Clorox Ultra Air Purifier with UV-C Light (11060) review

The Clorox Ultra Air Purifier with UV-C Light (model 11060) is the largest-capacity member of this Clorox group, but its most important distinction is a separate UV-C stage, not a promise to disinfect a room. Clorox gives it a 460-square-foot rating at five air changes per hour and a much slower 2,200-square-foot figure at one change per hour. Those are different cleaning cadences; use the smaller five-change rating for a room where repeated circulation matters. The product page says the stated room sizes assume a closed room with an eight-foot ceiling and the highest speed. The site carries 460 square feet as a conservative lower bound for its 4.8-ACH comparison, not as a separate manufacturer claim.

Capacity that should be matched to a room, not a headline

The exact page lists CADRs of 296 CFM for smoke, 311 for dust and 307 for pollen. These are laboratory air-delivery ratings, not a guarantee of the same result in every open floor plan. The 11060 is materially larger than Clorox’s 11010 and medium-room 11030J: it stands 25.6 inches tall, measures 12.8 inches across and weighs 25.79 pounds. Allow space around its cylindrical intake and plan where it will live before choosing it for a bedroom or narrow corner. It is not the light, easy-to-move choice in this family.

Four-stage design and the limit of the UV-C claim

Clorox describes a 360-degree three-stage filter followed by UV-C. The product page says the filter captures 99.99% of particles as small as 0.3 microns under its stated test, and says UV-C further reduces certain airborne viruses and bacteria. The page’s footnote limits that result to named test organisms, highest fan speed and a 1,000-cubic-foot test chamber; it says the unit was not tested with SARS-CoV-2 and cautions that results vary with room and use conditions. That is narrower than a promise to prevent illness, remove all pathogens or replace ventilation. If particle filtration is your priority, compare the CADR and room cadence; do not buy the UV-C light as a medical safeguard.

Controls and recurring parts

The 11060 has four cleaning speeds, sensor-driven Auto, an on-unit PM2.5 display, a six-level color air-quality indicator, a screen lock, UV-C activation and three timer settings. The exact page does not list the timer durations. It documents adjustable display and air-quality brightness, but not a named Night mode or app control. Auto changes speed in response to the stated air-quality sensor; it does not mean remote control. Clorox says the included 12060 filter typically lasts six to twelve months and the included 12061 UV-C bulb twelve months, with life varying by use. Both create replacement tasks, and the archived page gives no replacement prices. Check that both parts are obtainable before choosing a used unit. The linked guide identifies model 11060/AP35 and a 50-watt electrical rating; the available product copy does not establish maximum noise.

Availability and alternatives

The manufacturer’s category still lists 11060, and its exact page identifies SKU 11060 and UPC 040094110605. The same page marks Web Availability “RUNOUT” and asks shoppers to sign up for a notice, while other embedded stock fields disagree. I therefore keep the model for identification and comparison, not as a current purchase recommendation. If you need an actively listed Clorox purifier with sensor Auto and a numeric display but do not need the UV-C stage, the 11010 is smaller and its page names replacement filter 12010. For a medium room, the 11030J uses a smaller body and lower CADR. Neither is a substitute for 11060’s room rating; size the room by its five-change figure rather than one-change headline.

Model 11060 fits a large, open household room only when its high-speed rating and footprint suit the actual space and you are willing to maintain both a filter and a UV-C bulb. It is a poor match if you want a light tabletop purifier, a documented maximum-noise figure, a clearly available current offer, or a disease-control promise. Those limits matter more than its broadest room-size claim.
