Airfree Air Purifiers

The Story Behind Airfree

The story behind the Airfree brand is unique. These air purifiers got their start when a Portuguese father was looking for solutions to help his son fight asthma. Not satisfied with the products then on the market, he sought to create a purifier that reduced more irritants in the air, to improve not only the breathing quality of his sick child but that of the entire household. Today, Airfree is a 100% Portuguese company whose air purifiers are manufactured in Europe and available in more than 50 countries.

How Airfree TSS Technology Works

Airfree models use a heat-based system that essentially cooks the air it takes in. Inside 32 mini-ducts in the ceramic core, air is heated to about 400 degrees Fahrenheit, reducing up to 99.99 percent of the microorganisms that pass through it, such as fungi, bacteria, airborne viruses and mold spores. The air is then cooled before it returns to the room.

The heated air rises like a hot-air balloon, drawing more air into the base of the unit, so the standard line needs no fan and runs completely silent. As well, these are among the only models that have been proven to reduce the concentration of ozone in the air while emitting no ions. Airfree generates no ozone, no ions and no UV light, and independent tests in laboratories in Sweden showed it reduces ozone by 26%.

Where Airfree Fits Best

Airfree is excellent for small areas like nurseries, bedrooms, bathrooms, playrooms and pantries, and it is a great fit for mold-contaminated areas as well as asthma and allergy sufferers. And while these products were originally developed exclusively for the home, they fit into a wide array of settings, from commercial offices to industrial areas.

This makes Airfree designs great additions to standard filter units, or great stand-alone air purifiers, since the standard line requires no maintenance. Airfree designs are made for smaller areas, and they greatly complement other units designed to filter the entire house.

Because the standard line has no filter, it isn't designed to capture dust, heavy smoke or chemical odors. For those, pair Airfree with a HEPA air purifier or a carbon air purifier, or consider the Hybrid line for cooking smells, VOCs and odors. Airfree recommends running the Hybrid capsules only when needed, for just 1 to 2 hours per day, so germs, mold and allergens reach the TSS core instead of being held in the capsules.

Silent, Stylish and Energy Efficient

Airfree air purifiers look unlike other products on the market, making them functional air purifiers that actually contribute positively to the aesthetic of the space in which they are located. Several models add a night light or color changing light, including the Iris 3000, Lotus and Tulip.

Best of all, they use about as much energy as a 60 watt light bulb (about 42 to 62 watts, depending on model), meaning they won't weigh heavily on your electric bill.

Choosing the Right Airfree Model

Airfree models cover various square footages, from 180 to 750 square feet:

• T800 - Up to 180 sq. ft., ideal for bathrooms, closets and pantries
• Airfree 1000 and Tulip - Up to 450 sq. ft.
• Airfree 2000 - Up to 550 sq. ft.
• Onix 3000, Iris 3000, Lotus and P3000+ PLUS - Up to 650 sq. ft., with Boost mode on the P3000+ PLUS for faster sterilization
• Elite Hybrid - Up to 750 sq. ft., with the Capsule System for odors and VOCs

Generally, don't undersize. As Airfree puts it, a higher capacity has a better performance, so choose a model rated for the full room it will sit in. Airfree works gradually, so just plug it in and let it do the job.

Airfree Air Purifier FAQs

Do Airfree air purifiers use filters?

The standard line uses no filters at all, so there is nothing to replace. The Hybrid line adds capsules with activated charcoal that adsorb odors and VOCs, and those capsules are replaced periodically.

Are Airfree air purifiers really silent?

Yes. Standard models have no fan and are completely silent. Models with fans, like Boost mode on the P3000+ PLUS or the Hybrid line, run at an extremely low level, around 20 dB.

Does Airfree produce ozone?

No. Airfree generates no ozone, no ions and no UV light, and independent tests in laboratories in Sweden showed it reduces ozone by 26%.

Will Airfree help with dust or heavy smoke?

The standard line is built for microorganisms and organic allergens. For dust, heavy smoke or chemical odors, pair Airfree with a HEPA or carbon air purifier, or ask us about the Hybrid line.

What size room does an Airfree cover?

Airfree models cover from 180 square feet (T800) up to 750 square feet (Elite Hybrid). Choose a model rated for the full room it will sit in.

What warranty comes with Airfree?

Airfree air purifiers come with a 2-year limited warranty. Each product page lists the details for that model.
