Hathspace Air Purifier

The Hathaspace air purifier is a value-packed, mid-size purifier that can treat rooms up to 700 sf and is user friendly. It comes with manual speed settings, auto mode, timer, and sleep mode for additional flexibility. Overall, it’s a solid win for a mid-range purifier option. In our tests it was able to reduce PM2.5 to 0.1 and PM10 to 0.2, a good performance, especially at this price point.Check Price

Pros

  • 5-stage purification system
  • Auto Mode detects real-time air quality and automatically adjusts
  • Includes remote control for improved usability
  • Good performance in our tests, reducing PM2.5 to 0.1 and PM10 to 0.2.

Cons

  • Lacks smartphone integration
  • Not as sleek of an exterior as some other models we’ve tested

Hathaspace Performance

A purifier’s ability to purify and clean the surrounding air is likely the most important aspect of any air purifier on the market, regardless of size, coverage, features, or budget.

Can it clean the air?

To find out how well the Hathaspace gets the job done, we put it to the test.

Our test involved comparing a baseline air quality reading to the reading after running the purifier for 60 minutes in a closed room.

In the results, we’re comparing the air quality index and PM (2.5 and 10) to get a good idea of how much cleaner the air is.

How do we test?

To start the test, we begin with a baseline measurement, using a Temtop LKC-1000S+ professional air quality detector. 

Once we’ve documented the baseline air quality, we run the purifier in a closed room and document the change in air quality after 60 minutes is up.

Here are the results of the Hathaspace air purifier tests:

Initial Baseline

  • PM 2.5: 2.7
  • PM 10: 4.6
  • Particles: 339
  • AQI: 11

After 1 Hour

  • PM 2.5: 0.1
  • PM 10: 0.2
  • Particles: 44
  • AQI: 1

Within 1 hour, the Hathaspace HSP001 removed 87% of air particulates from the medium-sized room we tested in (approx. 12’x12′) and lowered the PM 2.5 down to 0.1, which is fantastic.

Even the PM 10 count was extremely low, only 0.2, which is great for an air purifier in this price range.

Noticeable Difference in Odor Control

One specific note to highlight, I was impressed with the ability to improve the overall smell of the room. Some purifiers boast carbon filters that don’t really impact the odor, but this is not the case with the Hathaspace.

It could be the combination of carbon filter + ionizer, but the elimination of airborne odors was definitely noticeable between tests.

Hathaspace Design

The Hathaspace air purifier has a white body with black accents. It has softened rounded corners and a digital display screen on the front.

The Controls

There are a few different control features on the front as well, including:

  • Timer
  • Light
  • Power
  • Adjust fan speed
  • Anion generator / Ionizer
  • Sleep

What is an anion?

An anion is a negatively charged ion that can be used to attract positively charged ions. This generator can be separately turned on to target the most stubborn odors like litter boxes, cigarettes, and old homes.

The controls have text and icons to clarify the function of each setting. There are also colored LEDs to communicate different functions, as shown above.

All in all, the controls were intuitive and easy to understand, which is exactly what I like to see when using a new purifier like this.

Of course, you could always reference the user manual, but intuition supersedes a well-drafted user manual, in my opinion.

Area Coverage

This purifier can treat rooms up to 700 sf, which would replace the air once every hour. For faster purification and air changes twice every hour, it could treat rooms up to 350 sf.

Replaces the air 2x per hour in 350 Sq Ft

Modes

The four main modes for this purifier are:

  1. Manual Mode
  2. Auto Mode
  3. Timer Mode
  4. Sleep Mode

#1: Manual Mode lets you adjust the fan, as needed from varying speeds.

#2: Auto Mode uses on-board sensors to detect real-time air quality and adjust the fan speeds automatically.

Air quality will be displayed using an LED light bar that increases in bars when the air quality increases.

