Our verdict · Researched
3.9 / 5

A well-built small-room purifier with a genuinely sealed filter housing (rubber gasket, so air can't bypass the filter), but its own '78' room-size figure is a cubic-metre air-change spec, not a floor-area figure — treat it as suited to roughly a 32 m² room, not 78 m². Stock has been patchy at its main official retailer, so check availability before you commit.

A smaller room where filter-seal quality matters more than headline room-size numbers

Researched, not used. We haven't used this product. This review is built from the maker's specifications, owner reports and our own sizing.

What we like

  • Rubber gasket seal ensures air actually passes through the filter rather than bypassing it
  • Substantial carbon filter (around 130g) for odour control
  • Competitively priced against similarly small-room-rated rivals

Worth knowing

  • Its published '78' room-size figure is cubic metres, not floor area — real usable coverage is closer to 32 m²
  • No published CADR figure, so airflow speed can't be compared against rivals
  • Flagged as out of stock at its main official UK retailer at time of writing — check live availability first

ⓘ As an Amazon Associate, PreparedBritain earns from qualifying purchases. We may earn a commission when you buy, or a fee when you request a quote, through our links. When two products are close, commission can decide which one we pick. A clearly better product always wins. Amazon prices come from Amazon's own product data and show the date and time they were retrieved. Prices at other retailers are checked by us, less often. Prices and stock can change at any time, so always check the retailer's price before you buy.

Who shouldn't buy this

Don't buy it if you're comparing purely on the headline room-size number without reading the small print — it's a smaller-room unit than the figure implies.

How this review works

This is a Researched review: we haven't used this product. We check every specification against at least two independent sources, re-check the UK price on a schedule where we can track it automatically, and say plainly who it isn't for. Commissions never change a rating.
