This hepa air purifier is AHAM (Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers) Verifide meaning that it has been independently tested to ensure its efficiency in reducing smoke, dust and pollen in the suggested room size. The AHAM assigns a CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) Rating that measures the volume of filtered air delivered by an air cleaner. The Honeywell HPA5100 InSight™ HEPA Air Purifier received the following CADR Rating:
- 4.8 Air changes per hour in a 190 sq. ft. room
- Tobacco Smoke: 114
- Dust: 140
- Pollen: 140
- From the air that passes through the filter, 0.3 microns and larger.
- Based on 3rd party independent CADR testing for the smoke CADR value when operated at the highest level. Air circulation depends on many factors, such as room size and configuration. There is no guarantee that all of the air in a room will pass through the filter.
