Buying Tips
Always buy rated for 20% more square footage than your actual space — real-world conditions are never ideal.
Read the installation section of the manual before buying. Some 'easy install' products require professional help or drilling.
Calculate annual electricity + maintenance. A $50/year filter cost adds up fast. Check for compatible generic filters before buying.
Check warranty length and brand support track record. Warranty is the manufacturer's bet on their own product quality.
Many home products require additional hardware (adapters, mounting screws, hoses). Verify the complete parts list before purchase.
Climate, water hardness, and home construction affect performance. Read reviews from users in similar conditions to yours.
