Is it for you
Buy it if
- A bedroom or a nursery where night-time noise decides everything
- You want scheduling and a sleep mode from an app
- Cheap replacement filters matter over years of ownership
Skip it if
- A large or open-plan room — this will run flat out and lose
- You expect the plastics to survive being knocked around
On its lowest setting this is the quietest machine on the list, which is the entire reason it lives next to so many beds. The sleep mode kills the display too, so nothing glows at three in the morning.
It is a small-room unit and the specification says so. Put it in a living room and it will run at a speed that is no longer quiet, which defeats the purchase.
