Which Clean Air Kit is right for me?

- Luggable 5-Fan — £279: clears rooms up to 35 m² (≈375 sq ft) — bedrooms, offices and smaller living rooms.
- Luggable XL 7-Fan — from £299: our highest output, for large living rooms, open-plan spaces, offices & classrooms up to 50 m² (≈540 sq ft).
Both include genuine 3M MERV-13 filters and accept optional spare filters, Speed Control and a WiFi Plug. Finishes: XL in Blanc, Obsidian or Cherry tree; 5-Fan in Blanc or Obsidian.
What makes the Luggable air purifier different?
Luggables use PC fan technology with 3M MERV-13 filters, delivering hospital-grade air purification at whisper-quiet 35dB. Unlike traditional HEPA purifiers costing £50–100/year in filters, Luggable replacement filters cost around £58 per pair — and last 6–12 months.
How often do I need to replace filters?
Every 6–12 months depending on usage and air quality. If you have pets or allergies, aim for every 4–6 months. We recommend the 3M Filtrete MPR 1900–2200 series — available in our store.
How quiet are Luggables?
Our PC fan-based Luggables run at just 35dB on maximum — quieter than a library. They are 5–10x quieter than traditional HEPA purifiers at full speed, making them ideal for running 24/7 in bedrooms.

Technical Questions
What is CADR?
CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) measures how much filtered air a purifier delivers per hour. Higher = cleaner air, faster.
Our 5-Fan models achieve 359 m³/h (rooms up to 35 m² / ≈375 sq ft). Our 7-Fan XL models achieve 622 m³/h PM2.5 CADR (rooms up to 50 m² / ≈540 sq ft) — independently tested by Intertek.
What is ACH?
ACH (Air Changes per Hour) measures how many times the full volume of room air passes through the filter per hour. The CDC recommends 5+ ACH for optimal indoor air quality. The Luggable Ultra XL 7-Fan delivers 5+ ACH in rooms up to 50 m² (≈540 sq ft).
What makes PC fans better than traditional HEPA purifiers?
PC fans use just 6–16W (like an LED bulb) versus 50–150W for most HEPA units. They run quieter, last longer, and deliver comparable CADR at a fraction of the running cost. Our MERV-13 filters remove 93% of particles — comparable to HEPA — at lower energy use.
Do your purifiers help with hay fever or asthma?
Yes. MERV-13 filtration captures 93%+ of pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and fine particles (PM2.5) that trigger hay fever and asthma. Many customers report noticeable improvement within days — especially when running a unit in the bedroom overnight.
Are your purifiers safe for pets?
Absolutely. Our purifiers use purely mechanical filtration — no ozone, UV, or ionisers. They are safe for all pets including birds, which are particularly sensitive to airborne chemicals.
