No CADR values (clean air delivery rate)
Cadr values tell you how fast the air purifier can clean a given space of certain particles
Not AHAM verified - independent 3rd party verification that the system does what it claims
The 1800 sq ft claim would be 1 air change per hour, you want to have close to 5. At 5 air changes per hour it would be good for 360 sq ft at the most. However it is physically too small to have that capacity.
The company also claims that the main filter is good for 2 years which is b.s.You would be changing the main filter every 6 months to 1 year.
Lack of reviews
Listed by SD staff as a "deal"
Brands that are actually good: Winix, Coway, BlueAir

I'm going to push back on this: It is certified by CA ARB. Model number is AP-12 Pro. Comes right up when you search on ARB's website:https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/list-carb-...ng-devices
Yes, it may not be great for a larger area. But air purifiers are simple. Blow air over a filter. Don't get hung up on brands if money is tight. Get multiple purifiers and make bubbles of cleaner air in your home if you're affected by wildfire smoke. You don't need to pay more or always have best. These cheap ones work adequately for what they are. Know the limitations. Value for money is a different question. I also want to push back on "change filter after x date" - that depends on how much you're loading on the filter. Time and date are used as rules of thumb. If you don't run it nonstop, it doesn't expire and magically need changing after a certain time. Similarly, if you're dealing with way more particulate, it may need changing sooner.
