The Airpura V400 is an excellent air purifier focused on reducing chemicals (VOCs) and particulate matter in small spaces. Its enhanced special-blend carbon adsorbs VOCs and specific chemicals, together with True HEPA for particles. A 3-speed fan lets you balance airflow and dwell time. Coverage of 2 ACH for 1,000 sq. ft. (depending on model and speed).
The Airpura V400 and V414 are compact, high-powered air purifiers built to reduce airborne chemicals, VOCs, gases, and odors along with fine particles. Each unit holds 8 lbs of Airpura's enhanced, impregnated carbon blend, which adsorbs a wider range of VOCs and specific chemicals than standard activated carbon. That makes the V-series a strong choice for bedrooms, nurseries, home offices, and other smaller spaces where chemical sensitivity is the main concern. Both models cover up to 1,000 sq. ft. at 2 air changes per hour (ACH), depending on fan speed, and run as quiet as 32 dB on low.
Airpura V400: Enhanced Carbon with True HEPA
The V400 pairs 8 lbs of enhanced carbon with a 40 sq. ft. medical-grade True HEPA filter that captures 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. It's a balanced choice for households that want strong chemical and VOC reduction plus dependable protection from dust, pollen, pet dander, and mold spores.
Airpura V414: Enhanced Carbon with H14 Super HEPA
The V414 uses the same enhanced carbon bed, all-metal housing, and 395 CFM motor as the V400, but upgrades the particle filter to an H14 Super HEPA that captures 99.99% of particles as small as 0.1 microns. We recommend the V414 for allergy and asthma sufferers, mold concerns, fine smoke particles, and anyone with Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS) who wants the highest level of particle capture alongside chemical reduction.
V400 vs. V414: What's the Difference?
The only difference between the two units is the particle filter. Everything else, including the housing, motor, pre-filter, and 8 lbs of enhanced carbon, is the same.
V400 – Medical-grade True HEPA (99.97% at 0.3 microns). A great fit for chemical and VOC concerns with typical household particles.
V414 – H14 Super HEPA (99.99% at 0.1 microns) for a higher level of particle capture. Best when fine particles matter as much as chemicals.
Both models use the same pre-filter and carbon filter. The 414 H14 HEPA filter also fits the V400, so you can upgrade to Super HEPA later if your needs change.
Balanced Protection Against Chemicals and Particles
Carbon and HEPA do different jobs. The carbon bed adsorbs VOCs, gases, and odors, while the HEPA filter captures particles like mold spores, pollen, and pet dander. The V400 and V414 give you both in one compact unit, with the same filtration quality and configuration as Airpura's larger V600 and V614. The variable-speed motor lets you set airflow for longer dwell time in the carbon bed, which improves VOC adsorption.
Sizing Your V400 / V414
At high speed, the V400 / V414 delivers about 2 air changes per hour in 1,000 sq. ft. with 8-foot ceilings. The number of air changes you need varies widely, and there are many rules of thumb. For example, clients with allergies or asthma often aim for 3–7 ACH, while areas with heavy VOCs or smoke may even call for 10–12 ACH. The right number for you depends on what the contaminant is, how heavy it is, how quickly it's coming in, how much filtration you want, and your own sensitivities.
When VOCs are your main concern, size the unit on medium speed so air passes through the carbon more slowly, and make sure it can clean the air faster than the source adds to it. You can check your own room with our Air Changes per Hour Calculator, or contact us, and we'll help you find the right fit. If your main concern is general particles and household odors rather than specific chemicals, the Airpura R400 & R414 uses standard activated carbon at a lower price.
If you're aiming for more air changes in a small space, it may be tempting to choose a 700-series unit. In very small areas, though, a 700 can sometimes create a vortex effect. That means the unit can draw its own clean air back in instead of moving air through the whole room. To reduce that risk, we recommend more than one V400 / V414 or a V600 instead.

Specifications
The Airpura V400 and V414 are two separate units built on the same compact, all-metal platform. Both pair 8 lbs of Airpura's enhanced, impregnated carbon blend for VOCs, specific chemicals, gases, and odors with high-efficiency particle filtration. The difference is the particle filter: the V400 uses a True HEPA filter, and the V414 uses an upgraded H14 Super HEPA filter for a higher level of particle capture.

Locations near agricultural operations
These are just some of the uses for this unit. Many contaminants are a good fit for more than one unit, so if you\'d like help finding the best one for your needs, please contact us.
Many factors come into play when choosing an air purifier, including the contaminants, coverage (enough air changes for the level of off-gassing), how quickly things are off-gassing, particulate matter, and your own sensitivities. The uses above are suggestions. Air purification isn\'t a black-and-white science, and things outside our control, like humidity or where the unit is placed, affect results. We wish there were one unit for every need, but there are always trade-offs, like sound versus power and budget versus filtration.
Do not hesitate to ask, especially if your contaminant levels are high.
Airpura Difference
Unique Features that make Airpura Different than Many Air Purifying Companies
All Metal Housing - No plastic vapors are emitted
Motor out of the air flow - Many air purifiers blow the clean air over the motor and pick up impurities
Electrical parts in a sealed chamber away from the airflow - Increases safety and prevents off-gassing
Fan/Motor CFM (PreFilters): 395 CFM
Delivered CFM (PostFilters): 40 CFM on low, 200 CFM on medium, and on high 260 CFM. CFM will vary with different configurations.
Variable speed control - Offers you flexibility
Proper contact times for effective filtration - Correctly calibrated air flow / bed depth for efficient adsorption
Pressure sealed filter chamber - Unique pressure seal on the filter chamber ensures all contaminants are filtered and cannot escape
Warranty on Residential Units: 5 yrs parts and 10 years labor
Warranty on Industrial/Commercial Units: 2 yrs parts and 5 years labor
Made In: Canada
Neoprene gasket seal the filter chamber - Maximize filtration with no rubber off-gassing
Clean modern appearance - Fits in any decor
Low noise level - 32 db on low at 6 ft and 52.0 on high
SuperiorDwell Time: The 395 CFM impeller/motor combined with the variable speed control and unimpeded airflow of the Airpura 400 series allows the airflow to be set precisely and achieve maximum results.
The 4-series allows our clients not only to enjoy the same high-quality filtration as the 7-series configurations but just in a smaller, compact unit.
Download the Airpura Activated Carbon Adsorption Ratings (PDF) – These ratings are for standard activated carbon against common chemicals and VOCs. Not every tested compound is listed, so if you have a specific concern, contact us, and we\'ll check with Airpura\'s chemist. The V400 / V414 uses Airpura\'s enhanced, impregnated carbon blend, so its adsorption ratings are higher than those shown. Other impregnated-carbon units include the V600, C600DLX, F600, and F600DLX.
Download the Airpura KCL Test Report (PDF) – Testing was performed on the Airpura 600 series with standard activated carbon. Units with impregnated carbon, including the V400 / V414, perform even better.
