AllerAir - AirMedic Pro 6 HD

Its a great machine! I love mine.

I got the Allerair AirMedic Pro 6 HD for under $800 I think, and it's amazing. I share a wall with a nail salon on the fumes were so strong. It's been a life saver.

I did a lot of research, and agonized before I bought it. I wasn't sure that anything would work. So after looking in this forum, I searched the net until I found a filter with the highest pounds of carbon, figuring that would be my best bet. The model I chose had really good reviews, and the air purifier store had a really good price. I ordered the best one that they had. I emailed them after the order and asked about shipping, explained that I had a nail fume problem and I was anxious to get the unit . They responded right away and actually helped me pick out a different unit that was much less expensive, that would do exactly what I needed it to do. So glad I got it, and I can't say enough about the company I ordered it from.

Absolutely nothing. It's heaven!

I just got the AllerAir air medic pro 6 HD and it made a HUGE difference in less than 48 hours. I have MCS and other major health issues and my symptoms improved immensely. This was under $800 on sale at the air purifier store. 26 lbs of carbon. The IQ air has significantly less carbon for odors etc

I have has about 8 diff brands over the years and this one FINALLY helped. It's not cheap but I'd happily pay for something that works versus cheaper and it doesn't work. The filters are pricey fyi. All the good machines have pricey filters since 26 lbs of carbon is $$

Hi all! I recently bought the AllerAir pro 6 HD based on a recommendation in this group. It's the first purifier that has removed the odor in my home. For 8 years we had had a mystery odor w no root cause despite lots of testing. I have MCS and EXTREMELY sensitive to smells. Brands I have tried that did NOTHING for my health/symptoms/odor: 1. Air pura x 2 (whole house HVAC system and standalone unit) 2. Lower end model air doctor x1 3. Austin air small bedroom unit x1 4. Intellipure x4 5. medify x1 6. Oransi carbon x1 This is by far the best I have used. Hands down. My new thought is I will not spend a penny replacing filters on most of the useless machines that have almost no carbon and worthless. I would rather spend $700 upfront (with costly filters) on something that works than $200-$400 upfront on complete crap (for odors). Many purifiers advertise odor elimination and I fell for it. I ain't falling for it again. 25+ lbs of carbon works. A half pound is garbage. Everyone and everyone's home is different, but I wanted to share something I finally found that WORKS!

It beat out all the others bc it was the only one where my symptoms decreased and odor was eliminated. Oransi only has 3 lbs of carbon which isn't sufficient for me. Austin only has 7-8. Air pura has 18 I think. It didn't help the odor tho. I'm just sharing my experience and stated above everyone is different. What works for one may not for others. Oh, and I def wasn't comparing to the cheap ones. Just wanted to list things I have tried which still claim to remove odors (they obviously don't)! Intellipure website claims this: "VOCs, gone First, the Intellipure pre-filter gathers volatile organic compounds (VOCs), a.k.a. harmful chemicals, from the air."

Great to hear! I didn't get the vocarb I got the exec. Do you know how the filters differ?

I have the same one. I love it. Now I need a mattress for mcs that doesn’t smell like a barnyard. What do you have?

Mine is out of reach for most people, but im about to have 3u3 in the middle of wildfire season, so i had to invest in what actually works on the smoke. Allerair Airmedic Pro 6. They are *very* expensive. But wildfire smoke requires at minimum 20lbs of carbon. Mine has 34lbs. For a normal, everyday animal hair/allergens model, Oransi Airmend is great.

If you want a real deal, Holyfield airpurifier, Allerair is the way to go. I have a 28lb carbon purifier from them because of the wildfire smoke season in our area. They do make small units, and I can guarantee you that they work 100× better than anything you'll buy in stores or on Amazon.

Most home-grade pufifiers are geared towards removing particulates. Such purifiers don't remove odors unless they are specialized units with large carbon canisters. The ones you are considering will move the odors around, and this may help dissipate it (just as any fan would), but they do not contain nearly enough carbon to remove odors. While these products claim to remove odors, these claims are, at best, *heavily* inflated. An example of a unit that will remove odors (and volatile organic compounds, in general) is the AllerAir AirMedic 6 with a 40lb carbon canister filter. This is a large, expensive, loud unit, that uses a lot of electricity, as is the case with all purifiers that can effectively remove odors (as they have to move air through a deep carbon bed, which requires a powerful motor to do so).

AllerAir. They come at a variety of sizes and price points but all have the same basic design. Even their smaller model does a good job. They can be pricey and it's an investment. They do not make pretty, electronic units with digital readouts or app connections. This is a metal housing (painted white) with a very large, heavy filter inside, and a motor with a mechanical fully adjustable rotating speed dial. I've had good luck with longevity of the filters and I am still on my original filter after a few years. The large, heavy filters take care of some toxic gases as well as your typical everyday allergens, dust, and pollutants. It's a different breed of filter than you get from Winix and Coway and the others who make units with HEPA filters. Their major competitor is Austin Air. The disadvantage of Austin Air is their motor only has three speeds and the medium and high speeds are loud. I had terrible luck with Austin Air filters not lasting long.

For best VOC removal, such as mycotoxins, you need a lot of absorbent media. Checkout Airpura, Allerair, Austin, IQAir. All are in the $1k range. I'm unsure whether any filter will eliminate mold sensitivities. Did see an improvement when upgraded my Austins with Immunity Machine filters but molds still aren't totally controlled. There are clinics which can treat mycotoxin sensitivities. Can be quite expensive.

Allerair is excellent as well and cheaper than many if not all of the others with as good or equal in build and performance.  

I have a couple allerair I have been happy with. They have some of the largest carbon filters, work great for smoke and pet odors. I have one in a bedroom with a cat box. If the cat uses it at night the smell is gone in minutes. Allerair, airpura, Austin air are similar units. Metal cabinet, a switch, a fan and a filter. Very little to go wrong.

Check out Allerair they have models with large carbon filters specifically for wild fire smoke. I believe they are also made in Canada. Airpura is another similar one not cheap but I’m happy with the ones I have. I’m in Wisconsin and we have gotten a lot of smoke this year and don’t smell anything inside.

AirOasis is really good. It's one of the few purifiers that I have felt a noticeable difference in the air, despite trying almost every brand on the market now. I've been very impressed with their customer service also. If you're in a high VOC environment, you need a purifier with a very thick carbon bed in the filter like some Austin, AllerAir, and Airpura models do. I have an AllerAir in addition to the AirOasis unit for this reason.
