RabbitAir BioGS SPA-421A

RabbitAir BioGS SPA-421A Review Summary

The Good:
The BioGS SPA-421A is a stylish and lightweight air purifier equipped with better automatic electronic functions than most machines in the market. It is also very quiet and cheap to maintain.

The Bad:
Although the filter lasts around 3 years, it is not stated clearly that you’ll lose your warranty if you don’t change it earlier. And since the remote controls almost all the features, you won’t be able to change the settings it if you lose it.

The BottomLine:
Although the machine is rated for 600 sq feet, we think it suits a much smaller room due to it’s lower clean air delivery rating. But we like the fact that it is very silent, consumes very little energy and comes with features you’ll only find on premium air purifiers. We believe this is an excellent buy for those with mild to moderate allergy problem.

What we like about the BioGS SPA-421A

Long Lasting Filters: There are 3 filters in this machine, and the first 2 are washable.

• A pre-filter
• An activated Carbon Filter, and
• An anti-flu HEPA Filter

The HEPA should lasts up to 3 years but in order to get your 5 years warranty, you need to change the filter every 18 months.

Low Maintenance Cost
Annual filter replacement cost is around $46 or $23 if you use it for only 12 hours daily.

Extensive Electronic functions:
This RabbitAir BioGS SPA-421A has one of the most extensive digital display indicator  in the market today.

There are 2 air quality sensors – dust and odor. Apart from that it also has a timer function, 4 operating modes and 2 filter indicators. The first will tell you if the filter needs cleaning, and the other tells you if it the filters need to be changed.

When set to “automatic” it’s sensor will adjust the 5 fan speeds according to the air quality level in your home.

Uses Very Little Energy: The unit uses only 7 to 33 Watt of energy, making it one of the most energy efficient air purifier in the market right now.

Low Noise: At the lowest speed the machine is inaudible as it produces only 18dB of noise. At the highest setting, it is only 45dB. If you’re looking for an ultra quiet hepa air purifier that won’t bother your sleep, this is it.

Has Remote Control: You could control the machine from the comfort of your bed. But if you prefer it to run in the automatic mode, you can leave the tiny remote at the back of the machine.

Easy to Move Around: At 17lbs, the BioGS 421 is also one of the lightest and most portable machine in its class. Unless you have a serious back trouble, it should be relatively easy for an adult to move the unit around the house.

Sleek and Stylish: Because of it’s modern look and relatively thin profile, it should blend with your living room furniture well.

Easy to Change Filters: If the filters are clogged, the unit will let you know by illuminating its Filter Cleaning Indicator. You don’t need any tools to open the front door and get your filters.

But, we are concerned that :

The Remote Control operates all:
Like most modern tv, the tiny remote controls almost all of this air purifier’s functions ( if you lose it, a replacement costs $13.)

Irregular price:
Many online websites list this model at $330 (which is 40% of the retail price). But brick and mortar stores may not sell it that low. Those buying from local stores could lose a few hundred dollars.
