What we like about KALADO KCA01

  • Highly effective at removing allergens, pet dander, dust, and smoke odors
  • Fast air purification with double-sided intakes and 360-degree circulation
  • Very quiet operation when running in sleep mode (around 25dB)
  • Useful smart features including app control, Alexa compatibility, and real-time PM2.5 monitoring
  • Convenient visual elements such as a clear LCD screen, air quality color indicators, and a built-in nightlight

What we don't like about KALADO KCA01

  • Can be quite loud when operating at maximum fan speeds
  • Replacement filters can sometimes be difficult to find or source
  • Requires a separate third-party application to utilize the Wi-Fi smart features
  • Some users report the price of the unit and dual-filter replacements can be expensive

Verdict

The KALADO KCA01 is a smart air purifier featuring a dual air intake design and a three-stage filtration system consisting of a pre-filter, an activated carbon filter, and an H13 True HEPA filter that captures 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns. It delivers a Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) of 141 CFM (260 m³/h), allowing it to completely cycle a 350 sq ft room in 18 minutes or up to a 1,300 sq ft space in 1 hour. Main pros include real-time PM2.5 monitoring via a colour-coded visual LCD display, smart voice control compatibility with Amazon Alexa and Google Home, an ultra-quiet sleep mode operating at 20–25 dB, and an precise grid-based filter life tracking system. However, notable cons include its bulkier footprint compared to smaller bedroom units, a relatively high initial price point, and the recurring cost of replacing its dual-filter set every 3 to 6 months.
