This is a good multi-purpose, compact air purifier for a single room approximately 186 sq. ft. During our testing it significantly reduced the particles in the air and its fan is quiet enough on low to use in a bedroom use while sleeping. It is very simple to use with a manual knob fan control and push button uv light option.
