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

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.

According to a new study conducted by a Swiss air quality monitoring company, every country on Earth failed to meet air quality standards set out by the World Health Organization last year. The study shows the enormous gap between safe air quality levels and the type of air the vast majority of people worldwide are breathing. It also showed a continued gulf between wealthy nations and poorer ones, as countries in Southeast Asia were disproportionately more exposed to worse levels of air pollution.   The data for the new study were sourced from nearly 6,500 cities worldwide. Incredibly, only 222 of those cities met the WHO air quality standards on average. In other words, only about 3 percent of the monitored cities have air that is considered safe to breathe.   Performance was even worse at the country level. No nation on Earth could claim to meet WHO air quality standards on average. Even more concerning was the degree to which even the countries that boasted the best air quality missed the WHO mark. Highly developed nations in North America and Northern Europe had air pollution levels that exceeded the standards by 1-2 times.   In less developed countries, the statistics were truly alarming. Bangladesh, India and Pakistan all exceeded the WHO standards by a factor of more than 10. These countries suffer from levels of fine particulate matter that are extremely hazardous for human health, especially in densely populated cities.   Reasons for the amount of air pollution present throughout the world vary. In some countries, burning of coal and unfiltered industrial emissions contribute to the amount of pollution present in the air. In more developed countries, these factors are still relevant, but they tend to be somewhat mitigated by environmental regulations. Other factors, however, can come into play. In the US, for instance, particulate matter levels in 2021 were driven up by wildfires in the West.   Together, these findings paint a deeply concerning picture. The wealthiest and most developed nations in the world are universally failing to keep their air quality in line with WHO standards. Less developed countries, meanwhile, are left in an even worse position and struggle with pollution up to 10 times the recommended levels.   While there isn't much you can do about air pollution in your city or country, you can help to keep yourself and your family safer within your own home. High-quality home air purifiers can remove many components of air pollution, including particulate matter and harmful gases. By using an air purifier in your home, you can clean up the air you're breathing most often.   Have questions about what air purifier is the right fit for you? We're here to help!

One of the latest high-tech air purifiers is the Aura Air Smart Air Purifier. Here's what you need to know about this innovative unit and how its cutting-edge features can help keep the air in your home cleaner.  

Aura Air Smart Air Purifier Overview

  The Aura Air Smart Air Purifier is a professional clean air solution for small to medium-sized spaces. This unit is recommended for spaces of up to 600 square feet. The purifier's onboard smart sensors detect particles, temperature, humidity and other data about indoor air quality. Using this data, the air purifier adjusts its setting to provide you with cleaner air at all times.   The Smart Air Purifier from Aura Air is a wall-mountable unit, making it a perfect solution for areas where space is at a premium. You can also choose from two optional stands. The shorter stand is meant for placing the air purifier on a desk or table and is 14.7 inches tall. The taller option is 35.1 inches high and allows you to elevate the air purifier above the floor.   Despite being quite small, this air purifier moves a considerable amount of air. In spaces up to the 600 square foot recommended maximum, the Smart Air Purifier can perform up to 2.5 air changes each hour.  

Filtration

  The Aura Air Smart Air Purifier includes four separate stages of filtration. The first is a prefilter that catches large particles like dust, hair and pollen. Next is Aura Air's specialized Ray HEPA filter that targets fine particles, bacteria, odors, viruses and mold spores. Third is a UV-C lamp to neutralize bacteria and viruses that slip through the HEPA filter. Finally, the purifier includes an ionizer that balances positive and negative ions for fresher air and to target airborne germs.  

Optional Enterprise Dashboard Software

  In addition to the standard app, you can also upgrade to Aura Air's Dashboard software when using the Smart Air Purifier. This software allows you to manage multiple units from a single, simple dashboard. This makes it a natural choice for schools and businesses that may want to use several Smart Air Purifiers within a large facility.   The Enterprise Dashboard is also good for individual consumers who want deeper insights into their home air quality. This system monitors fine particulate matter, tVOCs, CO2 and other pieces of air quality data. With it, you'll gain more information about the quality of the air in your home and what factors could be affecting it.   If you choose to add on the software dashboard, you'll need one software package for every Smart Air Purifier you're using. However, all of the units can be easily managed from a single dashboard, saving you the trouble of switching back and forth.   Whether you're trying to clean up the air in your home or provide higher air quality to employees at your business, the Aura Air Smart Air Purifier is a great solution.
