Two-sided filtration with a real carbon layer; filters cost more than most.

High CADR at a quiet 52 dB maximum; annual filter cost is among the highest here.

Airmega 400 with Wi-Fi app control.

The long-running benchmark: strong CADR for the price, a real auto mode and cheap annual filters.

Same internals as the Mighty in a square housing with a square filter.

Quiet for its CADR; the 930 sq ft claim is at 1 air change per hour, so treat it as a 370 sq ft unit for allergies.

Coway's bedroom unit with auto mode. CADR is derived from Coway's 222 sq ft claim at 5 air changes an hour; no AHAM listing was found.

Compact unit with auto mode and a washable prefilter; filters are pricey for the CADR.
