The size of the room and the CADR (clean air delivery rate) of the air purifier.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s vital to analyze these two aspects together, considering many brands overstate the cleaning performance of their units. It\u2019s not necessarily unfunded, but there\u2019s a catch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/ahamverifide.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/White-Paper-Portable-Air-Cleaners-and-AIr-Changes-per-Hour-FINAL-00106301.pdf\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">EPA<\/a>, for an air purifier to be truly effective, it should be able to perform 4.8 air changes per hour (or ACH) in a room. Unfortunately, some brands will advertise the room size coverage to achieve just one ACH, being able to claim a somewhat opaque wider coverage.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rule is simple:<strong> a higher CADR (stated in CFM, or cubic feet per meter) means greater cleaning power. <\/strong>Instead of focusing on room sizes recommended by the manufacturer, look at the CADR rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to go about it is to figure out how powerful an air purifier needs to be for your space\u2019s specific dimensions.

The most comprehensive systems feature three stages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A <strong>pre-filter<\/strong> to trap larger particles that would otherwise clog the main filter faster. The best units feature a removable pre-filter, making it easier to vacuum, rinse and keep in top shape. But you may find the pre-filter attached to the main one in budget air purifiers. It\u2019s better than not having one, but it\u2019s also harder to clean.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>An <strong>activated carbon filter<\/strong> to adsorb gasses and smells. If you need an air purifier to deal with mold spores, for example, an activated carbon filter won\u2019t be absolutely necessary, as spores are not gases but particles.<br><br>But if you are after a device to help you reduce unwanted smells or deal with chemicals and VOCs, then an activated carbon filter will be able to do what particle filters (like HEPA or MERV 13) cannot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-e1ea462a\">\n\n<div class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-6b62f587 gb-headline-h3\"><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 16\" height=\"16\" width=\"12\"> <path fill=\"#3984FF\" d=\"M1.91163 10.3887C1.20852 9.73924 0.672218 8.92995 0.348106 8.02933C0.0239945 7.12871 -0.0783867 6.16327 0.0496268 5.2147C0.176204 4.25288 0.534116 3.33609 1.09269 2.54291C1.65126 1.74973 2.39382 1.10383 3.25675 0.660548C4.11967 0.21727 5.07721 -0.0101573 6.04729 -0.00224163C7.01738 0.00567404 7.97108 0.248697 8.82665 0.705997C9.68223 1.1633 10.4142 1.82124 10.9597 2.62342C11.5053 3.42561 11.8482 4.34812 11.959 5.31188C12.0699 6.27564 11.9454 7.25191 11.5963 8.15702C11.2471 9.06213 10.6837 9.86908 9.95429 10.5087C9.48461 10.9125 9.11996 11.4243 8.89163 12H6.66629V7.2107C7.0549 7.07331 7.39157 6.81921 7.63024 6.48317C7.8689 6.14712 7.99792 5.74554 7.99963 5.33337C7.99963 5.15656 7.92939 4.98699 7.80436 4.86196C7.67934 4.73694 7.50977 4.6667 7.33296 4.6667C7.15615 4.6667 6.98658 4.73694 6.86156 4.86196C6.73653 4.98699 6.66629 5.15656 6.66629 5.33337C6.66629 5.51018 6.59606 5.67975 6.47103 5.80477C6.34601 5.9298 6.17644 6.00003 5.99963 6.00003C5.82282 6.00003 5.65325 5.9298 5.52822 5.80477C5.4032 5.67975 5.33296 5.51018 5.33296 5.33337C5.33296 5.15656 5.26272 4.98699 5.1377 4.86196C5.01267 4.73694 4.8431 4.6667 4.66629 4.6667C4.48948 4.6667 4.31991 4.73694 4.19489 4.86196C4.06986 4.98699 3.99963 5.15656 3.99963 5.33337C4.00134 5.74554 4.13035 6.14712 4.36902 6.48317C4.60769 6.81921 4.94435 7.07331 5.33296 7.2107V12H3.04163C2.78676 11.3871 2.40111 10.8371 1.91163 10.3887ZM3.33296 13.3334V13.54C3.33367 14.1923 3.59307 14.8176 4.05426 15.2787C4.51544 15.7399 5.14074 15.9993 5.79296 16H6.20629C6.85851 15.9993 7.48381 15.7399 7.945 15.2787C8.40618 14.8176 8.66559 14.1923 8.66629 13.54V13.3334H3.33296Z\"><\/path> <\/svg><\/span><span class=\"gb-headline-text\"><strong>Tip<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Activated carbon is a sorbent media that traps gas molecules on its porous surface.

