MERV : Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) is a standard that rates the overall effectiveness of air filters, specifically large purifiers intended to clean an entire house or building. Higher-value MERV rating equates to finer filtration, meaning fewer dust particles and other airborne contaminants can pass through the filter.

CADR: The clean air delivery rate tells you the volume of filtered air that the device can blow out. This is critical because a higher CADR number is what you are looking for.

ACH: This stands for air changes per hour. Each purifier comes with a room size rating. What is important is how quickly the purifier can change all of the air in that given space per hour. ACH rating of six to eight is a must.

CFM: The cubic feet per minute measures how many cubic feet of air move through the unit per minute. You need a higher CFM.
