Everyone wants a cleaner indoor environment and to do that you need to get rid of unwanted dust, pollen, tobacco smoke, mold, allergens and chemicals from household paint that circulate throughout your home each day. The Bionaire air purifier eliminates up to 99.97% as small as 0.3 microns of common home contaminants from the air which means cleaner and fresher air to breathe each day within your household. Air purifiers work by removing odors and common airborne pollutants from the environment by drawing air through a filter system. Now just turning on your air purifier each day and letting it run month after month won’t do you or your home any good, you will need to give it proper maintenance by changing the filters every 1-2 months to keep the fresh air properly circulated.

Now you are thinking great, sign me up for a new air purifier, but which one is right for me? Well we have a handy list from the folks at Bionaire that displays the proper sized units that will work best for the exact location you are looking to place this new air purifier.

Now you might still be asking, what’s CADR? Quite simply it’s Clean Air Delivery Rate that is a certified measurement developed by the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM). CADR is the amount of clean air measured in cubic feet per minute that an air cleaner delivers to a room. It is tested on its ability to remove smoke, dust and pollen.
