AirFanta - AirFanta 3Pro

AirFanta 3pro $150 Amazon or $160 for a California one. It has 4 hepa filters, one on each side and uses pc fans with a variable fan speed dial. I bought 2

Yeah, as others are pointing out the pandemic is far from over. Air purifiers are a great idea. We have them in every room of the house. Get them to cover double the sq ft than the room you’ll use it in so that you can get the same coverage on lower settings. The Levoit Core series is good, has a small footprint and is pretty affordable. I’ve sent these to family. Shout out for the [Air Fanta 3Pro](https://air-fanta.com/collections/all) because it folds down and is portable for travel. [Clean Air Kits](https://www.cleanairkits.com/collections/shop-all) are also awesome. I just got the [Exhalaron](https://www.cleanairkits.com/products/exhalaron) to use for doctors appointments etc.

I have a PureZone mini that I take to doctor and dentist appointments. I just got an Air Fanta 3 Pro for my room for the rare occasion I have to travel. Edit: Why the downvotes? Are these not good? Is it because I got the AFP3 to occasionally travel? I’m a 4.5 year long hauler. I don’t get to do much but when I do I try to be as safe as possible. Whatever the case, I’d appreciate knowing more instead.

Seconding the recommendation for the Air Fanta 3 Pro! I love mine. Quiet, efficient, cheaper price, and best of all, it folds up so it’s easy to transport when you’re going to other places! Best bang for your buck. Read the House Fresh review.

Cat allergy person here as well as fragrances (which I don't have to worry about at home). IQ Air in bedroom (expensive and expensive filters and is good). In experience one would be AirFanta Pro3. You may want to consider getting the carbon filters for it and read up. Beside my bed have the Medify 15 so that'll helped a lot...a room one and a small bedside one for the bedroom.

I have no idea why it would be called a scam. Adam Wong, the engineer regularly posts on X and there have been many positive reviews. I have both the AirFanta 3pro which has excellent CADR. At full blast it might be a bit noisier but I lent mine to a friend visiting and staying at a hotel and they liked the white noise and subsequently bought one. I have both the regular and the carbon filters (they can't be bought like a furnace type Corsi-Rosenthal). The Airfanta 4 lite is the personal laminal air purifier but it purifies just at your face and is not considered a room cleaner so you won't find a CADR for it. Some airlines allow them and some don't. Personally if I was traveling I'd bring an AirFanta 3pro as it's collapsible and has a better CADR than the Levoit.

The AirFanta 3 Pro. Get the one with carbon filters. It's a powerful device and should be able to clean the air fairly quickly since your room is small.

About how large is your office? My first thought was AirFanta 3Pro with the carbon filter. It's over your $200 but not by a wild amount. The Winix 5500-2 is another option. I'm not sure how strong the fumes are but either of the two devices will help. Neither have a ton of carbon if the fumes are super strong but it will help. The AirFanta will give you more air filtering per hour if your office is small, depending on the speed you set it on.

You gotta up the budget if you want a pre assembled device. The best budget pick is the AirFanta 3Pro with carbon filters. I know it's not the most attractive device but it performs incredibly well for the price. If you ran it at its highest fan speed it can provide close to 5 air changes in 680 square feet https://housefresh.com/airfanta-3pro-review/

How big is the space? The best bang for your buck is the AirFanta 3 Pro. It's not the most aesthetic machine but it purifies around 500 square feet with about 4-5 air changes an hour. If you think your cat would jump or scratch at it, it may be worth getting the Winix 5500-2. It purifies a smaller area- 300 square feet or so.

Depends on the size of the room and how fast you're expecting to clear the smell. It works well for my living room for 420 but I ended up getting an AirFanta 3Pro with carbon filters to help out because of the size and layout of my space. I could clear my living room and hallway faster with the AirFanta alone.

