Interestingly, the implications of this size downgrade are relatively small. The machine still performs to the amazing standards that the larger model does, and it still incorporates the innovate and unique technology of all IQAir products. So why would you want to buy this particular model over another in the IQAir range? We wanted to find out for ourselves.

IQAir HealthPro Compact Air Purifier Specifications & Features

IQAir HealthPro Compact Air Purifier - HEPA Air Cleaner

• List Price: $8.49
  
• Sale Price: $748.99
  
• Used From: $500.00
  

Filtration Stages
As was the case with the alternative IQAir HealthPro model, the IQAir HealthPro Compact Air Purifier has an incredible array of filtration processes to tackle even the dirtiest of air conditions.

The HEPA filter technology on board is rated to H12 and H13 standards - which may not mean much to the general consumer, but in terms of air quality performance, it's a huge leap forward. Basically, it means that the filter is able to remove air particles which are just 0.01 microns in size. This, with 99% efficiency, is no small feat.

Design & Style
The footprint of the IQAir HealthPro Compact Air Purifier is the same size as the HealthPro Plus - but the vertical height is where the space savings have been made. Approximately 40% of the height of the HealthPro Plus has been subtracted from this model, resulting in more of a box shape than a vertical tower.

The appearance of the machine is just as elegant though, and it definitely won't matter where you put it, because it is surprisingly elegant and modern.

Accreditations
This machine gains the prestigious H12 and H13 HEPA ratings - equivalent to those given to clean rooms and biochemistry laboratories around the world. Of course, it won't make your house in to a biochemically safe area - but the technology on board sure will get it part of the way there.

Effectiveness
If our tests, the IQAir HealthPro Compact Air Purifier was just as effective as the bigger model when cleaning the air in a room of approximately 900 square feet. The prescribed ability of the IQAir HealthPro Compact Air Purifier is for 1000 square feet, however we didn't have a room that was big enough to test this claim.

Digital controls such as the filter life indicator, integrated times, and the fan speed indicator are also nice touches to show how the room is being purified.

Our Rating of IQAir HealthPro Compact Air Purifier
As with the HealthPro Plus, the IQAir HealthPro Compact Air Purifier scores strongly on our performance and popularity scale. We award the machine a full 5 stars for efficiency, performance, design, and effectiveness.

With its ability to eliminate particles down to 0.01 microns in size, and its 1000 square foot coverage zone, this air purifier is certainly no joke. We got our hands on one and put it to the test in a number of different scenarios - to analyze exactly how beneficial this machine really is.

Filtration Stages
Do you know how expensive it is to create a room which is almost 100% particle free? Companies spend tens of millions of dollars creating "clean rooms", with hugely advanced technology at their fingertips.

Amazingly, the IQAir HealthPro Plus Air Purifier uses some of the same technology as is commonly utilized in these clean rooms. This machine uses H12 and H13 graded HEPA filtration, which is able to filter out particles all the way down to 0.01 of a micron.

Furthermore, V5-Cell technology eliminates gases and odors - a phase which is especially useful to those with asthma and some chemical allergies.

Design & Style
As we already mentioned, the IQAir HealthPro Plus Air Purifier is definitely one of the largest home air purifiers that we have reviewed. Despite this, you shouldn't struggle to find a place for it in your home, as it is relatively modern, and doesn't present any harsh images to the eye.

The design is effectively a tower style, as the air gets pushed through each phase in a vertical direction.

Accreditations
The IQAir HealthPro Plus Air Purifier uses HEPA rated technology - which is able to filter out 99 percent of airborne particles. There is no mention as to whether this HEPA technology is medical grade or not, but obviously if it is H12 class certified, it should be on the same, if not a higher filtration level.

Effectiveness
In our tests, the IQAir HealthPro Plus Air Purifier performed incredibly. Our test settings presented the machine with difficult airborne particles, such as smoke, paint fumes, and mold spores. An air quality exam after the test showed that literally 99.89% of the air had been cleared.

Our Rating of IQAir HealthPro Plus Air Purifier
There is no way we could give the IQAir HealthPro Plus Air Purifier anything less than a 5 star rating. Being able to filter particles all the way down to 0.01 microns in size, as well as the H12 HEPA technology, and the 1,000 square foot operational range, simply means that this machine is a state of the art piece of technology.

