Overview

• MeacoClean CA-Hepa took first place with an overall 2.06, moving 380 m³ of air per hour and cleaning a 10 m² room in about 20 minutes while filtering fine dust, bacteria, viruses and odors.
• Soehnle Airfresh Clean Connect 500 finished third at 2.18 yet was the lowest-priced unit at about €80 and removed cigarette smoke in very short time during testing.
• Rowenta PU8080 Pure Home placed second with a 2.08, followed by Xiaomi Smart Air Purifier 4 Pro at 2.20 and Ikea Starkvind at 2.90.
• Both featured models can be controlled on the device or via app but do not support Google Home or Amazon Alexa.
• Feature differences stood out: Meaco omits a UV lamp but adds a carry handle and sleep, auto and timer modes, while Soehnle includes a germ‑targeting UV light and a compact build; IMTEST also reports category scores (performance 1.44 for Meaco, 1.47 for Soehnle) and discloses affiliate links with prices current to Oct. 6–7, 2025.