  • Green / more bars = good air quality
  • Yellow / less bars = moderate air quality
  • Red / least bars = poor air quality

#3: Timer allows you to set your purifier to turn off after a set amount of time. You can choose up to 12 hours, or not use it at all and let the purifier run continuously.

#4: Sleep Mode allows the unit to run at a quieter speed with the lights off, and the smart sensor will turn off. If you would prefer for the lights to be off in an alternate mode, you can also just press the “Light” button and it will turn off.

Purification Process

The Hathaspace purifier has a 5-stage air purification process. The 5 stages include:

  1. Cold Catalyst Filter
  2. Carbon Filter
  3. Antibacterial Filter
  4. HEPA Filter
  5. Ionizer / Anion Generator

Cold Catalyst Filter: captures large dust particles, pet dander, pollen mold, and toxic chemicals

Accessories & Parts

What all comes with the Hathaspace air purifier? The list is actually a little long, but most of that is for the numerous filters that it uses. Here’s the complete list.

What’s in the box?

Our unit did not include a remote control, most likely because it was an early pre-release version. However, once it launches it will include a remote control.

The included remote gives full control of the purifier from across the room and is powered by 2 AAA batteries (not included).

Setup & Usability

Getting the Hathaspace air purifier up and running was relatively simple and took only a few minutes.

To get going right out of the box:

  • Unbox the purifier.
  • Remove packaging from filters and re-install.
  • Plug it in. The red power indicator will light up.
  • Use the Power button on the unit or remote to turn
    on/off.

At this point, the purifier will start in AUTO mode and the smart sensor will automatically initiate when the unit is turned on.

The unit will adjust the fan speed automatically, beginning in high for a few minutes and moving down as needed.

Maintenance

The biggest piece of maintaining the Hathaspace purifier really just comes down to taking care of the filters.

There are 4 filters with this unit and they need to be replaced every 4 months, according to the manufacturer.

Depending on use, you may be able to stretch that to 6 months, but the performance would be a little unknown at that point.

These filters are not washable. Proper maintenance of the filters helps ensure that the air is cleaned as efficiently as possible.

Is the Hathaspace a good value?

When it comes to value, we are mainly looking at how the price compares to all of the features, performance, and technical specs.

Do you get what you pay for?

In the case of Hathaspace, I would say the answer is yes. This purifier falls under $200 and still packs in quite a few features, including:

  • Good air purification performance
  • User-friendly interface
  • Remote control
  • Auto Mode

Really the only box it doesn’t check off is wireless integration with your smartphone, but with the addition of the remote control, that feature may not even be necessary.

All in all, this purifier is a solid buy.

Should You Buy the Hathaspace Air Purifier?

Overall, I would recommend the Hathaspace HSP001 if you’re looking for the following features in an air purifier:

  • Real-time air quality assessment: The Auto Mode is a nice feature on this purifier and can help to take the guesswork out of cleaning the air in your home. Auto Mode uses on-board sensors to detect air quality in real-time and make adjustments as needed. When the air quality improves, it will automatically lower the fan speed to save energy.
  • 5-stage purification: There are five different levels of defense acting in this purifier. Some of the most notable include HEPA filtration, the carbon filter, and the ionizer (which helps to neutralize odors). When we tested this unit, the air was noticeably fresher and the air quality meter confirmed our assumptions.
  • Good value: For less than $200, it’s hard to beat the value of the Hathaspace air purifier. It has good coverage, good performance, and good usability. All in all, it meets a lot of standards for a solid air purifier and I think it is well worth the cost.

Summary

The Hathaspace HSP001 air purifier is a mid-size purifier that can treat rooms up to 700 sf, or up to 350 sf if you want more frequent air changes (2x per hour). It comes with manual settings, an Auto Mode, as well as a remote control, and an easy to use interface. During our tests, I was pleased with the results of Hathaspace. After running an hour, it was able to effectively clean the air as well as make a noticeable improvement in indoor air quality and odors. For a middle-of-the-road air purifier that won’t bust the budget, the Hathaspace purifier can be a solid option.
