GermGuardian AC5600WDLX Air Purifier vs GermGuardian GG3000BCA UV-C Air Sanitizer

Buy the AC5600WDLX if you want real particle filtration: its HEPA and carbon filters trap dust, pollen, pet dander and odors, and it cleans a small room about four times an hour. The GG3000BCA has no filter at all, so it only uses UV-C light to sanitize air and cut odors in a roughly 100 sq ft space. Owners rate both well, but the AC5600WDLX does far more for the money in filtration terms, while the GG3000BCA wins on size, weight and zero filter upkeep.

• Choose the GermGuardian AC5600WDLX if you have allergies, pets or smoke and need actual HEPA filtration in a bedroom, office or dorm room.
• Choose the GermGuardian GG3000BCA if you want a small, light, filter-free unit to freshen the air and reduce odors in a laundry room, bathroom or small bedroom.
