6 Best Whirlpool Air Purifiers of 2025

The Whirlpool WP500B steps into the air purification arena with a sleek, compact design that doesn’t sacrifice performance—making it a standout for small-space dwellers who demand serious air cleaning. With a True HEPA filter capturing 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns and a carbon pre-filter targeting odors from pets, cooking, and smoke, this purifier tackles both allergens and smells with surgical precision. Its 20.55” x 10” x 24.13” footprint fits neatly in corners, dorm rooms, or home offices, solving the common pain point of bulky units dominating living areas.

In real-world testing, the WP500B handles a 490 sq ft room with ease, cycling air efficiently thanks to its four fan speeds, including a turbo mode ideal for post-vacuum dust storms or high-allergy days. The filter replacement indicators aren’t present, so users must track maintenance manually—annoying for forgetful owners. While it performs admirably in medium rooms, it’s not built for open-concept spaces over 500 sq ft, where larger models pull ahead. Still, its consistent airflow and quiet low-speed operation make it a reliable companion for daytime use or light sleepers.

Compared to the Whirlpool WPT80B, the WP500B trades advanced anti-bacterial Whishield tech and near-silent operation for a more premium price and compact stature. It’s best suited for users prioritizing space-saving aesthetics and strong filtration over smart sensors or bacteria-killing capabilities. While it lacks auto-adjusting features found in higher-end models, its no-nonsense reliability and strong particulate capture make it a solid mid-tier pick—delivering premium filtration in a minimalist shell.

The Whirlpool WPT80B is a quiet powerhouse built for pet owners who want clean, fresh-smelling air without the drone of a jet engine. Its True HEPA and activated carbon filters team up to capture 99.97% of allergens like pet dander and mold spores while neutralizing stubborn odors from litter boxes, wet dogs, and cooking—making it a must-have for homes with furry residents. The real magic lies in the Whishield technology, which eliminates 99.99% of bacteria on the filter, ensuring the unit doesn’t become a breeding ground over time.

During testing, the WPT80B proved exceptionally effective in rooms up to 300 sq ft, with CADR ratings of 142 (smoke), 152 (dust), and 164 (pollen) confirming its strong particle-clearing ability. On low and sleep modes, it’s virtually silent, making it ideal for bedrooms or nurseries where noise sensitivity is high. Even on high, it emits a soothing white noise rather than an intrusive hum. However, it lacks smart sensors or auto mode, so you’ll need to manually adjust settings based on air quality.

When stacked against the WPT60B, the WPT80B offers the same core tech but covers a larger area and feels more robust in build. It’s less advanced than the WPPRO2000B but delivers 90% of the performance at half the price. Perfect for pet owners or allergy sufferers in medium-sized rooms, it balances silent operation, hygiene, and odor control without overcomplicating things—offering exceptional value for its class.

The Whirlpool WPT80P is a budget-savvy hero for large rooms, delivering hospital-grade air cleaning without the premium price tag—making it one of the smartest picks for value-focused buyers. With a True HEPA filter capturing 99.97% of allergens and an activated carbon layer for odors, it handles pollen, pet dander, and kitchen smells with ease, all while running on an Energy Star-approved system that won’t spike your electric bill. Its Whishield anti-bacterial coating ensures the filter stays hygienic, a rare perk at this price point.

In real-world use, the WPT80P excels in rooms up to 300 sq ft, quietly maintaining clean air thanks to its virtually silent low settings and efficient sleep mode. While it doesn’t have smart sensors or auto-adjusting fan speeds, its manual controls are intuitive and effective. The lack of CADR specs listed is a slight drawback for data-driven buyers, but performance matches similar models in its class. It’s not ideal for massive open layouts, but for bedrooms, home offices, or apartments, it’s more than capable.

