Whirlpool Whispure Air Purifiers for the Home Office

In many residences, the home office has replaced the kitchen as the nerve center of the home. The home office is often where all the organizing of the family as well as the operation of the home-based business is done and is often awash in paper and “stuff”. Air purifiers are particularly important in a home office not only because of the paper dust, but because of the pollution emanating from the various office machines. The Whirlpool Whispure is particularly suited for a home office for a variety of reasons.

Home offices are typically placed in less important, thus smaller, rooms in the home. Air purifiers used in a home office need to be designed to purify the air but stay out of the way. The Whirlpool Whispure accomplishes this feat through a design which brings the dirty air into the unit through the front and exhausts the clean air out the top, allowing it to be placed flat against a wall.

The key aspect of the Whirlpool Whispure regarding health and the home office, is that it is one of the category of “true” HEPA air purifiers which remove 99.97% of airborne dust and particles as small as 0.3 microns. Most home offices have at least one computer printer and many have both laser and inkjet printers, as well as copiers. These products are referred to as high particle emitters because they emit ultrafine particles which can cause cardiovascular problems. Studies in the past year have proven the importance of using air purifiers in the home office to capture these ultrafine particles released from toner used in the machines. The Whirlpool Whispure placed close to the printers will help prevent those particles from finding their way into the lungs, as well as capturing the paper dust that floats around in the home office. If you have to spend a lot of time in a home office, you might as well keep it as particle free as possible.

Although the operating sound that air purifiers make may not be as much of a concern in a home office, as it is in a bedroom for example, it is helpful if the sound is as quiet as possible without diminishing the effectiveness of the air purifier. The Whirlpool Whispure was designed with quiet in mind and is very quiet on the low speed, but even on the highest of the three speeds, it is not obtrusively loud. The sound just becomes background noise like the sound of other office machines in the home office.

Ease of use is an important feature in air purifiers for the home office. The Whirlpool Whispure weighs only 17 pounds and has built-in carrying handles so it can be easily and quickly moved out of the way if necessary. No notes or memory are required regarding filter changes as the unit includes filter change indicator lights. Changing filters is quick and easy. For the home office where removing particulate is important for the family’s health, and affordability is welcomed, the Whispure is a good choice.
