How to choose
Compare coverage by the maker
Coverage is the maker's own figure, so compare it with your room area. The POMORON is rated for up to 1,250 sq ft by the maker, the AROEVE is rated for up to 1,504 sq ft by the maker, and the 1,760 sq ft pick is rated for up to 1,760 sq ft by the maker. A larger maker figure does not change the filter type or the UV function, so check those separately.
