Can't find CADR info

We've seen some models, but we couldn't find any CADR info on them. Anyone knows why is that? Also, is it better to get one big purified for a larger area or multiple smaller ones?
 
@Momingmom sorry, but a missing CADR rating is a major red flag.
Clean Air Delivery Rate is the industry standard for measuring how fast a purifier can clean the air of smoke, dust, and pollen.
It's a voluntary certification in the US, but most reputable brands get it. When a manufacturer doesn't provide a CADR rating, it's often because their unit's performance is not very good.
It can also mean the purifier uses a technology that CADR doesn't measure, like ionization or UV-C, but in that case, they should be transparent about it

Okay, so aim for models that have CADR rating, got it. Any specific ones you can mention that are good?