AirFanta 3Pro. It's not the most aesthetic machine but it has great specs. Rated for a room around 500 square feet. They have a version with a carbon filter. I've been testing it and it cleans the smell faster than my Winix. To be expected with a higher CADR. The Winix will help a lot if you're in a smaller room, like 275 sq ft max

Levoit Core 600s if odors aren't a huge consideration. AirFanta 3Pro isn't the most aesthetic device but it covers a large area (650 sq ft) for a very reasonable price. Coway Airmega 400 is a good device. I would wait for a sale. Smart Air Blast Mini or MKII if you have a large budget and don't need to move the devices often.

Thank you for the clarification. I agree with what you said. And we are shipping some 3Pro with carbon filters in it.

We are working on a better aesthetics model, and with PM sensor, screen and APP.

>It's a giant CR box Having used both, the 3Pro is definitely not "giant." It's a 1 foot cube. >with all the CR box problems IMO the biggest problem with CR boxes is the noise, and the 3Pro is a lot better than a CR box on that front. >High replacement filter costs The first-party replacements are similar to the Winix, no? But yes, with a current lack of 3rd-party filters it is a bit more expensive than alternatives, for people who are willing to use non-OEM filters. >no HEPA (the filters are EPA11 at best) This from coming the person who (very correctly IMO) is always pointing out that CADR is a better metric than interception efficiency. Adam Wong did the math and determined that (for the PC fans used) an E11 filter delivers the highest possible CADR. https://twitter.com/Engineer_Wong/status/1769965319945347394 >No carbon filter, so no smell reduction. Add-on carbon filters get pricey Personally I like separating particle and VOC filtering, since you tend to be able to do better then trying to find one unit that does everything. Also odd to say it has no carbon and then flip and talk about the carbon filter. But I do agree, it would be nice if you could order it with the carbon filter as standard. Pinging Adam Wong (/u/Sad_Gear4867), are you listening?? Anyway, I really do appreciate the excellent work UncleGurm does (in this thread and elsewhere) to educate people about air filters, but I confess I don't understand this grudge against Airfanta.

What is “portable”? That can mean a lot of different things. By far the best bang for your buck in a small footprint purifier is the AirFanta 3. Otherwise, just get the largest Levoit model you think you can get away with. They are not technically HEPA, but they still perform well and some are small enough to fit on a desk or table. You could also get the SmartAir QT3 if the other choices don’t look portable enough.

The AirFanta uses HEPA filters. From the Amazon listing: “HEPA FILTERS: The device features four filter panels with a total of 43 square feet of HEPA filtration. These filters offer a high filtration efficiency of 99.5% for particles as small as 1 micron and 95% for particles of 0.3 micron, while maintaining a low pressure drop. This ensures exceptional Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) performance. This model equips with HEPA and doesn't contain carbon. If you are looking for carbon to absorb odor or VOCs, we have the model equipped with HEPA + Carbon filters, which can be found in our store” The engineer/developer is very active in the community. No reason to doubt the integrity of his product. Levoit purifiers are the ones that use the non-HEPA filters, but they still perform very well.

I just purchased the air Fanta 3. If you want some really helpful reviews check out [house fresh](https://www.housefresh.com). Here is the review for [Air Fanta Pro 3](https://housefresh.com/airfanta-3pro-review/) that I recommended and purchased.

You’re looking for 5-6 air changes per hour to really be effective. For a small air purifier, it means having it on pretty high unfortunately which can be noisy. You’re better off getting a large one and keeping on low or medium if noise is a factor or get multiple smaller ones. The Airfanta 3 Pro is also a good option because it has high performance and it’s not terribly noisy unless you crank it to max. It does not come with carbon filters standard.

Had a Winix C545, the bearings went bad recently so I replaced with an Airfanta 3 Pro.

Best value for max CADR? AirFanta 3PRO $150 USD - adjustable speed, travels well, newer version can be used with power bank. Slight whine noise at highest speed. Want nicer looking/no whine? North Box or Clean Air Kits Standard unit, purchase off Amazon? Lago, hands down. I've bought 8? for various family members. I've bought air filters for ages due to allergies, and the only thing it doesn't do better than the Austin Air I have is clean smoke/odors. But I also bought 6 Lagos for the price of the last Austin Air replacement filter I got.

