CleanAirKits Triple Exhalaron Review
by CleanAirKits
$389.00
Estimated Annual Filter Cost: ~$50-$100/year
Summary
The CleanAirKits Triple Exhalaron is a quiet, low-power bedside purifier built around PC pressure fans and H11 cylinder filters. It delivers a real ~120 CFM in a compact package—enough for ~180 ft² at 5 ACH, ideal for bedrooms, side tables, or conference-table “source capture.” It’s spartan (no app/AQI) and not a gas/odor solution, and the media is H11. If you want a simple, quiet particle cleaner for a small room with very low energy use (~7 W), it’s a neat niche fit.
Here's what this purifier does best
- Quiet for the output: ~35 dB while moving ~120 CFM—easy to live with on a nightstand or desk.
- Legit small-room coverage: Verified 5-ACH figure of ~180 ft² lines up with the listed CADR; great for bedrooms.
- Low running cost & power: ~7 W draw and $51 for a 3-pack of filters; simple DIY swaps.
- Ozone-safe + safety marks: Maker states CARB no-ozone, with UL507 + FCC compliance.
Consider these trade-offs
- No AHAM/ENERGY STAR CADR: 120 CFM is a maker estimate (though consistent with third-party roundups). Cross-brand comparisons are harder.
- Not HEPA H13 / no health tag: Filters are H11 (~85% @ 0.3 µm); below our health threshold (H13+) and no microbial testing published.
- No odor/VOC media: No pelletized carbon—fine for particles, not for wildfire smell or VOCs.
- Spec inconsistency (H10 vs H11 mentions): The page text references H10 in one section and H11 in the spec block; we sized off the H11 spec and CADR line.
