Performance and room size
Blueair units are top performing when it comes to reducing indoor air pollution. The Blueair 600 Series
has the highest ratings in the industry for air purifiers. Blueair units are designed to be used in all types
of environments, from bedrooms to large open areas up to 65m
2
(698 sq.ft.).
Background
When choosing an air purifier, performance should be considered first. The major factors affecting
performance of an air cleaner are its efficiency and airflow. Another key consideration is the room
capacity of each unit.
Standards and certifications
Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) indicates how much filtered air is delivered by the air purifier and how
well the system removes pollutants (tobacco smoke, dust and pollen) from the air. CADR is spon-
sored by the Association of Home Appliances Manufacturers (AHAM), an independent organization
that ensures testing results are accurate and impartial. AHAM has also developed a validated way to
convert an air purifier’s performance into its room size coverage.
Tests are performed in accordance with the standard ANSI/AHAM AC-1-2006, the only air purifier
standard recognized as an American national standard. CADR is endorsed by both the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
