Sharp air purifiers - Plasmacluster air purifiers humidifying function
The new Sharp air purifiers employ a unique combination of three technologies to quietly and efficiently clean and refresh the air in a home. Using a triple filtration system, Sharp proprietary patented Plasmacluster technology and a humidification function, the KC-C100U and KC-C150U air purifiers can trap dust, pollen, mold spores and pet dander, decrease odors, and freshen and humidify the air. The Sharp air purifier triple filtration system includes a permanent washable pre-filter that traps dust and other large airborne particles, a washable active carbon filter that absorbs common household odors, and a True HEPA filter with antimicrobial coating that traps 99.97 percent of particles as small as 0.3 microns that pass through the filter, including pollen, smoke, dust, dust mites, dander and mold spores. The active carbon and True HEPA filters need to be replaced only every five years with average use and yearly for as many other air purifiers require, making these Sharp purifiers easy and inexpensive to maintain. The Plasmacluster technology simulates the way nature cleans the environment after a thunderstorm or near waterfalls. It turns water molecules into positively and negatively charged ions spreading them throughout the room and surrounding airborne particles, resulting in the healthier and better smelling air. These air purifiers are very quiet and ideal for bedrooms and living rooms making barely 17 decibels in Silent Mode, which is no more than sound volume of rustling leaves. Easy to operate, energy efficient and elegantly designed, these Sharp air purifiers are a smart solution for cleaner, healthier and more breathable air. The KC-C100U is suited for a study, bedroom or home office of up to 254 square feet, while the KC-C150U is powerful enough for a living room or family room with up to 347 square feet. The prices are $400 and $500 respectively. Sharp.

Best air purifier - IQAir HealthPro air purifiers
If you are looking for the best air purifier available, then the IQAir HealthPro Plus air purifier is the one you want. IQAir air purifiers, and particularly the residential HealthPro models, are considered by many experts as the best air purifiers all around, especially for those with severe allergies. The best selling air purifier, IQAir HealthPro Plus air purifier just received Consumers Digest prestigious Best Buy award, and was named the top product in the premium selection category.
HealthPro Plus multi-filtration system contains IQAir exclusive V5-Cell gas and odor filter. Many consumers are concerned with chemical vapors from household cleaners and other odors in their homes, but most air purifiers contain little or nothing to filter these irritants. The HealthPro Plus V5-Cell filtration offers the most powerful gas and chemical filtration available in a residential air purifier.
The HealthPro Plus combines 4 advanced filtration technologies. Micro-particle filtration effectively removes a large variety of particulate and molecular air pollutants, including virtually everything - mold spore, pet dander, house dust mite allergen, pollen, and general indoor air pollution, already making it the best air purifier on the market. Due to its wide effectiveness range, this purifier is equally well suited for health conscious individuals as for those suffering from a range of respiratory ailments. Granular activated carbon adsorption removes volatile organic compounds or VOC, which are responsible for pet, cooking and other odors. Pelletized chemisorption destroys harmful chemicals, like formaldehyde, by an oxidation process inside a chemically active alumina pellet. Finally, the HealthPro Plus features IQAir patented HyperHEPA filtration. While most air purifiers are only designed to filter large dust particles, those of 0.3 microns and larger, the HyperHEPA technology filters down to incredible 0.003 microns, smaller than a virus, with a guaranteed minimum efficiency of over 99.5%. IQAir HyperHEPA filtration has made the HealthPro Plus a true king among the princes, the best air purifiers around, and the top choice in hospitals around the world to remove airborne particulate such as the SARS virus, MRSA, and tuberculosis.
The HealthPro Plus features a HiFlow gas filter element with 6 lbs of activated carbon with activated alumina w-potassium permanganate to reduce odors and gases. It covers up to 900 sq ft and comes with remote control. The 6-speed motor has airflow range between 40 and 260 cfm. The noise level varies from 43.5 to 72 dBA. Programmable timer status, filter life, fan speed indicators. IQAir offers its best air purifier in three more models - HealthPro Compact Plus, HealthPro and HealthPro Compact. The HealthPro models don't have HiFlow gas filter element, while HealthPro Compact Plus has 2 lbs of activated carbon instead of 6. The price for the IQAir HealthPro Plus air purifier is $795 including wheels, which is between $100 and $150 higher than other three models. In my opinion, it is a small premium to pay for the complete, best air purifier on the market. The HealthPro can be upgraded to HealthPro Plus however.
There are several other, more expensive air purifier models made by IQAir which are also the best among competing air purifiers.
The GC MultiGas air purifiers are designed for wide spectrum molecular and particulate contaminant control. The best seller among consumers with multiple chemical sensitivity and offered in 4 variations, the IQAir GC Series air purifier models each contains four high capacity gas filter cartridges that provides a specific type of gas, chemical, or VOC control - GC VOC for control of volatile organic compounds, solvents, GC MultiGas for control of wide range of gaseous organic and inorganic chemicals, GC Chemisorber for for control of formaldehyde, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide and GC AM for control of ammonia and ammonia compounds. The prices start at $995.
