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?

I use AirMedic Pro 5 Air Purifier. 14LBS of carbon. Commercial grade fan that should last forever. Made of metal. Anything with a thin carbon sheet isn’t doing crap. Pro 14LBS Pro plus 18lbs Pro hd 23lbs Pro ultra 28lbs

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.

All of the conventional options recommended won’t cut it if you’re being serious. I have a few coway airmegas and blueairs and they don’t do much for real VOCs/smoke. You need a lot of carbon for that. My airmega has like 1lb of carbon, I’d recommend an allerair- I’ve got two airmedic 6 pro and the difference is remarkable. I think they have 25+ lbs of carbon. Very simple design, no bells and whistles, but very effective.

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.

Always remember to do your research, as the research confirms anything plastic off-gases, so its no good. Make sure the air purifier has a metal body (safest material), then dont fall for paper-thin carbon sprayed filters. The right air purifier will have pounds of carbon for odor, chemicals and VOCs. And finally it must have a Medical-grade HEPA filter for all the particles and dust. Only then it is a good enough air purifier and you will notice a difference. I have a few of the allerair units, have had them for years and works well for my whole home :)

Yeah, totally get what you mean. A lot of the "smart" purifiers out there do a decent job with particles like dust or smoke, but they kinda drop the ball when it comes to odors—especially the rough ones from litter boxes. VOCs and ammonia just don’t get picked up by most of those sensors. Check out **AllerAir** units. They don’t have fancy detection features, but their carbon filters are legit. Like, super thick, industrial-strength carbon that’s made specifically to handle stuff like VOCs and pet odors. I’ve had good luck with them cutting down litter box smells fast—even without any auto-detect stuff. Not the flashiest purifiers, but if you're really after odor control, they’re hard to beat.

I’m in Canada and unfortunately, wildfires have become part of life every summer. Last year was especially bad — the sky was orange for days, and even staying indoors didn’t help much. The smoke and smell would still find a way in, especially through my swamp cooler. I started waking up with headaches, a sore throat, and just feeling gross all the time. I tried a couple of those cheaper air purifiers from Amazon — the ones that say “HEPA” and “carbon filter” — but they honestly didn’t make a difference. The rooms still smelled like smoke, and I could still see dust floating around in the sunlight. Eventually, I bit the bullet and bought an AllerAir. It wasn’t cheap, but I was desperate. What really convinced me was how thick the carbon filter is... it’s like a solid chunk, not just a thin sheet. I didn't realize how important that was until I actually used it. Within a day or two of running it nonstop, the air in my room felt totally different. No more smoke smell, my throat felt better, and I wasn’t waking up with that weird heaviness in my chest. Now it’s basically my go-to as soon as wildfire season starts creeping in. It’s bulky and kind of industrial-looking compared to the sleek little ones online, but it actually works — which I guess is the point. I just wish I had bought it sooner instead of wasting money on cheaper units that couldn’t handle real smoke. Atmos C is also a decent brand, I have one of their units as well and it has been serving quite nicely over the last few years. Never had an issue with it! I hope this helps!

Allerair air purifiers are fantastic. Would strongly recommend. And they are local, so no tariffs!

Funny coincidence,,, I actually have an allerair unit running at home (we got it for smoke and allergens), and then my wife noticed the exact same brand being used at the salon she goes to. She said the air in there always feels super clean, even with all the hair dye, sprays, and product use going on all day. The salon’s around the same size as yours and also doesn’t have windows that open, and apparently it made a huge difference. What’s great about AllerAir is they’re specifically designed for stuff like chemicals and VOCs. not just dust and particles. They use deep carbon filters, no off-gassing, no plasticky smell, and they’re actually made in North America. If you’re looking for something that can really handle salon air, I’d definitely check them out. Cheers!

Most common air purifier brands do not have enough nor the right type of sorbent media for gases, vapors, or odors. Sorbent media in air purification = activated carbon, activated alumina, or synthetic zeolites. Heavyweight sorbent media purifiers are very expensive, very loud, and clean the air more slowly than particulates-focused units. This is due to the need for ["dwell time"/"residence time"](https://www.airscience.com/carbon-filters) and the thick media beds. The two major heavyweight brands in the USA & Canada are **Airpura** or **AllerAir**. You want to look for models with 15 lbs.+ carbon canisters. Most standard options for these purifiers are plain/chemically untreated sorbents, which do *not* have high removal capacities for all gaseous "species". This sometimes presents problems where an odor emanates from the sorbent bed (possibly the not-well-adsorbed acetaldehyde) or there's a spike on tVOC monitors despite a reduction in odors. Assuming you don't live near a refinery or have really bad air chemistry otherwise (e.g., from fires), you may want to look into potassium permanganate (KMnO₄) impregnated activated carbon from Airpura or AllerAir. You'd have to contact the respective company first to specify this. KMnO₄ works in part via redox (reduction oxidation) reactions by breaking down certain gases. This can be problematic in unknown and/or highly complex air chemistries where resulting gases may be problematic. It can also off gas as it saturates or loses efficacy.

+3 for the AllerAir, I have 3 of them in my home (overkill along with hepa+UV in the furnace) but I love having localized air production for specific living areas. There are zero pollution or smoke smells (I live in smelting and forest fire area) and no cooking or other smells.
