Overview
The AllerAir Airmedic Pro 6 Plus Vocarb Air Purifier is designed for high-performance air cleaning, making it ideal for larger spaces and environments with significant chemical and odor concerns. Here are some key features and considerations based on reviews:
Performance and Coverage
- Room Coverage: It effectively purifies spaces up to 1,500 square feet, with an ACH (Air Changes per Hour) rating of 2, which means it can refresh the air in a standard room twice every hour. For optimal performance, it’s recommended for spaces up to 750 square feet, achieving 4 ACH.
- Filtration: The unit features a 3-inch activated carbon filter, which provides extensive surface area for trapping pollutants and odors, along with a Super HEPA filter that captures 99.99% of airborne particles down to 0.1 microns. The combination of these filters is particularly effective against VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and other common household pollutants.
Noise Levels
- The Airmedic Pro 6 Plus operates at noise levels ranging from 50 dB on low to 75 dB on high, which may be considered noisy, especially at higher settings. This is something to keep in mind if you plan to use it in a bedroom or quiet office space.
Maintenance and Costs
- Filter Lifespan: The pre-filter lasts about 3 months, while the activated carbon filter can last between 2 to 5 years depending on usage, and the HEPA filter typically needs replacing every 2 years.
- Replacement Costs: One of the potential drawbacks is the cost of replacement filters, particularly for the carbon filters, which can be quite high, sometimes nearing the cost of the unit itself.
Features
- The purifier includes options for UV light to help neutralize airborne germs and mold spores. The unit is also equipped with wheels for easy movement, making it more user-friendly.
Summary
The AllerAir Airmedic Pro 6 Plus Vocarb Air Purifier is a robust choice for those needing high-capacity air purification, particularly in environments where VOCs and odors are a concern. However, potential buyers should consider the noise levels and the long-term costs associated with filter replacements.
