- Is the 45i enough for a large living room?
- Alen rates it for up to 800 sq ft, but its CADR of 245 means it cleans that space slowly. For a busy open room, a unit with a higher CADR is a better fit.
- Does it come with a filter?
- Yes, a True HEPA filter is included. Replacement filters are sold separately and are the main ongoing cost.
- How loud is it on high?
- Alen lists a maximum of 49 dB. That is roughly the level of a quiet conversation, so it is noticeable but not overpowering.
- Can I control it from my phone?
- No. The 45i has manual controls only, with no Wi-Fi, app or voice control.
- How much does it cost to run?
- It draws about 50 W at the top speed, so running it continuously costs only a few dollars a month at typical US electricity rates.
- Is $449 a good price?
- That is the best new price across the two stores listing it as of November 7, 2026. With little store competition, discounts are uncommon, so waiting rarely saves much.
