How to choose
Match coverage to your room
Coverage figures here come from each maker: 432 sq ft for the BLUEAIR in 30 minutes, 465 sq ft for the Honeywell at one air change an hour, and 250 sq ft for the Momcozy on max fan. Compare the figure against your room's floor area, and check the air changes behind it, since a figure at one air change an hour is not the same as one at 4.8.
Noise figures and fan speeds
The stated noise figures are 24 dB for the BLUEAIR on low speed and 21 dB for the Momcozy in sleep mode. The Honeywell offers 3 cleaning levels, and the Momcozy has 4 fan speeds with an auto mode that follows PM2.5 readings. If a low figure matters to you, weigh the stated decibel number against the number of speeds each unit gives.
Filters and upkeep
The BLUEAIR uses a washable pre-filter with an installed filter and a fabric pre-filter in the box, and the Honeywell uses a Dual Action Filter with a filter check and reset light. The Momcozy runs a 4-stage system with a prefilter, H13 HEPA and activated carbon. Check the replacement interval for your pick: the Honeywell lists replacement every 4 months.
