Whirlpool Whispure Air Purifiers for Allergy and Pollution Solutions
In the quest for a home with comprehensively clean air, putting air purifiers in every room can get expensive. Although ClearFlite recommends a high quality HEPA air Whirlpool Air Purifierspurifier such as those offered by Blueair, IQAir, AllerAir and Austin Air for the main living area and the bedroom of the suffering allergenic or asthmatic, less important rooms can be cleaned with a lower cost unit. The Whirlpool Whispure is the perfect compliment to the more comprehensive HEPA air cleaners mentioned. Although its capacity for removing odors is limited due to the small amount of charcoal in the prefilter, the Whirlpool Whispure is one of the true-HEPA air purifiers capturing 99.97% of airborne dust, pollen, mold, dander and other allergens.
With the ability to clean up to 235 square feet, the Whirlpool Whispure is ideal for a small room such as a bedroom or an office. It is designed to fit unobtrusively in a small room, even against a wall, because the front of the unit serves as the air intake while the top of the unit provides the outflow of clean air. It is especially important for air purifiers used in small rooms to operate quietly, and the Whispure lives up to its name.
In a normal home environment without tobacco smoke or a lot of pets, the HEPA filter in the Whirlpool Whispure will typically last a year. Filter change lights indicate when it is time to change the charcoal prefilter and the HEPA filter, an unusual benefit for one of the lower cost air purifiers on the market. The charcoal prefilter should be changed about every three months. It will eliminate lighter odors, although for cleaning the air of formaldehyde and other chemicals causing more severe problems, ClearFlite recommends one of the air purifiers designed for multiple chemical sensitivity. The Whirlpool Whispure is lightweight, weighing only 17 pounds, so it can be easily picked up and moved from room to room. Designed and manufactured by Whirlpool, a respected name in American industry, the Whirlpool Whispure lives up to the standards ClearFlite requires in its line of lower cost air purifiers.
Who needs a Whirlpool Whispure:
This model falls into the “light” category of air purifiers, but it is ideal as a supplemental unit for rooms not covered by one of our heavy-duty air purifiers. It is also ideal for a person who just wants cleaner air in the home or office but does not have serious allergy, asthma, or chemical sensitivity problems.
How the Whirlpool Whispure works:
The fan-driven system pulls air in through the front of the unit through a charcoal prefilter and a HEPA filter and exhausts the clean air out the top. Filter indicator lights tell you when each of the filters need to be changed.
