Exciting times ahead for GermGuardian products. GermGuardian CDAP4500BCA WiFi Smart 4-in-1 is the first air purifier in its lineup that featured a Wi-Fi connectivity pairing. Not only you can fully access the air purifier functionality like timer, fanspeed through its GT app, GermGuardian CDAP4500BCA WiFi Smart 4-in-1 is also Voice Control Capable through Gi Gi skill and Amazon Alexa. A simple command like “Alexa, ask Gi Gi to set the fan speed of Bedroom to 2” will automatically set the air purifier fanspeed to 2. Up front the seamless tower shaped design also comes with a SmartAQMTM (Air Quality Monitor) that will light up in Red when air quality is bad, yellow when air quality is so so and green when air quality is good. There is also a control panel with digital display which replicates all the controls available in the app. Rounding up on GermGuardian CDAP4500BCA WiFi Smart 4-in-1 exterior quirks and features, Energy Star and a 3 years manufacture warranty is standard that warrant a pretty solid build quality.
Airflow capability and purifying coverage
Unfortunately GermGuardian CDAP4500BCA WiFi Smart 4-in-1 is one of the weakest Wi-Fi enabled air purifier we tested due to its tower form and price factor. A tremendously efficient air purifier on restricted room size, the airflow distribution rate is actually very consistent regardless of which 5 speed you opt for. In general, GermGuardian CDAP4500BCA WiFi Smart 4-in-1 can be used in living hall but bedroom size would probably suits it best.
Moving on with the purifying capability, GermGuardian CDAP4500BCA WiFi Smart 4-in-1 4-stage filtration depth can covers all ground including odor caused by bacteria. The optional UV-C light works well with the True HEPA filter and Charcoal Pre-filter in trapping up to 99.97% of airborne pollutants and allergens within in its purifying radius.

Final thoughts on GermGuardian CDAP4500BCA WiFi Smart 4-in-1
Rounding up, GermGuardian CDAP4500BCA WiFi Smart 4-in-1 is the exact mirror of other GermGuardian tower air purifier if you remove the Wi-Fi support. Since it share most of the tower air purifier advantages/ disadvantages, we highly recommend consider GermGuardian CDAP4500BCA WiFi Smart 4-in-1 over the others as the convenience remote control brings and SmartAQM with auto mode is highly justifiably for a little money top up.
