The dream portable air purifier for schools. Here's why:

  • Budget-friendly
  • Energy-efficient without sacrificing cleaning rates
  • Whisper quiet so teachers happily run CleanAirKits the entire school day while rapidly removing pathogens in the background

Let’s break it down further:

  • Budget-friendly

    • Around half the cost of the HEPA air purifiers most schools buy
    • Replacement filters (MERV13 virus-grade furnace filters) are also around half the cost
    • Independently tested by Intertek — and the only Corsi-Rosenthal boxes carrying UL507, FCC and CARB certifications
  • Energy-efficient

    • 8–14 watts compared to 60–120 watts of typical school purifiers — about 3p a day for the 5-Fan, 6p a day for the XL
    • ENERGY STAR certified: the Luggable XL delivers an IEF of 26.2 and is ranked #1 of 247 certified air purifiers
  • Quiet = it will actually be used

    • Would you want to teach (or try to listen to a teacher) while vacuuming at the same time?
    • Typical room purifiers have to be turned on the highest setting (“level 5,” “turbo”) to boost air changes per hour enough to prevent the spread of viruses
    • At the higher levels, the noise becomes so loud that teachers and students don’t want to compete with it when trying to talk, so the teacher almost always turns it to a lower level (and therefore lower Clean Air Delivery Rate). Often, a teacher will just turn it off entirely
  • One setting = user-friendly

    • No buttons; only a plug. A timer can be added to any CleanAirKits so the teacher never has to touch it. Not having to remember to turn an air purifier on every day means 100% compliance
    • It’s not fair or realistic to ask a teacher to remember to turn an air purifier on and off every day, and to remember which settings to use
    • Some schools have a maintenance worker or facility manager walk through the school in the morning and after hours to turn the purifiers on and off. That is a LOT time that could be spent on other work

STEM projects to empower students & teachers

Only CleanAirKits offer students and teachers a hands-on, community building option to clean classroom air. Our unassembled STEM Panel Kits are a fine introduction to air quality, electronics, and maker techniques for students from elementary through adult. (STEM Kits assemble the same way as our pre-assembled, factory certified units). Most find this new, constructive way to take charge of health & safety uniquely rewarding. Because panel kits ship in flat packs, cost conscious and international customers see substantial savings compared to pre-assembled units.
