Top Quality Air Purifiers and Healthy Home Solutions that You Can Trust

Vehicle traffic is one of the largest sources of pollution in the modern world. Studies have shown that long-term exposure to traffic pollution can  shorten lifespans by increasing the risk of cardiovascular and lung diseases. While this is a problem that has to be solved at larger levels, a good air purifier can at least help you protect your home from vehicle pollution that can get in from outside. Here are three of the best air purifiers for vehicle pollution you can buy to use in your home.  

Field Controls TRIO Pro

  With the ability to perform 3 air changes per hour in spaces of up to 1,618 square feet, the Field Controls TRIO Pro is a powerful air purifier by any standards. This medical-grade air purifier is excellent for targeting particulate and chemical pollutants of all sorts, making it a good choice for an all-purpose air purifier.  

Amaircare 3000 VOC

  The Amaircare 3000 VOC uses both carbon and HEPA filters to provide broad-based protection against a range of different pollutants. With this air purifier, you can target both solid and gaseous contaminants in your air, allowing you to remove some of the most harmful components of air pollution. The Amaircare 3000 VOC also features durable all-metal construction.  

Airpura R600

  Like the other purifiers on this list, the Airpura R600 provides broad-spectrum protection by using carbon and HEPA filters to target different classes of contaminants. This model covers up to 2,000 square feet and features an 18 pound carbon bed for more effective chemical absorption.   As you can see, the best air purifiers for traffic pollution are generally those that can target more than one type of contaminant. This is because vehicles give off particulate pollution and chemical fumes, both of which can be harmful to human health. By using a high-quality air purifier in your home, you can protect yourself against pollution and other common contaminants.   Have more questions about air purifiers?

Amaircare has recently made a slight change to its line of carbon-filtered air purifiers targeting odors and VOCs. These units, which previously were equipped with a 7-pound carbon canister, will now ship with a pleated carbon filter instead. As the transition takes place, some customers may receive units with the newer pleated filters, even if they ordered the older version of the units.

Why Is Amaircare Changing Its VOC Filters?

  Simply put, the new pleated filters are more effective than the older carbon canisters. This filter is an annual VOC filter, meaning it needs to be changed once per year. The filter is part of a kit that also includes three pre-filters. The pre-filters must be changed once every 4 months in order to keep the air purifier running at optimal capacity.  

Amaircare Purifiers May Come With the New Filter, Even for Older Orders

  As Amaircare transitions to the new filter variety, customers who ordered the older units may receive units with the newer style of filter. As stated above, the new filter is more effective than the older one, so you're actually receiving an upgraded unit if this happens! In all other respects, your new Amaircare air purifier will be exactly the same.   As air purifier brands continue to improve their products, we try to keep all of our customers up to date on changes that may affect them.

We're all familiar with how clean and pleasant an air freshener can make a room smell. Behind that enjoyable odor, however, there may be hidden air quality risks. Chemical air fresheners can increase the levels of harmful VOCs in your indoor air, reducing overall air quality. Here's what you need to know about air fresheners and air quality before deciding to use one in your home.  

What Harmful VOCs Do Air Fresheners Emit?

  The list of volatile organic compounds that are emitted by common air fresheners is both surprising and worrisome. Chemicals found in these fresheners include formaldehyde, benzene and acetylaldehyde, among others.  The levels of VOCs emitted from an air freshener vary by scent, but most common air fresheners today include at least some of these chemicals. Unfortunately, these compounds are quite volatile and can easily be released into home air, making them a danger to indoor air quality.  

How Harmful Are These Chemicals?

  Long-term exposure to these VOCs can have a number of health effects. At the concentrations released by air fresheners, the consequences aren't likely to be severe, but they are still concerning. Effects of these VOCs can include headaches, upper respiratory irritation and, in some rare cases, neurological problems.   It should also be noted that individuals already suffering from asthma or other existing disorders may see much worse effects than otherwise healthy individuals. Sensitive individuals are more likely to experience severe coughing or lung irritation from chemicals like the ones found in air fresheners.  

Is There a Safer Alternative?

  Luckily, there are two safer alternatives to standard air fresheners. The first is to use all-natural scents to give your home a clean, pleasant odor without relying on harsh chemicals. Natural indoor odors you can consider using include coffee, herbal potpourris and dried oranges.   Another good alternative is to use an air purifier with an activated carbon filter to keep your home air fresh. While this doesn't actually add any odor to the air in your home, it can remove any other odors that are lingering around, leaving your air clean and fresh. Most importantly, carbon filtered air purifiers can even remove VOCs from home air, making it healthier to breathe instead of adding potentially harmful chemicals to it.   Some of our top air purifiers for odor and VOC control include:  

• Amaircare 3000 VOC
• Airpura C600
• AllerAir AirMedic Pro 6

  By using a good air purifier, you can keep your home air fresh without having to add potentially dangerous chemicals to it. At the same time, you can also remove harmful contaminants and make your home a healthier place to live.   Have questions about which air purifier is right for you? We're here to help!

