A large purifier is for an open living area, a basement or a room over 390 square feet, and for wildfire smoke, where more clean air per minute makes the biggest difference. Larger units are usually the cheapest per cfm and often quieter for the air they move, since they can run a big fan slowly. Filter costs climb with size, so check the yearly figure.
