How to choose
Compare maker coverage figures
Coverage is the figure that separates these picks: the maker lists 3,400 sq ft for the DAYETTE, 2,934 sq ft for the Nuwave and up to 2,240 sq ft in 1 hour for the AIRTOK. Measure your room first, then match it against the figure the maker gives for the unit you are considering. A figure from one maker does not transfer to another unit, so compare the stated figures side by side.