You will definitely not be disappointed with the IQAir HealthPro Plus Air Purifier if you are lucky enough to get your hands on one.

This is actually one of the best reasons to buy an IQAir product. All that technological research has been compacted down, and is now able to be piled in to a product - just like the one we have here today - the IQAir AM GCX Air Cleaner. We took this machine for a test drive - and here are the results!

IQAir AM GCX Air Cleaner Specifications & Features

Filtration Stages
Air filtration doesn't get any more advanced than with the IQAir AM GCX Air Cleaner. You'll immediately see that the product is quite tall - much taller in fact than the HealthPro series. There is a good reason for this vertical extension. The air flowing through the machine is being forced through two further filtration steps, making it cleaner and more pure than ever before.

The IQAir AM GCX Air Cleaner adds advanced gas and odor sensors, as well as new tools to fight these particles and ensure they are properly extracted from the air. Common household irritants such as cigarette smoke and cooking fumes will be absolutely no match for this machine.

Design & Style
As we already mentioned, the design of the IQAir AM GCX Air Cleaner is one which is horizontally narrower than other models in the IQAir range - but quite a lot taller. The color scheme is still pleasant, and as with all IQAir products that we have reviewed, this machine definitely won't interrupt the view or the living space - regardless of which room it is based in.

Accreditations
Every IQAir AM GCX Air Cleaner unit which is produced goes through a rigorous testing stage before being released to you - the consumer. These tests ensure that there are no air leaks in the machine, and that the filtration steps are installed correctly. Advanced H12 and H13 HEPA technology comes standard on this model, as does the carbon filter.

Effectiveness
To say that the IQAir AM GCX Air Cleaner is effective at reducing airborne particles would be a woeful understatement. Given the fact that this product originated from a commercial series of products, it would be fair to say that performance and effectiveness in the home is on a level which has never been experienced before. All credit has to go to the designers and engineers at IQAir for producing this miracle of an air purifier.

Our Rating of IQAir AM GCX Air Cleaner
Hopefully by now you will have been able to guess how many stars we will be awarding to the IQAir AM GCX Air Cleaner. It really was a pleasure to test this product, and we are confident that any consumer who puts one of these in their home will feel an incredible health difference from day one. So that's 5 stars for the IQAir AM GCX Air Cleaner - and huge praise to the manufacturer for planning and executing this brilliant product.

Working like a professional gas mask, the IQAir GC series of air purifiers maximize the filtration of specific types of gases and chemicals in the air...at the molecular level! With their advanced and wide variety of filter cartridge design, no gas, chemical, or particle is elusive enough to escape the air purifier's grasp! Not to mention they can be used with an inflow or an outflow kit...allowing you to produce a safe room (like those at the hospitals) when the situation demands it! And to show you that the brains and engineers behind IQAir GC series of air purifiers have gone the extra mile, you are offered advanced controls to monitor each and every filter your air purifer model has. No more guesswork as to when you should remove the filters!

The controls of the IQAir GC air purifiers are advanced and eco-friendly. They're unmatched in the industry. You will see an LCD display that will tell you the remaining useful life of every filter you've got. You have no excuse for changing a filter when you don't need to! This alone helps you reduce landfill waste. On the other hand, the timer allows you to program the air purifying unit so you can turn it on before you enter the room...ensuring that you're breathing nothing but clean and fresh air. Additionally, it also allows you to turn it off when you're not around, enabling you to save energy.

Think about it, their 2 BIGGEST releases - the IQAir HealthPro as well as the IQAir HealthPro Plus, have been tweaked and designed painstakingly to deliver quality performance for â??clean rooms'. Just in case you don't know, these facilities and rooms are commonly found in hospitals. That should give you an idea of how clean and pure the air should be for these clean rooms.

Now that may sound a little too much for the average consumer and air purifier buyer. However, if you are living with someone who's highly sensitive to different allergens as well as chemicals, if you're living with someone who can't afford to get sick, then the IQAir Purifiers (even at their steep prices) will give you the best bang for your buck!

