"The IQAir takes out 99.5% of ultrafine particles, viruses, etc. down to 0.003 microns. ... But for particulates, viruses, etc, these units are amazing."
"IQ Air Health Plus Pro fun video to watch. It filters up to 100x smaller microns, (I believe .003 microns) than standard HEPA purifiers, which is in the Gases territory. ... What we should be worried is about all the chemicals in the air. Majority of homes are old and a lot of them still have potentially lead paints that release toxins in the air. Asbestos, styrene, formaldehyde, crude oil byproducts, plastic fumes, lead, iridium, uranium, etc."
"in 1 day I went from a sore throat to clear breathing. ... The hyper hepa filter seems to really clear the air of small particles."

"the medify one sounds horrible- it has a weird high pitch and i can’t stand it even on the very lowest setting. ... i actually sent it back and they replaced it and the second one sounds the same."
"the decibels was 30% higher than the max advertised and way too loud to operate at full speed. ... it has to run at a much lower speed to be able to even be in the same room ... they told me to run it at low speed. ... The “sound” was me telling them it’s Running 80db instead of 40-60 as advertised"
"It is very loud. ... Runs 39-60 db, so not too loud for babies ears. But we also dont hang out close by it."

Austin Air is the only company I trust. Their purifiers have been used in studies conducted by Johns Hopkins and Cincinnati Pediatrics Hospital (the 2 notable) which is a testimony to their effectiveness. AustinAir products are amongst the best of the best. With the title of being the best comes with the price tag. These are the most expensive air purifiers I have ever come across; but it is 'American Made' and their filters have a 5 year warranty. But it is absolutely not for one looking for budget friendly or anything related to cost friendly. All that being said-- they are a top tier, studied in highly regarded medical institutions as proven and effective air purifiers, look sleek with their box frame on wheels, 3 simple settings. It's what I use for my parents and grandparents(and myself)- can't put a price tag on good health and I know everyone sleeps better with cleaner air. I've gotten them for multiple family members and some have even bought one for their office at work! If you are looking for elite products, search no more, but as I mentioned a few times it is costly. In my opinion, worth every penny. P.S. they have a model for animal owners who deal with shedding as you mentioned. I want to say all of their models contain the military grade HEPA filters in their 6 layer defense, but perhaps the type of filters differs per model so definitely double check whats inside! If you are interested link is below. [https://austinair.com/](https://austinair.com/) \-- My workplace doesn't allow me to bring my personal purifier and has 'Levoit 300 Core' in nearly every room. I believe they are a 6 month(we are constantly replacing ours, at the 5month mark). life filter and I do believe they work quite well. Never any foul odors on our floor or even the kitchen and eating area. Heres the link for what we use where I work and they are surprisingly budget friendly, but still include a quite powerful filter. Link for that is below: [https://levoit.com/products/core300-air-purifier](https://levoit.com/products/core300-air-purifier) So I do think there are alternatives to the elite Austin Air I went with for my home and family. Good luck in your search!
r/BuyItForLife • What are the Best Air Purifier in 2025? ->I love my Austin Air bedroom machine. It's pretty expensive though, I think $800 or $900 now. But it also absorbs VOC's which is great for me since I'm chemically sensitive. Most air purifiers don't do much for offgassing.
r/Masks4All • When it comes to the best air purifier for home, which options do you think of currently? ->Austin Air sells them directly and ships: [https://austinair.com/](https://austinair.com/)
r/Masks4All • When it comes to the best air purifier for home, which options do you think of currently? ->I have the Coway Airmega and an Austin bedroom machine, and they seem to be equally good. The Austin cost significantly more.
r/Allergies • Whats the best hepa filter air purifier? ->Same experience and we also use the same model. The filters can last 5 years which does make the initial cost considerably better.
r/AirQuality • What’s the Best Air Purifier to Buy Right Now? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 ->I personally use Austin Air. I like the chunk filters they use that last a very long time. Think like 5 years between replacements. I also have a 5 inch thick HVAC filter that I run MERV 13 filters on. The pressure drop on a 5 inch filter is minimal as long as you replace them every 6 months to a year.
r/AirQuality • Best Air Purifier to Buy Now? ->I have a couple of models: Immunity Machine, Healthmate Plus, bedroom machine. There have been some reviews stating that Austins are slower at clearing a room of particulates. My main concern is VOCs and since I run 3-4 filters in each room that isn't a concern for me. Am now testing the immunity machine. Seems to do a much better job with VOCs, although final results will take a while. What is your concern with IQAair?
r/AirPurifiers • What is best air filter/purifier to reduce VOCs / endocrine disrupters? ->I have 3 of these because I have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome & they have helped so much.
r/BuyItForLife • The REAL best air purifier - I HATE DUST! ->IQAir and Austin Air are the go-to “buy it for life” purifiers. They really have long-lasting filters and proven performance on my end
r/BuyItForLife • Looking for a high-quality air purifier that's built to last. ->Austin Air is what I use in my home now. I own a. Filtration business, and I've tried about 9 different types in my own home over the past 3 years - this is far and away my favorite. The second best would be the BlueAir systems.
r/BuyItForLife • The REAL best air purifier - I HATE DUST! ->Austin air. You won’t find a better air purifier. They make surgical room purifiers. This is their consumer versions. Even removes Covid from the air.
