Scientifically Tested & Certified: Alen Air Purifiers Stand Alone To Meet the Highest Air Quality Standards
'Not all air purifiers meet industry certification guidelines. Alen's air purifiers do,' said Alen CEO Warburg Lee. "Savvy consumers know us, and we're pleased that a new generation understands the importance of third-party validation to help make the best decision to ensure the well-being of their families, friends and customers.'
Alen's top industry certifications include:
Asthma & Allergy Friendly® Certification – Certified by Allergy Standards and the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. Alen's purifiers are independently tested against strict standards and proven to reduce airborne allergens, helping the more than 100 million people living in the U.S. affected by asthma and allergies annually to breathe clean air. "By removing 99.9% of airborne allergens—such as pollen, dust, and pet dander—Alen's purifiers help support a cleaner, healthier indoor environment."
Quiet Mark Certification – Alen's air purifiers are engineered to deliver ultra-quiet operation, earning recognition from Quiet Mark for providing powerful purification without disruptive noise. Since loud air purifiers are often turned off, this certification ensures Alen's models help maintain clean air while supporting a peaceful environment. Quiet Mark is awarded to the top 10% to 20% of the quietest products in each category.
ENERGY STAR® Certification – ENERGY STAR-certified room air purifiers use 25% less energy, on average, compared to standard models, leading to significant cost savings and reduced environmental impact. Most Alen purifiers operate using the equivalent energy of a lightbulb per day or less, with maximum wattages of 55W for the 75i, 50W for the 45i, and 40W for the 35i; however, because Alen owners rarely run their units continuously on the top fan speed, actual energy consumption can be significantly lower than these maximum values.
SleepScore Validated – Scientifically validated to improve sleep quality, Alen air purifiers create cleaner indoor air for a healthier and more restful sleep environment. SleepScore Labs studies show study participants who used Alen air purifiers experienced improved sleep quality, including falling asleep faster and waking up less frequently during the night. Alen purifiers help mask disruptive sounds, promoting deeper, uninterrupted sleep and enhancing overall sleep quality by utilizing pink noise.
Additionally, the TITAN Innovation Awards named Alen a Gold winner in the 2025 TITAN Innovation Awards, recognized in the Innovation in Technology and Consumer Technology category. The TITAN Innovation Awards received over 3,000 entries from more than 30 countries, reinforcing its reputation as a leading international competition for technology and design excellence. The award reflects Alen's strong commitment to advancing product innovation and technology.

KBRA Releases Research – CMBS Servicer Advances: Curtailments Accelerate
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KBRA releases research on the current trends in CMBS servicer advances, appraisal reductions, and nonrecoverable advances. The report examines some of the servicer advancing (SA), appraisal reduction amounts (ARA), and nonrecoverable advance (NRA) trends over the past three years through June 2025, which can provide a window into next year's trends. Servicer advancing is an important structural feature in CMBS transactions, given the illiquid nature of distressed commercial real estate (CRE) loans. With the increase in distressed CMBS loans over the past three years, the balance of loans with SA in CMBS 2.0 has risen to $55 billion (8.3% of outstanding CMBS balance), increasing 33% a year on average. Along with the growth in SA, the curtailment of advances in the form of ARA and NRA determinations have accelerated, especially over the past two years. SA curtailment is expected to expand, given the challenges the CRE markets still face as servicers seek to manage the risk of nonrecoverable advances and ensure there is sufficient room for property protection advances. For some transactions, this will have a meaningful impact on trust cash flows. Key Takeaways The balance of distressed CRE loans requiring SA has nearly doubled over the past three years to $54.8 billion (8.3% of total balance), while the number of such loans has increased 38.4%, to 1096 from 792. Loans with ARAs total $24.4 billion across 469 loans, representing just over 40% of distressed loans by both balance and loan count. Loans with NRAs total $10.4 billion across 254 loans, a figure that has grown more than tenfold in the past three years. The total amount of ARAs has grown more than 45% annually over the past two years, following a modest 4.1% increase between June 2022 and June 2023. Office (40.9%), retail (19.55%), and lodging (15.6%) loans represent the largest concentrations of distressed loans. However, lodging loans account for 29% of outstanding advances—just behind office (34%) and well ahead of retail (14.9%)—as the average distressed lodging loan has remained in special servicing for a longer period. Office loans also represent the highest share of ARAs (44.9%) and NRAs (39.5%) by loan balance, followed by retail at 25.9% and 20.1%, respectively. Analysis of the 25 conduits with the most SA outstanding shows a wide range of outstanding advances and varying levels of ARAs and NRAs—each of which is a key factor in assessing potential impacts on future deal cash flows. Among these top 25 transactions Outstanding advances range from 36.2% to 0.9% of the outstanding deal balance. The ratio of ARAs to distressed loan balance range from 8.3% to 100%. In some conduits, all distressed loans have NRAs, while others have none. An analysis of the 15 single-asset, single borrower transactions with the most SA outstanding reveals a pool consisting of mainly lodging (six), office (four), mixed-use (four), and one multifamily. All but two have ARAs ranging from 95.4% to 3.6%, while eight have NRA determinations. Click here to view the report.

2.3 Million PC Gaming Handhelds Will Be Sold in 2025, According to Omdia
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--New Omdia research reveals 2.3 million PC gaming handhelds, including the Steam Deck, will be sold globally in 2025. This will represent growth of 32% from 2024, when 1.7 million units were sold. Omdia forecasts 4.7 million PC handhelds will be sold annually by 2029. 'Windows 11 is currently poorly suited to handheld gaming, and devices are not delivering a generational leap in performance over the market leading Steam Deck,' commented James McWhirter, Senior Analyst covering games at Omdia. Share PC vendors continue to face challenges. 'Windows 11 is currently poorly suited to handheld gaming, and devices are not delivering a generational leap in performance over the market leading Steam Deck,' commented James McWhirter, Senior Analyst covering games at Omdia. However, 2025 is bringing progress on these fronts. 'Windows 11's upcoming refreshed gaming mode is expected to dramatically improve the user experience on PC gaming handhelds. This, coupled with the first Xbox-branded handhelds launching in late 2025, provide potential for devices to resonate with a broader audience beyond PC gaming enthusiasts,' added McWhirter. Microsoft is also investing to ensure PC vendors will eventually have access to semi-custom APUs to power their handhelds via its recent partnership with AMD – this will help provide a generational leap in performance. PC gaming handhelds coexist with PC gaming desktops and laptops as complementary devices, and a similar dynamic is observed with Sony's PlayStation Portal, another device covered in Omdia's Games Handhelds Database. Omdia finds PlayStation Portal surpassed a 3% attach rate to PlayStation 5 by the end of 2024. The arrival of the Nintendo Switch 2 in 2025 brought a new console cycle to the handhelds market, with Omdia forecasting over 20 million combined units of the Switch 2 and Switch sold globally in 2025. 'Nintendo continues to follow the traditional console model with the Switch 2 – compelling exclusive blockbuster content marketed in tandem with the hardware. But it will not reach the heights achieved by the original Switch,' added McWhirter. 'Switch's unique selling point of high-quality gaming on the go has now been commoditized. Switch 2's upgrade cycle is therefore an opportunity for competing platform holders and vendors to encourage the Switch audience to consider their handhelds instead.' Omdia's Games Handhelds Database covers the full breadth of the handhelds market, forecasting hardware sales volume, value, and installed base through to 2029 across key territories. Devices covered include PlayStation Portal, Valve Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, Asus ROG Ally, Lenovo Legion Go, MSI Claw, Panic Playdate, and more.
