Room air purifiers - sometimes referred to as "room air cleaners" - are portable, electric appliances that remove fine particles, such as dust and pollen, from indoor air. A standard room air purifier, operating continuously, uses approximately 550 kWh per year in electricity. This is more than the energy used by some new refrigerators!
ENERGY STAR® certified room air purifiers are 40% more energy efficient than standard models, saving consumers about 225 kWh/year and $30 annually on utility bills.
