You'll have much cleaner air with this air purifier. Let's check it out
Dave Taylor here and I'm checking out this. This is the WBM Smart HEPA air purifier. It's pretty
nice. One of the things I really like about it is it's really quiet. In its quietest mode it's 25
decibels, which means you're probably not going to be able to hear it even if you're in a quiet
house. But if you're in a house where there's noise at night you're not going to hear anything
It's going to just chug along doing its own thing. Now it has a whole indicator system on the top
Here's a close-up for you. But the most important button is on and off. So let's turn this on and
as with many of these devices it turns on and immediately goes to the highest motor or highest
fan setting and then it drops back down. So this defaults to sleep mode and I have my custom air
circulation test device. So let's see what this looks like. So here you can get a sense of
this is the lowest mode and this is the quietest mode. So this is sleep mode
It's pretty darn quiet. And then I can tap the speed button and that gets me a little faster
Air is moving a little bit faster. But then you get to the highest mode
and this thing's pushing out some air as you can see here with my visual indicator, right
So let's talk about this. Right now at its maximum setting it has what's known as a CADR of 68 meters
an hour. And what that means is it's a clean air delivery rate. And I actually prefer cubic feet
per minute CFM and it's 40 CFM. What this means is that this has plenty of power to pull through
and filter air from even a very large room or you know a house with multiple rooms. But if you have
an office, if you have a home office, if you have a dorm room, this is perfect. It's a good size and
it just chugs along. Now one of the other things on the top is it has a filter replacement indicator
and I have a spare filter. We'll talk about that in just a second. But you should have to replace
the filter probably every six to eight months. And my personal experience with these is if you
actually give it some maintenance more frequently, like using your vacuum, you can vacuum your filter
and that'll help it actually last longer. But every so often you definitely want to replace it
And I'll talk about the price of replacement filters too in just a minute. Now the other thing
on the top is there's an LED and let me just show you here. So that gives you a nightlight
or a bright nightlight or what I like you can turn it off. Now for people that are really
light phobic at night, note that you cannot turn off the power and the speed lights but they're
very faint. So I would guess that in a completely pitch dark room because of this angle you wouldn't
even see it. But if you had it on the floor and you were laying right next to it looking down
you might see a little blue glow. I know some people really want their rooms to be completely
dark. All right the other button you have there is a lock button. If you don't want little hands
changing settings you can do that. So three speed settings, LED nightlight you can turn into
dim or bright or off completely and this will remove 99% of airborne particulates and bacteria
So that's pretty nice and the way it works is it's a three stage filter. So there is the, let me just
catch my notes here, I guess I didn't write that. So there actually there's a pre-filter
there's the actual HEPA filter and there's an activated carbon filter. So you know the air just
sort of goes through here and comes out here and all the particulate matter is caught in the filter
So you're thinking where is that filter? Well let's flip it upside down and have a look
So one of the things that's always really challenging with these is where is stuff right
Where is everything hidden? And it turns out the bottom actually unscrews, let me get it in the right
direction, well maybe it goes this way, no one of these ways, there we go. It unscrews and it takes
obviously a little bit of force and then you lift it off and then here's our filter. So this filter
will last six to eight months, possibly a year. All you have to do is put it in there, put the
cap on it, let's see we just need to get it in the right position and then turn it till it clicks
and we're ready to go. That's all it takes, easy enough. It does require being plugged in, you can
see it has a reasonably long cord, it's not a super long cord but I think that'll work fine for you
That's certainly enough if you get an extension cord as I have. And so then the filters, now
actually let me give you the dimensions first. So this is 12.8 inches tall and it is 7.2 inches
across, obviously it's circular so that's the same in any direction, you know how circles work right
And it's five pounds so it's pretty light, it's not super light but I'm pretty sure that even
grandma could pick it up and move it around if grandma needs to put it into a different room
And these replacement air filters, this is the AR04F in case you need to know that
are 39 bucks a unit on amazon.com so it's not a bad price to pay 40 bucks approximately a year
to have really good clean air, especially nowadays you want to just get your air as clean as possible
so that your lungs have to do the least amount of work, that's just good thinking right? So how much
does this cost? Well hang on before we get there I'm going to ask if you could subscribe to my
channel, I really appreciate when you subscribe, it's just a click or a tap on that little red
button on the lower right and we're connected. Great, all right this is the WBM Smart HEPA
air purifier and it's $81.35 but when I looked on Amazon it's down to $65.99 which is a pretty
sweet deal and here's what's funny is it's $65.99 for the white version but if you want the black
version of this beautiful air purifier that's $99.99 so is it worth 34 bucks for you to get
the other color? That's up to you, me I don't really care I'm going to put this behind my bed
and let it clean the air in my bedroom because I don't want any garbage in my air and there's
particulate matter everywhere so make your indoor air healthier and cleaner than your outdoor air
with something like this. There are lots of air purifiers out there, get one it'll make you feel
better, it's better if you have allergies, it's better if you like are reacting to dander or
something, all of that's a win with one of these. So check it out, I'm going to turn it back on
let's get it back to top speed, let's get that LED on bright, isn't that cheery, look at that bright
color and with that I'm going to breathe that fresh air, breathe that fresh air and catch you in my next video
