Purifier companies like to give lifespan numbers without proper reasoning. Clearly, the E12 filter will not last as long in Bangladesh air as compared to Swiss air. We estimated the lifespan of the Sqair\u2019s E12 filter using <a href=\"https:\/\/smartairfilters.com\/en\/blog\/sqair-hepa-lifespan-test\/\">two methods<\/a>. From the data, we recommend up to <strong style=\"color: #425da2;font-size: 20px\">1400<\/strong> hours of use.