It's very common to see good and high quality air purifiers being powerful enough to remove 99.9% of particles that are larger than 0.03 micron. They may sound good enough, but the manufacturers of IQAir air purifiers have taken the extra mile. Their air cleaning and purifying units have been tried, tested, and proven to be effective in removing particles from the air that are as small as 0.01 micron!

And this is complimented by wide coverage. Many of the air purifying units from IQAir can easily clean a room with an area of up to 1100 square feet!

Aside near perfect performance when it comes to purifying and cleaning the air, IQAir air cleaning and purifying units are also designed to improve your room's odor or scent. That's especially true for IQAir HealthPro Plus. With its V5 Cell Filter, removing 200 different gases and odors from the air is nothing but piece of cake for this air purifier!

But if you're living with someone who's highly sensitive to allergens (like me, my son is asthmatic), then the IQAir HealthPro is exactly what you need. Now don't be surprised by the price - this air purifying unit is about 2 or even 3 times more expensive than the common air cleaners and purifiers.

However, this is well compensated by the fact that it can clean and capture up to 100 times more particles - pollens, allergens, and more, than your usual HEPA cleaner. As for the coverage - I'm giving this purifier 2 thumbs up! Think about it - not all purifiers can handle and clean up to 1100 square feet (at maximum fan speed mind you)...some of them won't even come close to that.

To add to that, it comes with the superior quality H12/13 class certified HEPA filter. Just in case you don't know, these high quality HEPA filters can serve you for years...about 4 years if I'm not mistaken. That means the time and effort needed for maintenance is significantly reduced.

• Used From: $624.00
  

To show you what these HEPA filters are capable of doing, it can capture particles down to 0.01 microns and its efficiency is almost perfect! This beats other filters, which can only capture particles down to 0.03 microns, out of the water. Although such filters cost about $200 or so, with a quality and duration like that, I'd say it's worth every penny.

The only quibble I have with the IQAir HealthPro is that the fan is a little noisy when set on high speed. Since as mentioned earlier, my son is asthmatic, I don't take chances and set the fan speeds at maximum. It can be a little annoying.

Overall, however, even at its steep price, the IQAir HealthPro is definitely recommended.

The superior quality HEPA filters of the IQAir HealthPro has been good enough for many of its users. However, the IQAir HealthPro Plus takes this a step further by offering not one, not two...BUT 3 high quality air filters, which is led by the chemical and odor-trapping filter - the V5 Cell.

When it comes to complexity and efficiency, the V5 Cell Filter of IQAir HealthPro Plus is on top of the list. It takes advantage of a 5-chamber filtration method. Each of these 5 chambers contains activated carbon as well as aluminum that work hand-in-hand and very well in trapping gases and not-so-pleasant odors.

So what does it mean for you?

Health-Pro Plus Air Purifier

• List Price: $899.00
  
• Sale Price: $898.99
  
• Used From: $675.00
  

Simple - this means not just cleaner but better smelling air in your home and rooms. Aside from that, through different tests, it has been shown to absorb and remove well over 200 different gases and odors from the air. And if other air purifiers are having a hard time against air contaminants like dust mites and paint fumes, the IQAir HealthPro Plus handles it like a piece of cake and disposes it very easily.

The V5 Cell Filter, along with the HyperHEPA and Pre-Filter can be easily removed and replaced individually. These filters are a little pricey compared to other filters. After all, you get what you pay for and these are high quality filters. However, the priciest among them is undoubtedly the V5 Cell Filter.

This is compensated, however, by the fact that they can last for more or less 2 years. To top this off, you can easily tell that you need a replacement filter all thanks to the built-in electronic filter monitoring system.

There are different researches and studies conducted concerning the performance and quality of IQAir purifiers especially the HealthPro Plus. And the result? It has been proven that they're effective when it comes to alleviating symptoms caused by allergies, asthma, and other chemical sensitivities. And my experience as an ordinary consumer reflects these findings.

The only minor issue I have with it is that at 35 pounds, this air purifier is a little bulky compared to others. However, for an air purifier that far surpasses the rest of the pack, this is a very minor inconvenience I'm more than willing to ignore.
