How to choose
Match the maker rating to the room
Start with the coverage each maker gives, not with the room you hope to fill. The YARIKI and the Clorox are rated for up to 1,500 sq ft by the maker, the GermGuardian for 1,760 sq ft, the Coway for 1,860 sq ft and the HEARBOBO for 3,000 sq ft. Measure the room first, then pick a rating at or above that figure.
What CADR and noise mean
CADR measures how much air a purifier moves through its filters, and a higher figure suits a larger room. Only the YARIKI gives a CADR here, at 280 CFM. Noise is given in decibels: the HEARBOBO gives 20 dB in sleep mode, the YARIKI and the Coway give 22 dB, the Clorox gives 30 dB and the GermGuardian gives 53 dB. Compare those figures against the room where the unit will run.
Timers, speeds and upkeep
A timer lets the unit switch off after a set stretch, and the GermGuardian gives an 8-hour auto-off timer while the HEARBOBO gives 2H, 4H, 6H and 8H settings. Speed settings change airflow: the GermGuardian gives 3 speeds and the HEARBOBO gives Low, Medium and High. Washable pre-filters, on the YARIKI, the Coway and the HEARBOBO, rinse clean, while HEPA filters need replacement on the maker's schedule.
