What we like about Fellowes AeraMax SE H13

  • Highly effective H13 True HEPA filtration capturing 99.95% of small particles down to 0.1 microns
  • Excellent large room and office coverage, handling spaces up to 915 square feet (80m²)
  • Responsive AeraSmart sensor that accurately detects air quality drops and adjusts fan speed automatically
  • Noticeable reduction in home allergens, dust, smoke, pet dander, and kitchen odors
  • Runs very quietly on the lowest fan and sleep settings, making it ideal for nighttime use
  • Simple control panel layout that is easy to navigate and operate

What we don't like about Fellowes AeraMax SE H13

  • High cost of the unit and expensive annual replacement filters
  • Fan gets noticeably loud and noisy when operating at its highest speed setting
  • Lacks the signature PlasmaTrue ionization technology found in other Fellowes models
  • The lack of multiple separate physical filter layers means dust accumulates directly on the main filter assembly

Verdict

The Fellowes AeraMax SE features a 3-in-1 hybrid filtration system—combining a pre-filter, an activated carbon filter, and a medical-grade H13 True HEPA filter—that captures 99.95% of airborne particles as small as 0.1 microns, including smoke, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and allergens. Engineered for large rooms and offices between 50m² and 80m², it delivers a high Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) of 602 m³/hour and provides 3 to 5 air changes per hour while running on a low average power consumption of 35W. Key pros include the AeraSmart Sensor that automatically adjusts the 3-speed fan based on real-time air quality, an ultra-quiet 47.3 dB noise level, an antimicrobial filter treatment, and a 3-year limited warranty. However, notable cons include an estimated filter lifespan limited to 12 months, the ongoing cost of replacing the all-in-one hybrid filter, and a maximum noise output that can reach up to 69.5 dB on its highest settings.
