Choosing a Personal Air Purifier Format
Desktop, portable and vehicle units solve different problems, and mixing them up is the most common range planning mistake.
Personal, not whole-room
A personal purifier treats a breathing zone - the volume of air around one person at a desk, in a seat or in a car - rather than a whole room. Quoting it against a room-sized CADR figure sets an expectation the product was never designed to meet.
Noise decides whether it gets used
A personal unit sits close to the user. A unit loud enough to interrupt a conversation or a night's sleep is switched off and never switched on again, which is where the category's repeat-purchase problem comes from.
The vehicle unit is a thermal problem
A parked car reaches temperatures no desk product is designed for. A vehicle purifier has to survive that cycle repeatedly. This is the single most common failure point in car purifier programmes sourced without automotive experience.
Run the three formats as one family
Desktop, portable and vehicle bought from three suppliers do not look like a range. Built on one visual language and one control approach, they read as a considered family and each one sells the other two.
