While we don\u2019t use the word \u201chorsepower\u201d in terms of air purifiers, by fitting your room, you are really looking for air exchange power.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The main question: Is that cute viral air purifier powerful enough to clean the air in your bedroom or living room? And how does one figure that out? The first part is doing third-grade math. You will need a tape measure. I used a basic 25-foot measure that I bought at a hardware store years ago. With the help of one of my kids, I measured the length of the room and then the width, and then multiplied the length times the width to get the area or square footage.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall\">Step 2: The Height of Your Ceiling Matters<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Even though you&#8217;ve found the area of your room by doing the length-times-width formula, you\u2019re not done. And before we go any further, the height standard used in many air purifier calculations\u2014known as the clean air delivery rate, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/2018-07\/documents\/guide_to_air_cleaners_in_the_home_2nd_edition.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CADR<\/a>\u2014is an 8-foot-high ceiling. When you add height by multiplying the length times the width times the height, it will give you the room\u2019s volume or cubic square footage. Sometimes, depending on the model of air purifier, you\u2019ll need the cubic square footage; sometimes you will need only the square footage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Yes, figuring out the sizing of an air purifier in the US is confusing due to American measurement systems\u2014Nate Bargatze explains it well in this skit from <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@originalspodcast\/video\/7306247039283760414\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@originalspodcast\/video\/7306247039283760414&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@originalspodcast\/video\/7306247039283760414\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Saturday Night Live<\/em><\/a>. I digress. Getting back to your room: Rooms with high ceilings such as A-frames, cathedral ceilings, double height ceilings, and the like will have the added burden of figuring out the cubic square feet of their room, because this will mean you need either a bigger air purifier or two purifiers to clean the air.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall\">Step 3: It\u2019s All About the Numbers<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-eVDQiB byBkf asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-eJxoAx dBHGoQ asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-umhxW kGxnNB responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-cWuUZO dUOtEa AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A livingroom with an air purifier and measurements for time compared to the size of the room\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-eybHBd fptoWY responsive-image__image lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66a5c40004643c4cd93cfdb3\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/Airmega%2520IconS%2520info-SOURCE-Coway.png\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66a5c40004643c4cd93cfdb3\/master\/w_120,c_limit\/Airmega%20IconS%20info-SOURCE-Coway.png 120w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66a5c40004643c4cd93cfdb3\/master\/w_240,c_limit\/Airmega%20IconS%20info-SOURCE-Coway.png 240w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66a5c40004643c4cd93cfdb3\/master\/w_320,c_limit\/Airmega%20IconS%20info-SOURCE-Coway.png 320w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66a5c40004643c4cd93cfdb3\/master\/w_640,c_limit\/Airmega%20IconS%20info-SOURCE-Coway.png 640w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66a5c40004643c4cd93cfdb3\/master\/w_960,c_limit\/Airmega%20IconS%20info-SOURCE-Coway.png 960w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66a5c40004643c4cd93cfdb3\/master\/w_1280,c_limit\/Airmega%20IconS%20info-SOURCE-Coway.png 1280w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/66a5c40004643c4cd93cfdb3\/master\/w_1600,c_limit\/Airmega%20IconS%20info-SOURCE-Coway.png 1600w\" data-sizes=\"100vw\"\/><\/noscript><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptionCredit-ejegDm iUEiRd isTgyB fNaHcW caption__credit\">Photograph: Coway<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The most important room is the one you spend the most time in. For most people, that\u2019s the bedroom. Say you\u2019ve found your bedroom size and it\u2019s 200 square feet, and your ceiling height is around 8 feet. You find an air purifier with an advertised CADR of four air exchanges an hour for 200 square feet. That\u2019s not going to be strong enough. Why? Most air purifiers make the most noise at their highest setting, like 50 decibels or higher\u2014similar to a modern refrigerator. That means when you run that same air purifier at a lower setting, it won\u2019t efficiently clean the air in that 200-square-foot room.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You don\u2019t buy an air purifier in a vacuum, literally.
