Clean Air Delivery Rate

• From air cleaner to air cleaner, compare the CADR numbers. First, look at the suggested room size. Then refer to the Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) numbers. The higher the number, the faster the unit filters the air.
• AC5300 air cleaner is suggested for use in a single, closed room up to 169 square feet.
• AC5350 air cleaner is suggested for use in a single, closed room up to 171 square feet. Higher CADR rates provide improved performance in all room sizes. Portable air cleaners will be much more effective in rooms when all the doors and windows are closed.
• TOBACCO SMOKE: AC5300 = 109+ AC5350 = 110+
• This value represents performance that can be expected within the first 72 hours of operation. Subsequent use may vary with use. Tested per ANSI/AHAM AC-1 National Standard

What is CADR?

• CADR stands for “Clean Air Delivery Rate,” which indicates the volume of filtered air delivered by an air purifier. CADR ratings show the effectiveness of how efficient the air purifier is at capturing fine particulates from things like tobacco smoke and plant pollens from the room.
  • NOTE: Do NOT stick any foreign objects or your fingers inside of the unit.
