Blueair 603
If you want a high performance machine to clean normal household pollutants, this is one of the contender. But be prepared to pay a premium.
Blueair 503
The is a solid air purifier for everyday use provided you don’t have any serious smoke, odor and molds problem. If peaceful sleep is a major concern, this is one of the machine you should consider. But it is not cheap to own or maintain.
AllerAir 5000 Vocarb
What AllerAir has built here is a machine that can clear your everyday airborne contaminants effectively and also controls odor, smoke and gases – better than most commercial machines out there.
If you live in an area where that is a big problem, seriously consider this machine.
Allerair 5000 Exec
Like we said before, the 5000 Exec is just like a rally car. If you want performance – this machine can deliver it. But if you want a machine pleasant enough for your eyes and smart enough to tell you when the filters need replacement, look elsewhere.
Austin Air Allergy Machine
A simple machine that gets the job done.
And while the other Austin machines are tailored for all round air pollution control, this one focuses more on people who are troubled not only with dust, but also by airborne chemicals and gases.
Austin Healthmate
If Austin Air Healthmate Plus is like a sports car with a very powerful turbo engine, this Healthmate is the same sports car, but without the turbo.
And like a racing car, it is meant to deliver performance, not comfort.
So, while the filter is good, it does not have all must-have features of modern air cleaners – things like automatic speed adjustment, digital display, filter replacement alert or a timer.
Austin Air Healthmate Plus
Austin Air Healthmate+ is like a car with a very powerful engine. Unfortunately, it lacks many convenient features you’d expect when you buy a machine at this price.
The company takes a great care to add potassium iodide into it’s carbon/zeolite filter to control gases and smoke. It also has 60 feet of true HEPA filter,which is one of the biggest filtration area in a home air purifier.
But while the core is good, we have a few issues with this machine.
