would love a video on the FilterQueen Defender. It’s a good machine, but not worth what they charge. Their cartridges do technically meet ULPA standards, but they are really expensive. They also have a activated carbon wrap but it’s pretty garden variety. I would love a deep dive and test on this machine, as getting them second hand is really a good deal.
Again, all of these videos on the IQ Air and comparison videos seem to be based off of incorrect information. If someones number one thing is particle filtration, they may want to pay the extra money since this one filters particles down to .003 microns as where typical air filters only get particles as small as .3 microns. Your reviews are produced well but in regards to the IQ Air you seem to be basing your reviews on incorrect information. There website points out that there are no particles smaller than .003 microns as anything smaller becomes a gas.
See my reply to your raising this concern in the HealthPro Plus review. HEPA filters can filter particles smaller than 0.3 microns just as well as IQAir's particle filters. (see page 21 here www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2003-136/pdfs/2003-136.pdf)
You have to upgrade to the HyperHepa ( Ultra Low Particulate Air or ULPA) for IQAir. Furthermore, other companies make ULPA based air purifiers. Oransi makes similar products to IQAir (Both are high quality products but expensive) If you have severe allergies they can make all the difference, but for the average consumer they are typically overkill unless you have cash burning a hole in your pocket.
Michael Stanko All “HealthPro” models have a HyperHEPA filter which are in the $850 price point range. We got a HealthPro Plus ($900). We have 9 parrots and could use the overkill. lol
I agree with your assessment. This seems to be systematic and deliberate from the way it is construed that the HEPA (I.e., HyperHEPA) filter found in an IQAir HealthPro Plus is the same sort of filter found in other air purifiers that come with “HEPA” filters. That’s simply false as any customer who has done their research on air purifiers and decided to purchase an IQAir HealthPro Plus can attest to. I almost feel as if this RUclips Channel may be funded by Winnix or another competitor of IQAir. I’d be interested to hear if the ConsumerAnalysis RUclips channel and website are funded by any of the brands of air purifiers reported on. That would be a true form of objective “consumer analysis” free of any potential bias from air purifier manufacturers with an investment in the outcome of these quality reports.
This review is a bit superficial. Blogger has done a deep dive on brochures and the internet-he has not conducted basic testing or had personal experience with all these devices. What booger misses is the big advantage of IQ air- its SEALED-the non independent numbers quoted by most the manufacturers dotn tackle this into account. Their “effectiveness” and CFM ratings are not measuring g the actual system in use and they leak air (ie they are pulling in air that does not have to go through the filter .IQ airs superiority is easily tested - get a can of fake smoke , exhaust half the can into teh air of a small room with door closed , use a particulate meter (not that $ on amazon) pre and post running the unit at high speeds . IQ air, trust me, will come out on top. And yes you DO Need I done DT testing to believe the numbers being touted by manufacturer. I have GE, Bluair and IQ Air units. (I do not hav the Austin -but have heard it is noisy) As a physician with asthma in the family IQ air is THE unit to buy-do not stop at go- the extra $$ is well worth it. Its also much more effective vs gas (easily determined with your own nose) Blueair is not bad, esp on sale or at Costco, but its not IQ air. I do not have to join the HyperHepa debate; IQ IS SEALED, NONE OF THE OTHERS ARE. It is also quieter on a CFM/min basis. I concede I have not tested the Winix. It looks like an improved (tighter tolerances) version of the GE. I use my GE in the shop, Blueair in the basement, and IQ air in bedroom . All have their roles. But if you are an asthmatic i would just go directly to the IQ Air. Yiou will NOT regret it. Media costs are not that different, IQ airs filters last longer as they are larger, and for me that means fewer changes/filter purchases. Final point -NOBODY provides better service /warranty than IQ air. Blue air has disappointed in That regard. Look there is a reason you see IQ air filters in hospitals and Austin air in laboratories.
Thank you for making this distinction regarding IQ Air being sealed, and for sharing your personal experience with the units you mentioned. Much appreciated.
All true...except that it will cost me about $1370 just to ship two Austin Air units to the UK. And that doesn't include the purchase price of the actual units.
Anybody have or know how well the atem works?? It’s impossible to find a quality air purifier for the car that has enough power. I also surprisingly can’t find any reviews on it
Have you tested jafanda jf999 499 does 4600sf every hour h1n1 traps in filter please test this is and is available on Amazon I'm not with this company I just want people that have lung problems I have COPD and filters is h13 merv17 HEPA filter 1.69 lb of carbon please test thanks
I should eventually test all of the most popular air purifiers on the market. I'm just not sure if the Samsung will qualify (be popular enough) to warrant a purchase next time I do a round-up of air purifiers.
@@chefgav1 Australia and UK are have more strict regulations on passing products on their market compared to USA. That's including cosmetic and food products. I learned that a long time ago.
Austin no good ,the nuwave,no good, the coway no good, bissell no good ! I try all these a period of 2 month! All had discrepancy! I know a little about air purifiers ! My first one was the Oreck and many more ! Unbelievable 🤦♂️ IQAir health pro would be my last if it doesn’t have a issue!
If I am running it 24/7, do you know how long filters will last? Because that's what I am intending to. I want my air clean 24/7. If we look at all these 5 reasons, I don't think it's really super expensive. It comes with 500$ worth of filters. So machine itself is like 400$? I am primarily focusing on filter replacements (like running cost). Filters are like $500, last 4 years? Regular purifiers' filters cost about $100 or so, last about 1 year if you are lucky? so its like 400$ expense in running others vs 500$ this one with better quality equipment overall. So basically just about 200$ expensive than others, is not a big deal for something that is made in Switzerland, not China. If you want your equipment to last longer, and not wanting to replace the unit every couple of years or so because either filters aren't available, or any other reason. I have seen lots of purifiers manufacturers came to the market and disappeared after a while. So you get what you paid for. Now I won't even think about getting the high-end model Klaus series is definitely not worth the tag for majority but if again if your home decor matters, then people will fork out for their mansion.

Unfortunately, we do not have Austin in Europe. That’s shame.

Winix don’t have sealed units but still test very good

Can you please test samsung air purifer?. My wife like the decor :( but there is no real review only marketing information.
I should eventually test all of the most popular air purifiers on the market. I'm just not sure if the Samsung will qualify (be popular enough) to warrant a purchase next time I do a round-up of air purifiers.
Samsung has been tested in Australia and did excellent except for VOC absorption which was very average

wrong, u have to. made and engineered, quality price with whooping 300cfm. 10 yr warranty, come on man. commercial quality. no brainer.

Iq air say 7 months if used on speed 3 24/7
7 months for which filters? They would not all be changed out at 7 months as premax is usually around 18months, hepa 4 years and v5cell 2 years.
You need an I.Q. of 40 to buy this or be a person who buys Apple products.
This isn’t an apple product.
Thanks George for doing everyone's thinking for them.
