 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns, and an activated carbon stage for odor reduction. Consider that the stated 850 sq. ft. coverage refers to one air change per hour, so placement and room layout will affect real-world performance.

For bedrooms, run the purifier on the lowest quiet setting overnight and increase fan speed during activities that raise particulate levels, such as cooking or pet grooming. Replace the filters according to the manufacturer’s schedule to maintain filtration efficiency, and note that heavy odor or smoke conditions may require more frequent filter changes.
