Air Purifier Buying Guide for Winnipeg Homes

Multiply your room’s length by its width. Health Canada recommends a smoke CADR of at least two-thirds of that area. A 120 sq ft bedroom needs a smoke CADR of 80 or more, and a 350 sq ft living room needs 234 or more.

Levoit Core 300S-P: best overall for bedrooms. Levoit Core Mini-P: best for small rooms. Levoit Vital 100S-P: best for pet homes. Winix 5510: best value, with a carbon layer for smoke and cooking odours. Levoit Core 600S-P: best for open main floors. Shark BreatheClear MAX: lowest upkeep, with a NeverChange HEPA filter.

Health Canada lists a portable air purifier that filters fine particles as one way to protect indoor air from wildfire smoke. Choose the highest smoke CADR your budget allows, keep windows and doors closed, and run it in the room where you spend the most time.

“True HEPA” is mostly a marketing term. Compare the AHAM-verified CADR and the suggested room size on the label instead.

Follow the manufacturer’s schedule and the filter indicator on the unit. The Shark BreatheClear MAX uses a NeverChange HEPA filter. Dry winter air too? See our humidifier picks for Winnipeg winters.
