- Understanding the air quality in your home can feel confusing and overwhelming, but the Bacron BW100 Mini Sterilize Air Purifier makes it easy to understand. The lightweight model works in rooms up to 990 square feet, and it uses three different filters to remove dust, bacteria, pollen, smoke, and more from your home.
- It was extremely effective against particles, VOCs (harmful gasses), and smoke in the air when running on both its low and high settings. When running for just 10 minutes at a time, we found that the Bacron BW100 Mini Sterilize Air Purifier not only detected poor air quality levels but also made the air even cleaner than it had been prior to the test.
- The air purifier is super user-friendly, as it only has an on/off switch—no fancy features. We didn't find it necessary to consult the manual before operating, given how straightforward it was to set up.
- The HEPA filter allows it to capture particles in size with 99.9% accuracy, including dander, dust, airborne contaminants, and more.
- We found that it easily reduced PM 2.5 levels in our test environment from a hazardous level to clean breathing air on both its lowest and highest settings, though we detected a more noticeable change in the air quality on high.
- Air purifiers are a great solution to help improve the quality of the indoor air you breathe on a daily basis, but they aren't all equal when it comes to capturing pollutants. When we tested air purifiers in our lab, we exposed them to smoke, dander, and pet hair, then checked the air quality over time to see how well each device captured and removed these pollutants from the space.
What to Know About Air Purifiers Before Shopping
Room Size
One of the most important factors to consider when shopping for the best air purifiers is the size of the room you intend to place it in. The larger the room, the more powerful your purifier will need to be in order to effectively cycle through all the air and remove particles.
According to the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers, an air purifier's efficiency rating (clean air delivery rate, also known as CADR) should be equal to two-thirds of your room's area. This means that a room with 120 square feet should have a CADR rating of at least 80 to work effectively.
You may also want to consider purchasing an air quality monitor in addition to an air purifier so you can make sure your air purifier isn't working too much or too little in your space.
Features and Capabilities
You'll also want to find an air purifier that has a variety of settings and an adequate number of features to help you understand and improve your room's air quality. When we tested air purifiers in our lab, we tried out every feature the devices offered to determine how well they worked and if they were actually valuable.
Device Dimensions
Depending on the size of the room and how much space you have, you will likely also need to consider the air purifier's dimensions when picking out an air purifier. The larger the room, the more space the air purifier will probably take up, so be sure to look at the size of the device you're considering to make sure you have space for it.