Not true. For high pollution you want higher CADR, so even a CR box made with furnace filters would work well. H11 (E11) is actually the sweet spot for high CADR, that’s why the AirFanta 3pro uses them, as does the Clean Air Kits Exhalaron (neither available in India, however).

I get that some people think HEPA is the only option, but for home air purification we know that merv13 and above are totally fine. Lower efficiency filtration has definite advantages over HEPA in the home (less noise and more flow for ex). Edited for clarity

It is loud at full speed. But half speed is not loud and moving ~250 CFM. In other words, quieter and more air cleaning than other air filters even at half speed.

You are right they are h11. But I think in the USA this may be referred to as e11 (95% efficient). TBH imo what matters is CADR and this thing kicks as in that regard.

Like all CR designs, the air flow is good because it has 4 filters. More filter material = less resistance and higher air flow. Also, the higher the efficiency does not always equal less air flow, for example Filtrete MPR1900 has lower pressure drop than lower mpr filters. As an actual owner of this filter imo it’s a great deal for the price.

Honestly IMO it’s good that people come in here and carry on about filters like this as objectively they do a better job cleaning the air of particulate than most (all?) similarly priced alternatives. For me this is a no brainer over lower CADR units available. YMMV. That I can pack it for travel is another big bonus. Regarding the cost Where I live I can’t build a diy pc fan purifier for cheaper than Air Fanta. Where I live the replacement filters cost within a few dollars of Filtrete MPR1900 ie the cost is not expensive. Again YMMV. You make a reference to drama around the brand. If there’s something serious that happened then please disclose this as I will stop posting my positive personal experience. Cause like Levoit which I also own, I will never recommend them given their problematic history. I don’t know about the past drama, wasn’t around for that

I’m a big fan of AirFanta 3Pro. It’s easy to put together, is very effective, lightweight, and you can collapse it down and pack it away if you save the box.

Hello. I know I am late to this post...however, I bought four of these for my home after being highly recommended in a different group. Everyone here is saying they are not True HEPA filters, however, on the Technical Details page of the product on Amazon, it says "True HEPA H11." I don't know much about these things... Is this not a HEPA filter? Can someone please explain? I'm not sure what "H11" means? I'm immune compromised and these seemed affordable and capable of 6 air exchanges for our small rooms. Now I'm very nervous these are no good. Advice? What is "H11?" It does say "True HEPA," I'm not sure if H11 makes it a lower quality? Thank you so very much. I appreciate you all.

Thank you very much for the kindness of your time. I’m still confused as True HEPA can be 10 to 15 correct? Or a bit higher for hospitals etc, meaning higher than 13. Why do the specs say True Hepa 11? Do you know? The replacement filters say it too. Thank you so much again.

the highest dollar per CADR I think is the Airfanta 3pro, but its a bit more finicky than a plug and play, and I don't know if it does smell very well. Between the two you have there, I'd go with the Winix.

that is true. I don't know how well they compare against the 5500-2, and one of selling points of the 5500-2 is that the carbon filter is separate (and apparently washable?) where as on the airfanta its bound to the filtration medium. But also it would raise the cost well over 150, where as just the airfanta 3pro itself is under 160 with the standard filter set.

The air Fanta can break down easily and you shouldn't have an issue taking onto a plane with carry on, I'm not sure if you'd be able to bring a commercial plastic levoit the same way but checked bag would be fine then. Some people here months ago were saying the air Fanta is a scam and is only shilled for here but it felt like actual reviews from real people when I was discovering it and from my personal experience using it I've found it nice and portable especially since it can run on a USB c power bank and adapter for lower voltage.

AirFanta 3Pro for sure. Highest CADR per dollar of all the PC fan air purifiers, and it’s not even close. The non PC fan purifiers use way more electricity, too.
