Verdict

Pros & cons

Der Medify Air MA-14 ist ein kompakter Luftreiniger mit echtem H13-Filter für genau einen kleinen Raum wie Arbeitszimmer oder Wohnmobil. Nachts läuft er mit 26 dB leise und schaltet alle Lichter ab. Mit 97 m³/h CADR reicht er aber nur für rund 8 m², ein Sensor fehlt, und alle vier Monate ein neuer Filter treibt die Folgekosten hoch.

Pros

  • H13-Filter nach EN 1822 in einem Gehäuse von 31 cm Höhe und 2,4 kg
  • Schlafmodus mit 26 dB, alle Lichter gehen nach fünf Sekunden aus
  • Sparsam mit 7,3 W auf Stufe 1 und 0,3 W im Standby
  • Einfache Bedienung per Tasten, ohne App, Konto oder WLAN
  • Timer mit 1, 2, 4 oder 8 Stunden
  • Ionisator lässt sich per Taste abschalten

Cons

  • CADR von 97 m³/h reicht nur für Räume bis etwa 8 m²
  • Filter alle vier Monate fällig, drei Ersatzfilter pro Jahr
  • Dünne Aktivkohleschicht bindet Koch- und Rauchgerüche kaum
  • Kein Partikelsensor und keine Automatik, Stufe nur von Hand
  • Stufe 3 mit 53 dB im stillen Zimmer ständig hörbar

Der Shark NeverChange HP072 ist ein kompakter Luftreiniger für ein Zimmer bis etwa 13 m², nicht für die beworbenen 23 m². Sein Vorzug: fünf Jahre ohne neuen Hauptfilter, dazu ein Display mit echten Feinstaubwerten. Der Haken liegt nachts: Schon Stufe 1 stört empfindliche Schläfer, und die Duftkartusche solltest du vor dem Start herausnehmen.

Pros

  • HEPA-Filter auf 60 Monate ausgelegt, kaum Folgekosten
  • Display zeigt PM2,5 und PM10 als Zahlenwerte
  • Automatik reagiert schnell auf Rauch und Staub
  • Nachtmodus schaltet Display und Leuchtring vollständig ab
  • Waschbarer Vorfilter in etwa 1 Minute gereinigt
  • Mit 2 kg leicht zwischen Räumen zu tragen

Cons

  • 165 m³/h reichen nur für rund 13 m² statt beworbener 23 m²
  • Schon die niedrigste Stufe für viele Schläfer zu laut
  • Duftkartusche mit Warnhinweis ab Werk eingesetzt
  • Keine App und keine Fernbedienung
  • Kochgerüche verschwinden nur langsam
