Who it's for

The standout number
Smoke CADR of 89 — the number that decides how fast it clears wildfire smoke and fine particles.
The catch
It filters particles well, but with little or no carbon it does less for odors, smoke smell and gases.

Frequently asked questions
How big a room does the Germguardian AC4300WPT cover?
AHAM suggests it for a room up to 138 square feet. That rating assumes it runs on high and cleans the air about 4.8 times an hour. For faster cleaning — say for wildfire smoke or allergies — size it to a smaller room than the maximum.
What is the CADR of the Germguardian AC4300WPT?
Its AHAM Clean Air Delivery Rate is 100 for dust, 89 for smoke and 106 for pollen, with a PM2.5 CADR of 94. CADR is cubic feet of clean air delivered per minute — higher clears a room faster.
Does the Germguardian AC4300WPT use a real HEPA filter?
Its filter is listed as True HEPA (H13). True HEPA captures 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns.
How much power does the Germguardian AC4300WPT use?
About 49.3 watts on its smoke-clearing setting, which works out to 1.8 CADR per watt — a measure of how much clean air you get for the electricity it draws. It is not ENERGY STAR certified.
Where can I buy the Germguardian AC4300WPT?
It's a retail unit — we matched its Amazon listing, linked on this page, so you can check the current price and seller. The replacement filters are the recurring cost — check those before you commit to a brand.
Sources. Clean Air Delivery Rate (dust / smoke / pollen), PM2.5 CADR, suggested room size, ENERGY STAR status and power draw come from the AHAM Verifide air-cleaner directory (the industry's independent CADR test). Average CADR, clean-air-per-watt and the percentile figures are computed by Verified HVAC Data from those published ratings. We publish no star ratings and take no payment for placement. "Not published" means AHAM's record doesn't disclose it — we never fill a spec with a guess.
