What Makes Whirlpool Air Purifiers Different From Other Brands?
Whirlpool Whispure air purifiers are among our top-selling models and for good reason. These compact air purifiers offer exceptional air filtration at a reasonable price point. Priced from $199 to $299, these air purifiers are an ideal air treatment solution for homes of allergy- and asthma-sufferers. They are also a great solution for controlling issues with chemical or gaseous odors.
To guarantee your satisfaction, Whirlpool offers a 5-year-limited warranty on their products.
How Much Does It Cost Annually to Operate a Whirlpool Air Purifier?
Whirlpool air cleaners are budget-friendly, especially in terms of operation. Whirlpool was one of the first manufacturers to offer Energy Star-rated air purifiers. The Whirlpool Whispure 510, the Whirlpool Whispure 450, and the Whirlpool Whispure 250 are all Energy Star-rated, which means that they are certified to operate 40 percent more efficiently than standard air cleaners. For example, when operated continuously and alternating between high and low speeds, the Whispure 510 costs about $91 annually in energy expenses. When compared to standard air cleaners, the Energy Star-rated Whirlpool Whispure 510 can help users save up to $35 each year on their electric bill.
How Much Maintenance is Required for Whirlpool Air Purifiers?
Whirlpool air purifiers are a cinch to maintain. Unlike many air purifiers that seem to require you to disassemble the entire unit just to access the filtration system, Whirlpool air purifiers require you only to pop open the
front of the air purifier to access the carbon pre-filter and HEPA filter. Whirlpool recommends changing the carbon pre-filter once every three months and the HEPA filter once a year. On average, Whirlpool owners can expect to spend approximately $150 annually on filter replacement–significantly less than filter replacements for other HEPA air purifiers.
How Loud Are Whirlpool Whispure Air Purifiers?
One of the hallmark features of Whispure air purifiers is their low operating noise. For example, on the lowest fan setting, each Whirlpool Whispure air purifier emits sound around 40 decibels (dB) or less, which is only as loud as the buzz of a mosquito or soft ambient noise. Although using the highest fan setting produces more noise, Whirlpool Whispure air purifiers will never be louder than normal conversation.
To support their quiet operation claims, all Whirlpool Whispure air purifiers come with a Quiet 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee if you are not satisfied that your Whirlpool air purifier is quieter than your previously owned high-efficiency air purifier.
Which Whirlpool Whispure Model is Best for My Space?
Regardless of model or size, each Whirlpool Whispure air purifier is equipped with an excellent three-stage air filtration system. This filtration system includes a carbon pre-filter for removal of household odors and gases, as well as a HEPA filter to remove up to 99.97% of particles sized up to 0.3 microns and larger, such as pollen, pet dander, dust mites, dust particles, ragweed, mold spores, and more.
The best method for choosing your Whirlpool Whispure air purifier is to determine how much space you need to cleanse. Below are our recommendations:
- Whirlpool Whispure 250 Air Purifier: Rated to clean air in areas up to 250 square feet, this air purifier is perfect for smaller areas, such as home offices, nurseries, and bedrooms.
As a general rule of thumb, when choosing an air purifier, look for a model that is rated to clean a space that is slightly larger than the area you plan to purify in your home or office. This ensures that you get the best value and performance from the air purifier that you choose.
Where Should I Place My Whirlpool Air Purifier?
A unique Whirlpool Whispure air purifier feature is a top-mounted air return vent. Whereas many air purifiers feature the air return vent on the back or sides of the unit and need to be placed in a central location in your room to filter your air evenly, the Whirlpool Whispure can be placed anywhere–even discreetly against a wall. This means you can position the air cleaner out of main traffic areas while still delivering a constant flow of clean air throughout your indoor environment.