On the contrary, it\u2019s important to balance fan power and filter thickness. If a filter is too dense and the air purifier is not potent enough to draw a good amount of air and pass it through, the cleaning power is reduced. It takes longer to remove airborne pollutants with restricted airflow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-22a4451d\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-d0b7d4e3 gb-accordion\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-9b9cb140 gb-accordion__item gb-accordion__item-open\" data-transition=\"slide\">\n\n<button class=\"gb-button gb-button-b071ac73 gb-accordion__toggle gb-block-is-current gb-headline-h4\" id=\"gb-accordion-toggle-b071ac73\"><span class=\"gb-button-text\"><strong>What about ionizer air purifiers?<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon-open\"><path d=\"M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/button>\n\n\n<div id=\"gb-accordion-content-790cb048\" class=\"gb-accordion__content\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-790cb048\">\n\n<p>Many mechanical air purifiers also feature a built-in ionizer that can boost the units\u2019 CADR and efficiency. Although ionizing technology is continuously evolving, at HouseFresh, we prefer those units where, like in the Winix A230 or the 5500-2 included in the list, the ionizing function can be disabled at the user\u2019s convenience.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-noise-output-1h3\"><strong>3. Noise output<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The fan that powers your air purifier can generate a lot of noise, and you are unlikely to want to use your unit regularly if this noise becomes too much. That is why it&#8217;s worth factoring in how noisy the unit will be, especially when running at its top fan speed. This is particularly important if you want an air purifier for the bedroom or your home office.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two things to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Smaller units won\u2019t make much of a difference to the air when running at the slowest fan speed, and they tend to be noisier than larger ones at top speed.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Some air purifiers suited for big spaces can be whisper-quiet when running at their lowest fan speeds, so it is worth going bigger to get a unit that will run quieter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-long-term-costs-1h3\"><strong>4. Long-term costs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the upfront cost of buying an air purifier, you should also consider associated maintenance costs such as energy usage and filter replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Running your air purifier 24\/7 2ill substantially improve your air, but that also means an appliance adding to your electricity bill all day, year-round. The good news is that many energy-efficient units out there won\u2019t significantly affect your monthly expenses. However, make sure to check this to avoid unpleasant surprises, as some units are on the power-hungry side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few things to consider in terms of filters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Filter replacement costs vary among brands and models \u2014 and so does the required replacement frequency.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The longer a unit has been on the market, the more probable good-quality generic filters will be available.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More and more brands are offering convenient filter subscriptions that are cost-effective and include perks for happier customers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-extra-features-1h3\"><strong>5. Extra features<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An extensive control panel with smart functions, app support, onboard air quality sensors or remote controls are handy perks that can make life easier. A no-lights mode for the bedroom, for example, is definitely something worth considering.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if asked, I would recommend not to sacrifice CADR or performance over fancier tech-y bonuses. After all, the purpose of an air purifier is to clean the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-eabe930c gb-headline-text\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-text toc-include\" data-name=\"How we test\" class=\"gb-text toc-include\" data-name=\"How we test\" id=\"how-we-test-air-purifiers-1h2\">How we test air purifiers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"saying-we-tested-104-air-purifiers-in-the-last-four-years-sounds-great-doesnt-it-but-what-does-testing-mean-for-housefresh-1h3\">Saying we tested 104 air purifiers in the last four years sounds great, doesn\u2019t it?

On the contrary, it is a thorough process that involves reliable testing devices to cover the many aspects of air purifier evaluation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Air cleaning performance is key, for sure. But we go further. When you decide to invest in an air purifier that will be constantly running at home, things like long-term costs and noise output are also important in a real-world context.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our testing process includes the following steps:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-1-we-conduct-a-particle-removal-test-1h4\"><strong>Step 1.

