Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of IQAir HealthPro Plus HEPA Air Purifier - Air Cleaner with with Gas and Odor Filter - HyperHepa TechnologyCustomer Review: Good but noisy Summary: 4 StarsWow is this a hyped market. This filter is costly but it does work and without ozone generation. The main drawback is the noise. Comparatively the noise should be evaluated in an objective way, but any perceptible noise is a shortcoming for me, especially since this kind of filter (portable room type) can only work if it is kept nearby. I attribute a lot of this filter's effectiveness to the V5 Cell filter, but I haven't tested without it to be sure. One thing is for sure, this filter makes a very noticeable difference in the room where we keep it running. We run it on 1 (lowest setting) nearly continously in a 10x12 room.
Some advice: source control, ventilation, filtration (in that order). No one in my home is hypersensitive but we minimized the worst offenders in building, floor and wall materials and furnishings, and we control kitchen sources with a 650CFM overhead hood. Like many people, I have cleaner air outside than in, so ventilating is far more cost effective than trying to filter everything. We use 120CFM (fan rating) positive pressure ventilation in a tight 1900 sf building envelope (specifically we ventilate to ASHRAE 62.1 spec). Ventilation intake is filtered with 3M filtrete, but the main HVAC recirculating duct system cannot handle the pressure drop of serious filtration (most residential system can't). Because a whole house filter is not just a bolt-on for us but would mean a total redo on the duct system, in-room filtration is the preferred solution. I researched and evaluated in room filters and bought this IQ Air. I have had it for more than a year and I believe it is described accurately -- it's not a cheap rigged up filter on a box fan (it still costs less than $1000) or some hyped up junk (read: Shaper Image or Oreck). Although I think it is fairly characterized, it's not going to single-handedly fix air quality problems in a home (see: source control, ventilation first). Again, I rate this filter high, but it if I were to advocate a course for clean air it would be: source control, ventilation (then filtering).
