AllerAir 5000 Vocarb Air Purifier Review

Looking like something out of a Star Wars movie, the AllerAir 5000 Vocarb Air Purifier advertises itself as having a modern, unique design. They sure got the unique part right, but to be honest, we're not 100% sure about the "modern-ness" of the purifier.

Aside from the visual aspects though, the AllerAir 5000 Vocarb Air Purifier certainly does have a lot to be talked about. It is arguably one of the most feature packed air purifiers on the market, and a huge amount of research by both independent authorities and the manufacturer itself has proved the continued effectiveness of the product. We decided to put it to the test, to see if indeed the claims that were being made were true.

AllerAir 5000 Vocarb Air Purifier Specifications & Features

Filtration Stages
The AllerAir 5000 Vocarb Air Purifier uses 3 stages of filtration to ensure the cleanest possible air is present at all times. The first stage, a pre-filter - removes obvious particles from the air (the ones you can see floating around). The second stage is a carbon filter, which provides a molecularly sticky surface for air to pass over.

During this stage, any toxic gases or fumes are "caught" - and the clean air is allowed to pass. Finally, a HEPA filter removes further particles, such as common allergens and airborne mold and spores.

Design & Style
We believe that the design of the AllerAir 5000 Vocarb Air Purifier is more suited to a commercial / business environment than a home environment. Sure, if you have a home business, no doubt you could wheel the machine in and out of the office as needed. But for permanent positioning and use, the design is not all that beautiful or stylish.

Accreditations
The AllerAir 5000 Vocarb Air Purifier is rated for VOC removal - which is a commercial standard of air filtration - requiring a carbon filter to remove sticky air particles. Therefore, if you do indeed plan on using this air filter in your home, you can rest assured that you are getting commercial grade filtration, at a fraction of the price of a true commercial air purifier.

Effectiveness
The medical grade HEPA filter on this model removes 99.97% of airborne particles, and the performance in our testing backed this claim up. Remember, the sizes of the airborne particles we are talking about are measured on the "micron" scale - which is incredibly small. This model removes all particles larger than 0.3 microns in size.

Our Rating of AllerAir 5000 Vocarb Air Purifier
If this machine didn't look so much like a robot, and didn't have a giant eye at the front which stares at us when we walk around the room (not really, but there's a gaping big hole at the front) - we would have awarded it 5 stars.

But because style and design is such an important aspect of any home appliance, we have downgraded this machine to a 4.5 star rating. The performance and effectiveness is second to none, and there are no faults to be found with the filtration technology or processes.
