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 $799.
