Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of IQAir HealthPro Air Purifier
Customer Review: Great for Pet Allergies
Summary: 5 Stars
The IQAir HealthPro is highly effective at eliminating all sorts of airborn allergens, and particularly cat dander. I've owned and operated one for 18 months now, and to-date I am very pleased with it's performance. When I was shopping around for an air purifier, I quickly learned that only purifiers with a "HEPA" filter will be effective at eliminating Pet Dander. Because of that, I focused in on the IQAir line and the Blueair line of single-room purifiers. The Blueair comes with a lower sticker price, but I opted to instead go with the IQAir for a number of reasons:
1) The IQAir Healthpro, at it's highest setting, was able to pull in and filter more air at a faster rate than a "large" BlueAir model. My house has a very open floor plan, so this was useful to me.
2) The IQAir has a "prefilter" that helps filter out larger pollutants before they reach the HEPA filter. The BlueAir does not. As a result, the IQAir's HEPA filter is rated to last something like 1.5-3 years, but the BlueAir was considerably less (going from memory, I believe it was like 6 months). HEPA filters are considerably more expensive to replace than prefilters, so their should be financial savings in paying to replace less-expensive IQAir prefilters more often and HEPA filters less often.
3) I came across a study that showed that the IQ Air is sealed tightly enough and was confirmed via testing that there was zero leakage through the system. In other words, all air that is sucked in is filtered. The BlueAir tested also did quite well, but not 100% well. Many cheap $99 target brands did misearbly.
When your IQAir comes in the mail, you will receive a hand-written performance checklist of how your individual unit tested prior to shipment. It will say what the baseline value is in order to pass, and then someone will have hand-written in how your unit performed in testing. IQAir is thorough, and they take this stuff seriously. This isn't a toy, designed to give the owner "peace of mind". This device will take allergens out before you breath them in.
After 18 months of ownership, I can't speak to the effectiveness of a BlueAir, but I can say I'm very pleased with the performance of this system. I am allergic to pet dander, and have lived with a cat for 18 months now (it was the motivation for my purchasing of this unit, as I have always been very allergic to cats, so in order to bring one into my home I new I needed help) with relatively no problems because of this air purifier. It does what it claims to do. Also, I want to mention that changing out old filters for new ones is a breeze with this system. Green-yellow-red indicator lights let you know that it's time to buy a replacement filter well before the filter becomes ineffective, which is also nice.
Also, I want to take a moment and address the negative reviews shown for this product. I believe they are misplaced. The "odor" that they are complaining about was most likely caused by the "V5-Cell" 2nd stage filter found in the IQAir HealthPro Plus model. This V5-Cell is designed to remove harmful chemicals and odors from the air for those that are sensitive to such things, but the website does claim that it may give off an odor of it's own that some may notice. I have no experience with this, as I have an IQAir HealthPro, not a HealthPro Plus, and have never opted to add the optional V5-Cell to my HealthPro unit. I just wanted to point out that I don't believe the model being reviewed here actually gives off the odor that some are claiming, and that they probably should have instead reviewed the "HealthPro Plus" item. You shouldn't experience any odor problems with this, unless of course you choose to add the optional V5-Cell at a later date. As far as I'm concerned, it's nice to have that option, but I'm not *sensitive* to those kind chemicals, and adding the cell reduces the IQAir's intake rate, so I've always opted to simply use the prefilter and HEPA filter for my allergy needs.
Description of IQAir HealthPro Air Purifier
The HealthPro features the same advanced micro- and nano-particle filter technologies as the HealthPro Plus, however without the gas and odor filter (V-5 Cell). The HealthPro effectively removes every type of particulate air pollutants, including all common allergens. The system has a spare compartment that can at any time be upgraded with a the V-5 Cell (wide-spectrum gas and molecular filter) to help eliminate gaseous chemicals and odors. This makes the HealthPro the ideal choice for allergy sufferers and other health-conscious individuals that need ultra high-efficiency particle removal with the option of later adding gas and odor removal. Manufacturer recommends using this unit only for 120V outlets (inside USA and Canada).HEPA Air Purifiers
