Frequently asked questions
How big a room does the Lux LACS-1 Aura cover?
AHAM suggests it for a room up to 698 square feet. That rating assumes it runs on high and cleans the air about 4.8 times an hour. For faster cleaning — say for wildfire smoke or allergies — size it to a smaller room than the maximum.
What is the CADR of the Lux LACS-1 Aura?
Its AHAM Clean Air Delivery Rate is 400 for dust, 450 for smoke and 450 for pollen. CADR is cubic feet of clean air delivered per minute — higher clears a room faster.
Does the Lux LACS-1 Aura use a real HEPA filter?
The AHAM listing does not publish the filter type for this unit.
How much power does the Lux LACS-1 Aura use?
About 120 watts on its smoke-clearing setting, which works out to 3.8 CADR per watt — a measure of how much clean air you get for the electricity it draws. It is not ENERGY STAR certified.
Where can I buy the Lux LACS-1 Aura?
It's a retail unit, so the fastest way to find it is to search for the exact model on Amazon and compare current sellers and price. The replacement filters are the recurring cost — check those before you commit to a brand.
Sources. Clean Air Delivery Rate (dust / smoke / pollen), PM2.5 CADR, suggested room size, ENERGY STAR status and power draw come from the AHAM Verifide air-cleaner directory (the industry's independent CADR test). Average CADR, clean-air-per-watt and the percentile figures are computed by Verified HVAC Data from those published ratings. We publish no star ratings and take no payment for placement. "Not published" means AHAM's record doesn't disclose it — we never fill a spec with a guess.
