Whirlpool is better known for their larger consumer appliances, like dishwashers, washing machines, and dryers. However, they have entered into the smaller consumer appliance market and they have entered with a bang. The air
purifier market is one that is fraught with a lot of misconceptions and miss-communications about exactly what approach do. Whirlpool has made it their mission to create a product that is so far ahead of the competition that there is almost no choice as to whether a consumer should purchase it or not.
The Whispure’s name is evidence of exactly what it does. It purifies air at a whisper quiet amount of noise. It is by far the air purifier with the largest amount of purifying volume that we have ever seen. If you have a 500 square-foot
room, this particular model will purify the air almost 5 times in a single hour! That is an absolutely incredible amount of purification going on, so just imagine what would happen if you put it in to your home. It is feasible that it
could purify an entire floor by itself! Most other models only purify up to 200 ft.2, and they do so at a much slower rate per hour. The Whispure is truly an air purifier that is built for people with large homes or venues .
As far as the technology behind the Whirlpool Whispure air purifier device, it does feature a three-part filtration system. That means that you’re going to get the standard prefilter, a carbon filter, and then finally the HEPA filter
that almost every air purifier has. Additionally, on the outside, the grill will be a prefilter in addition to the one that is already built inside the system. The biggest particles won’t even be able to get through this first filter, making it a very efficient locking mechanism for particularly big air particulates.
The HEPA filter is what we would call “true HEPA.” This means that it’s going to take out any particulate that is over 0.3 μ large. If you don’t have an idea of exactly how large that is, it’s smaller than the width of human hair. Other air purifiers in more of the budget range do not have this robust of a filtration system. Small particulates that are larger than 0.3 μ but still small enough to not be caught by the initial filter might sneak through these less expensive models. If you’re someone who cannot handle any type of air particulate all, we highly recommend purchasing the Whirlpool Whispure AP51030K.