More often than not, expensive air purifiers get boosted because the associated commissions are higher than those for budget-friendly air purifiers. There are plenty of overpriced units out there with shockingly low cleaning performance that are best to avoid, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/housefresh.com\/puroair-hepa-14-240-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PuroAir 240<\/a> or the <a href=\"https:\/\/housefresh.com\/molekule-mini-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Molekule Mini<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, some expensive air purifiers are definitely worth considering. Take the <a href=\"https:\/\/housefresh.com\/iqair-healthpro-plus-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IQAir HealthPro Plus<\/a>, for example. It\u2019s a pricey unit, no doubt. But you get certified quality for a life-long unit that will tackle any pollutant in your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smart features also build up in a unit\u2019s price tag, so if you are into auto modes, air quality readings or remote app control, you might consider chipping in an extra buck.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-87d582fd\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-c6d19276 gb-accordion\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-e0238f42 gb-accordion__item\" data-transition=\"slide\">\n\n<button class=\"gb-button gb-button-15374b3c gb-accordion__toggle gb-headline-h4\" id=\"gb-accordion-toggle-15374b3c\"><span class=\"gb-button-text\">Q:<strong> <strong>Is it better to have multiple air purifiers or one big one?<\/strong><\/strong><\/span><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon-open\"><path d=\"M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/button>\n\n\n<div id=\"gb-accordion-content-19c8762b\" class=\"gb-accordion__content\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-19c8762b\">\n\n<p>Usually, one powerful air purifier is more convenient than two or more smaller units.&nbsp;Although a bigger, high-performing unit will have a larger footprint and take up more space, the long-term costs (filters, energy bills) and noise output would be doubled or tripled with more than one air purifier running constantly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, if you have a very large space (think 800+ sq. ft.), then you might be better off placing multiple air purifiers around the room. <a href=\"https:\/\/thesicktimes.org\/2024\/12\/24\/invisible-defenses-a-guide-for-cleaner-indoor-air\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">In this thorough guide to ventilation and air cleaners<\/a> you will find an example of someone who chose multiple units to clean the air in her large loft.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-092ec7ed\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-9bfa76db gb-accordion\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-6b0e667b gb-accordion__item\" data-transition=\"slide\">\n\n<button class=\"gb-button gb-button-4a106059 gb-accordion__toggle gb-headline-h4\" id=\"gb-accordion-toggle-4a106059\"><span class=\"gb-button-text\">Q:<strong> <strong>Should the air purifier go on the floor or table?<\/strong><\/strong><\/span><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon-open\"><path d=\"M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/button>\n\n\n<div id=\"gb-accordion-content-a945d696\" class=\"gb-accordion__content\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-a945d696\">\n\n<p>Finding <a href=\"https:\/\/housefresh.com\/where-should-i-place-my-air-purifier\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the right spot to place an air purifier<\/a> is key. Height is only one variable, but ensuring the unit is far enough from the wall or furnishing to draw in enough air is as important. And so it is that the air purifier has the right CADR to effectively achieve enough ACH in the room.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, in terms of height, ideal placement will depend on the use you\u2019ll give the air purifier. In bedrooms, for example, it is best to place the unit 2-3 ft off the ground to take advantage of the clean airflow as you lie sleeping. But if the unit will be in the kitchen, where you spend most of the time standing, it would be best to put it a tad higher, about 4-5 feet off the ground. The idea is to keep the air outlet close to the source of pollutants and to your breathing zone.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-f0e791aa\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-d4720c90 gb-accordion\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-c83f6588 gb-accordion__item\" data-transition=\"slide\">\n\n<button class=\"gb-button gb-button-deecde0b gb-accordion__toggle gb-headline-h4\" id=\"gb-accordion-toggle-deecde0b\"><span class=\"gb-button-text\">Q:<strong> <strong>Do air purifiers really remove dust?<\/strong><\/strong><\/span><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon-open\"><path d=\"M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/button>\n\n\n<div id=\"gb-accordion-content-23346de1\" class=\"gb-accordion__content\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-23346de1\">\n\n<p>Short answer: yes, air purifiers definitely remove dust.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The woven fiber maze of HEPA filters captures larger, coarse particles (such as pollen, dead skin flakes, dust mites, mold spores, pet fur or dander) and tiny ones as small as 0.3 and sometimes 0.1 microns (fine dust, soot, smoke, viruses and bacteria).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As this particulate matter (usually called PM10 and PM2.5, referring to the particle sizes) is trapped by the filter, it\u2019s permanently removed, unable to reenter your indoor air.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-60486b95\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-d91395ba gb-accordion\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-ffeeae35 gb-accordion__item\" data-transition=\"slide\">\n\n<button class=\"gb-button gb-button-09d3b30c gb-accordion__toggle gb-headline-h4\" id=\"gb-accordion-toggle-09d3b30c\"><span class=\"gb-button-text\">Q:<strong> <strong>How do I get the best results from an air purifier?<\/strong><\/strong><\/span><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" ariahidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon-open\"><path d=\"M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/button>\n\n\n<div id=\"gb-accordion-content-797a7147\" class=\"gb-accordion__content\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-797a7147\">\n\n<p>There are a few things to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Placement: <\/strong>Finding the right spot for your unit is of utmost importance.