Compared to the WPT60B, it offers the same features but covers a slightly larger area, making it a better fit for larger bedrooms or small living rooms. Against the pricier WPPRO2000B, it trades smart auto mode and a larger coverage area for significant cost savings. If you want high-end filtration without high-end spending, the WPT80P delivers where it counts—clean air, quiet operation, and long-term hygiene.

The Whirlpool WPT60B is a no-frills workhorse designed for mid-size rooms where reliable, whisper-quiet air cleaning matters most—perfect for budget-conscious buyers who still want premium filtration. It harnesses a True HEPA filter to trap 99.97% of allergens like dust and mold spores, while the activated carbon pre-filter keeps pet and cooking odors at bay. With Whishield technology eliminating 99.99% of bacteria on the filter, it’s a hygienic choice for homes with kids or allergy sufferers.

Testing showed strong performance in rooms up to 250 sq ft, with near-silent operation on low and sleep modes—ideal for nurseries, bedrooms, or home offices. The Energy Star approval means it runs efficiently, and the sleep mode quietly maintains air quality overnight. However, like other models in this line, it lacks auto-sensing tech, requiring manual adjustments. It also doesn’t include filter replacement indicators, which could lead to delayed maintenance.

Compared to the WPT80P, it covers a smaller area but costs even less, making it the entry point into Whirlpool’s premium filtration tech. Against the WP500B, it loses on design and turbo mode but wins on price and silent operation. For those seeking affordable, quiet, and effective air cleaning in medium rooms, the WPT60B delivers core benefits without extras you might not need—making it a smart foundational pick.

The Whirlpool WPPRO2000B is the undisputed champion of the Whispure lineup—a smart, powerful, and whisper-quiet air purifier built for those who want the best, no compromises. With Smart Auto Mode, it constantly monitors air quality and automatically adjusts fan speed, ensuring peak performance without manual intervention. Its True HEPA and activated carbon filters capture 99.97% of allergens and neutralize odors from smoke, pets, and cooking, while the Quiet Partner System makes it one of the silent high-efficiency purifiers on the market.

In real-world testing, it handled a 508 sq ft living space with ease, rapidly clearing smoke and dust thanks to its high CADR performance (implied by class-leading status). The auto mode responds quickly to air changes, like when frying onions or during wildfire season, ramping up fan speed before you even notice the smell. Sleep mode is exceptionally quiet, making it perfect for light sleepers. While the filters are costly to replace, the 5-year warranty and consistent performance justify the investment.

Against the WPT80B, it offers larger coverage, auto-sensing, and smarter operation—but at nearly double the price. Compared to the WPPRO2000P, it’s functionally identical, just in a different color. For users in large rooms who want set-it-and-forget-it intelligence and top-tier filtration, the WPPRO2000B is the complete package—blending smart tech, power, and silence like no other in the lineup.

The Whirlpool WPPRO2000P is the pinnacle of smart air purification, engineered for large rooms where power, precision, and quiet operation are non-negotiable. With a 508 sq ft coverage and CADR rated at 328, it’s the most powerful in the Whispure series—perfect for open-concept homes or allergy sufferers needing hospital-grade air. Its Smart Auto Mode actively senses pollutants and adjusts fan speed in real time, while the Quiet Partner System ensures it does so without disturbing sleep or work.

In testing, it excelled at handling sudden air quality drops—like wildfire smoke or post-renovation dust—ramping up quickly and calming down just as fast. The True HEPA and carbon filters work in tandem to remove allergens and odors, and the Energy Star approval keeps energy use low during 24/7 operation. Though it lacks Wi-Fi or app control, its onboard sensors do the heavy lifting efficiently. The filter replacement cost is high, but the 5-year warranty adds peace of mind.

Compared to the WPPRO2000B, it’s functionally identical—same performance, same tech, same price—just in pearl white. Against the WPT80P, it’s a massive upgrade in coverage and automation, though at a much higher cost. For those with large spaces who demand the best filtration, smart responsiveness, and silent performance, the WPPRO2000P delivers a flawless experience—making it the ultimate choice for large-room dominance.
