AP30, AP40, AP60, AP80 or AP140? How to choose an Ideal Air

Ideal Air states two room sizes for each purifier. The ideal room size is based on four air exchanges per hour, which Ideal Air considers suitable for most homes. The maximum coverage is based on two air exchanges per hour. The AP30 is rated for 300 sq. ft. ideal and 600 sq. ft. maximum, the AP40 for 400 and 800, the AP60 for 600 and 1,200, and the AP80 for 800 and 1,600. The AP140 covers up to 2,800 sq. ft.

The AP30 and AP40 weigh 8 lbs and have a WiFi connection and a free app. The AP60 and AP80 weigh about 40 lbs and come with a remote control. All models have an automatic mode that reads air quality sensors, plus a turbo mode and a night mode.
