Delivering the most clean air per minute for the money, has made the The Whirlpool® Whispure™ AP450 True HEPA Air Purifier ‐ Model AP45030K our most popular unit. With an AHAM Certified¹ clean air delivery rate (CADR) that matches the larger Whispure 510 for dust and smoke, plus an excellent rating for pollen, you can be assured the Whispure 450 delivers certifiably clean air in rooms up to 490 square feet. Plus, its Energy Star® efficiency translates into more energy savings for you. While its price might be for the budget minded, you would need a much more expensive machine to match the cleaning power of the Whispure 450!
The Whispure 450 blends Whirlpool's expertise in home appliances with True HEPA filtration and sound-reducing technology. The True HEPA filter removes 99.97% of particles to 0.3 microns, with less air flow resistance to reduce noise, and less power consumption to lower energy bills. The activated charcoal pre-filter further removes odors and gases to keep air fresh while protecting the life of the HEPA. The Whispure 450 features 3 fan settings to purify air…and to control noise levels. The unit runs very quietly on low and medium settings. Although somewhat louder on high, the Whispure 450 is still only about half as loud as comparable brands.
Designed to blend inconspicuously into your home décor, the Whispure 450 works anywhere, even against a wall. The unit's modest but good-looking control panel is loved by customers wanting attractive simplicity. Intelligently designed with a large open face for air intake and top air output for maximum delivery of filtered air, you will be amazed at just how much clean air the Whispure 450 produces.
Filter maintenance is a breeze with the Whirlpool 450. Filter monitor lights conveniently signal the need for HEPA and pre-filter changes through the easily accessible front panel. Under normal conditions, the pre-filter will need replacement every 3 months, and the HEPA filter once a year. 5-Year Mfr. Limited Warranty.

Whirlpool Whispure™ AP450 Air Purifier Instructions ‐ Model AP45030K
Please see Owner's Manual tab for operating and care instructions, plus full instructions on changing the filters.
General on Pre-Filter:
- The pre-filter absorbs odors and captures large airborne particles that enter the air purifier. Therefore, regularly changing the pre-filter will keep your unit performing at its best, and preserve the life of the HEPA filter.
General on HEPA Filter:
- Remember that the filter's service life is related to the volume of air that passes through the purifier and the amount of contaminants in the air. If your indoor air has unusually high levels of airborne particulates or contaminants, the filter's service life may be shortened.
- Regular maintenance helps to prolong the life of the HEPA filter. Keep the area surrounding the air purifier clean, and be sure to change the pre-filter approximately every 3 months.
- Replace the HEPA filter if you notice a significant drop in air flow or if the filter media is excessively darkened.
NOTE: Do NOT immerse the pre-filter or HEPA filter in water ‐ they are NOT washable.