When it comes to air purification, many people find it difficult to remember to change filters and bulbs. When these parts wear out, they can make an air purifier ineffective and prevent it from delivering clean, healthy air. Fortunately, there are certain kinds of air purifiers that don't have replaceable parts, making them essentially maintenance free. Here's what you need to know about maintenance free air purifiers in 2022 and two of our top maintenance free brands.  

How Do Maintenance Free Air Purifiers Work?

  Maintenance free air purifiers replace the traditional filters found in most air purifiers with other technologies. For example, some use thermal cores that heat the air passing through them to neutralize airborne contaminants. These replacement technologies allow the air purifier to remove harmful contaminants from the air without requiring regular filter changes.  

Are Maintenance Free Air Purifiers as Good as Traditional Air Purifiers?

  The answer to this question is a bit of a mixed bag. Maintenance free air purifiers don't have the same capabilities as air purifiers that use HEPA and/or activated carbon filters. Whether they're as good as these more traditional units, however, largely depends on your needs. If you're looking for an air purifier to remove basic contaminants from your home air, a maintenance free air purifier can be every bit as helpful as a traditional one. If you need medical-grade air purification, on the other hand, you're better off sticking with more traditional filter units.   In some aspects, maintenance free air purifiers can even be better than their traditional counterparts. For instance, purifiers that use thermal cores to neutralize contaminants do an excellent job of targeting viruses that can sometimes pass through traditional filter materials. So, as with anything else, the right air purifier for you really depends on your needs.  

Best Maintenance Free Air Purifiers 2022

  Here at US Air Purifiers, we carry two of the top maintenance free air purifier brands on the market: Airfree and Aura Air. Below, you'll find information on each of these brands and the units they offer.  

Airfree

  Airfree is an example of an air purifier system that uses a thermal core to "cook" the air that passes through. Airfree air purifiers heat the air inside of them to temperatures in excess of 400 degrees, neutralizing solid contaminants that pass through. This allows them to target viruses, bacteria, mold spores and pollen very effectively.   Some of Airfree's leading units include:  

• Airfree Lotus
• Airfree Onix
• Airfree T800
• Airfree Tulip
• Airfree 2000

 

Aura Air

  Another leading maintenance free air purifier is the Aura Air Mini Air Purifier. This unit uses bipolar ionization technology to reduce harmful contaminants. This unit also includes a pre-filter that captures larger particles, such as pollen and pet hair. The Aura Air Mini Air Purifier is a great on-the-go solution for air purification and can cover areas of up to 107 square feet.   Maintenance free air purifiers are good solutions for many people wanting basic protection against common contaminants. Because they do not require filter changes, these purifiers are extremely simple to use and are perfect for busy people who may otherwise forget to perform routine filter maintenance.   Not sure which air purifier is right for you?

Recently, we announced that the popular Rabbit Air Minus A2 series of air purifiers would be phasing out. Today, we're happy to introduce the replacement series, the Rabbit Air A3. This new series of air purifiers offers many of the same great features as the old A2 series but also includes some substantial upgrades. Here's what you need to know about the Rabbit Air A3 and its capabilities.  

Rabbit Air A3 Basic Specs

  The Rabbit Air A3 SPA-1000N is rated for spaces of up to 1,070 square feet, in which it can perform two air changes per hour. This air purifier can be used as a freestanding unit, but it can also be mounted to the wall for use in rooms with limited open floor space. This purifier uses a brushless motor to minimize background noise from the fan. At the lowest setting, the unit is virtually silent.   The A3 features 6 independent stages of filtration. Most important among these is the BioGS HEPA filter, which removes 99.97 percent of solid contaminants 0.3 microns or larger in diameter. A medium pre-filter captures larger particles before air passes through the HEPA filter. An activated charcoal filter provides protection from odors, VOCs and other gases. Together, this filtration system provides comprehensive coverage against most common household contaminants.   In addition, you can select one custom filter, depending on the type of contaminants you most want to target. The germ defense filter targets bacteria, viruses and mold spores. The pet allergy filter addresses dander and pet hair that can cause allergic reactions. The toxin absorber filter removes VOCs and other chemical gases. The odor filter reduces airborne odors, including cigarette smoke and cooking fumes.   For improved air flow, the A3 uses a 360-degree air intake. The outlet for the air is at the back of the air purifier and is directed upward into the surrounding room. This allows for efficient air flow and circulation.  

Rabbit Air A3 Smart Features

  In addition to its basic filtration capabilities, the Rabbit Air A3 also features onboard air quality sensors that allow it to detect the level of contaminants in the air around it. Using this data, the purifier can automatically adjust its speed to provide higher air quality when needed.   These features also allow the purifier to essentially double as an indoor air quality monitor. Through the unit's wireless internet connectivity and the Rabbit Air App, you can see real-time data on the air quality in your house anytime, anywhere. This app also allows you to easily adjust air purifier settings as necessary from your smartphone.  

Filter Life and Warranty

  When used 24 hours a day, Rabbit Air recommends changing the filters on the A3 once a year. The unit also comes with a 5-year manufacturer's warranty and Rabbit Air's 24/7 tech support assistance.   As you can see, the Rabbit Air A3 is a versatile and powerful air purifier that can help you keep the air in your home clean and healthy.
