What size power station for an air purifier (room air cleaner)?

It needs a station with at least 25 W of continuous output (starting watts not published, so the check uses running watts). At the default 85% efficiency it takes about 235 Wh of rated capacity for 8 hours of running, and 706 Wh for 24 hours of running. 54 of the 54 power stations in the Enough Watts data set can power it. The smallest one that keeps it going for 24 hours of running is the BLUETTI Elite 100 mini (1,005 Wh).

Watts

Typical figures for this type, from the sources at the foot of this page. Watts vary by model and age. Check the label on your own appliance and enter it for an exact answer.

Running, typical: 25 W
Running, low to high: 8 W to 60 W
Starting: Not publishedmotors often need 2 to 3 times their running watts to start
Typical use a day: 24 hhours the motor actually runs
Average draw while on: 25 W
Voltage: 120 V

Counts the running watts for every hour you enter.
Starting watts not published; motors often need 2 to 3 times their running watts to start.

The math

Worked with the typical figure, as the calculator does it.

Output25 W running, so the station's continuous output must be at least 25 W.
SurgeStarting watts are not published, so the surge check uses the 25 W running figure.
Average draw25 W: the running watts count for every hour it is on, as if the motor never paused.
A typical day25 W × 24 h = 600 Wh a day.
8 hours of running25 W × 8 h = 200 Wh usable, ÷ 0.85 = 235 Wh of rated capacity.
24 hours of running25 W × 24 h = 600 Wh usable, ÷ 0.85 = 706 Wh of rated capacity.
On the BLUETTI Elite 100 mini1,005 Wh × 0.85 = 854 Wh usable, ÷ 25 W = 34.2 h.

What moves the number

Fan speed sets the draw. Purifiers are rated at their highest speed, where certified models draw 8 W to 60 W, 25 W in the middle. Lower speeds draw less, so a purifier on a medium setting through the night uses less than the math here.

Questions

How many watts does an air purifier (room air cleaner) use?

About 25 W while running, from 8 W to 60 W across the models in our sources. Watts vary by model and age. Check the label on your own appliance and enter it for an exact answer.

Can a portable power station run an air purifier (room air cleaner)?

Yes. All 54 power stations in the Enough Watts data set can power it on its own. It takes at least 25 W of continuous output.

How long will a power station run an air purifier (room air cleaner)?

It depends on the battery. At 85% efficiency the smallest station that powers it, the BLUETTI Elite 10 Mini (128 Wh), gives about 4.4 h. The largest, the EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra X (12,288 Wh), gives about 17.4 days.

Does an air purifier (room air cleaner) need extra watts to start?

Its starting watts are not published, and motors often need 2 to 3 times their running watts to start. Without a published figure the site checks the start at the 25 W running figure, so leave headroom above that on your station.
