"I've had an IQAir Health Pro running non-stop for about 15 years now, and the only maintenance performed were regular filter changes."
"the only ones whose fans have stayed smooth and quiet. ... i have owned 8 over 5-6 years at least without one single issue."
"have had mine for years and run it 24x7"

"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."

"Most air filters only get down to 0.3 microns; these get down to 0.003 microns, which captures mold - which is my main concern - as well as viruses, bacteria, etc."

"If you are sensitive or worried about VOCs they’re the best on the market because of the size of their filters. ... I’m recovering from a toxic mold exposure and (at the time of purchase) they were one of the only filters that captured those particles effectively."

"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 only smaller air purifier I have is the $200 Conway in my kitchen. Its like a jet engine when on high speed. That's OK when I've burnt something. But there is no way people are running it at that noise level in general use."
"And it’s noisy as hell when I kick it up a notch."

"I literally just bought the Airmega 350 on Amazon and immediately regretted since I can't find the replacement filters for sale anywhere. ... Coway finally responded but wasn't helpful. They said they don't know when the filters for the 350 will be released."
"450 is round. New design. Not as good but more trendy. ... Higher claimed CADR. It is round so that number will go down rapidly. ... The VERY SHORT version, although ... there's a sticky ... is that round units are not inferior due to their shape. They're inferior because ALMOST WITHOUT EXCEPTION they have: * No removable pre-filter * Minimal Carbon, placed after the main filter * Deformable main filter * Smaller fans which have to spin faster to move more air therefore have a shorter lifespan * Shorter filter life leading to more costly replacement * Questionable filter efficiency, since it's difficult to manufacture a deformable HEPA filter. Levoit in particular claimed their filters were HEPA but they weren't at the time. They might be now, since they've started shipping them reinforced. * Instructions to VACUUM YOUR FILTERS, which pretty much means they're not HEPA. ... The airmega round units are, unfortunately, no exception."
"filter replacements can get pricey though ... filters are WAY overpriced considering you can get the machine with 2 filters for $120.."

"$70 duct taped cr box outperformed $1000 iqair."
"the filters can get expensive"
"The downside is the filters can be expensive if you have to replace all at once."
IQair is the best. Blueair are made in China and mostly emphasize on looks
r/AirPurifiers • Am I the only one who thinks that those Blueair air purifiers are not the best? ->I’ve had air purifiers around my reptiles for a few years and I’ve had no problems. Air purifiers just clean things from the air and make it cleaner so I don’t think there’s much risk for reptiles? I’d wait for other replies to see what other people have found. The ones I use are Honeywell and the HealthPro, given I use them for health reasons and not for my pets. But I’ve never had any problems
r/reptiles • Recommendations for Herp-Safe Air Purifiers ->I can clearly tell when my IQAIRs are running, I sleep so much better. You might already have good air quality Fixing your furnace filter and central filtration will make a bigger difference than buying an air purifier
r/BuyItForLife • I analyzed Reddit data for the 20 most recommended air purifiers (in the past year) ->I keep my IQAir on medium 24/7 and kick it up to the highest setting after housework or during weather advisories (smoke, wind, high particulate, etc). When I lived in the house I was exposed to toxic mold—after I found out about it, of course—I had several (different brand) purifiers on the highest setting 24/7, and though they looked like hell after switching out the filters about once a month, did an extremely good job with professional AQI tests in the interim before the landlord let me out of the lease.
r/ToxicMoldExposure • Do you keep your air purifier running? ->No idea about Merv 16 since I just buy what they have so I don’t have to think about anything, lol, but I use and travel with their car filter—bringing it into hotel rooms and letting it filter in different areas before going inside. Not sure how well it filters all the air in the room, but it’s a relatively small space, so I’m willing to take the chance since otherwise there would be no filtration. I am thinking about buying one of their large round models for the same reason since it would be easier to store at the side of the car instead of a bulky IQAir and would know the filtration would be on point. We actually have two IQAirs: one upstairs and one downstairs. The lower level is far larger than the second level, but they both seem to do a good job, especially on the highest setting (it does an incredible job filtering after-dinner “food smells” from the kitchen, too!).
r/ToxicMoldExposure • Do you keep your air purifier running? ->I run 3 filters, Austin and IQAIR, in each of 2 spaces - one 300 square feet the other 600 square feet. If the air is poor outside my Purple Air sensors will still show green. However there are so many chemicals in wildfire smoke, particularly if structures have burned, that they don't get everything. I am sensitive to terpenes and right now they don't help with the Camphor tree flowers. So they can greatly improve air quality but don't expect all VOCs to be removed from the air.
r/AirPurifiers • Purifiers making no difference to VOCs ->Yeah, this is mine as well. 10 year warranty, Swiss made. It’s the only place my family can be when the allergies get really bad.
r/BuyItForLife • The REAL best air purifier - I HATE DUST! ->Wow, I didn’t know!! Thank you for explaining that. Costco had a good deal for shark air purifier and I was considering it. I have one IQ Air but their customer service hasn’t been great and the machine is really bulky, old fashioned with a hefty price tag. I was attracted to cheaper options but I’d get what I paid for it sounds like.
r/AirPurifiers • Should I not get a Levoit? ->I have Austin Air and IQAir…both terrific. Expensive.
r/AirQuality • Best Air Purifier to Buy Now? ->I use mine mostly during wildfire season. Works better than any other units I tried in the past. Got mine directly from IQAir.
r/AirPurifiers • Is this overkill to buy for a small appartment? ->Thank you! I purchased a Austin Air and IQair purifier + Miele C3 vacuum cleaner + Mold cleaner for a full revamp. This may be the root cause of my illness which is terribly affecting my quality of life, going all out! Thanks again!
r/Mold • Could mold in my AC unit be causing migraines, fatigue, and brain fog? Looking for air purifier recommendations. ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
