Detailed Test Results

Impressive at removing dust, smoke, and pollen from a room’s air when run at its highest speed, but less effective at low speed. This model is relatively loud on low speed and was very noisy even for an air purifier running at its highest speed. Easy to operate its controls, carry it, and clean or replace its filter(s).

About

Overall score for the 3M Filtrete Elite FAP-T03-A2 (Lowes) is mainly how well the model removed dust and smoke from a test chamber, plus quietness for room purifiers and airflow resistance for whole-house units.
Dust/pollen/smoke removal: How well models cleared air of fine clay dust and cigarette smoke; performance of portables is at their highest and lowest speeds. Ones that scored well for dust removal should perform comparably for pollen.
Noise: Based on instrument measurements with a portable model running at its highest and lowest speeds.
