Whirlpool Whispure 45030R

October 2007. Reviewers agree that the Whirlpool Whispure 450 is a good air purifier for its price range. The Whispure 450 finished near the top in one major comparative test, with above-average scores for dust and smoke removal at the high speed setting, and Air-Purifier-Power.com says it "provides a lot of plain vanilla HEPA air purifier for a low price." However, AllergyBuyersClub.com says this isn't the best choice for people with multiple chemical sensitivities, and its replacement filters can be expensive -- about $100 per year. This purifier works best in rooms of about 400 square feet (and preferably much smaller). For more recent reviews, please see our latest update on air purifiers.

The Whirlpool Whispure 450 (which is also sold as the Whirlpool AP45030R) is reviewed by three solid sources, including Consumer Reports, which tests the Whispure alongside 35 other air purifiers in its most recent roundup. Air-Purifier-Power.com doesn't actually test this air purifier but does a good job detailing its pluses and minuses. Unfortunately, this Whispure air purifier has yet to attract a significant amount of owner attention at sites such as Amazon.com or Epinions.
