5 things air purifier companies DON'T
...want you to know
The purpose of this video is to
save you money by helping you find the
right air purifier for your needs
before I cover the 5 problems it's important
to know that most air purification has been
around about 40 years
Most consumers report not knowing
which air purifier tech meets their needs
Most pay too much for the wrong air purifier
The first air purifier problem is non replacement filter air purifiers
don't work well
The idea sounds great: ......
"You never have to change the filter"
Just wash the filters.
But it doesn't capture dust or pollen as well as HEPA
Hepa filters simply work better since they
capture and hold the pollen
If you've ever seen a dirty HEPA you will
know what I mean. Hepa is a must
if you have allergies or asthma
Air Purifiers without hepa just don't do a
good job
the remedy for this problem is simply
find one with an affordable replacement
hepa filter. Some companies charge too
much which brings me to...
#2 Replacement filters are usually
overpriced. In japan people buy extra filters
to get a better price and to be prepared
for when they have to change the HEPA filter
Americans don't think ahead and end up
paying alot more for the HEPA filters
Look for HEPA filters that are under $45
It's a lot like buying an ink jet printer...
....you buy the printer for $100 and then the
replacement cartridge costs $30
So overcharging for HEPA filters is common
So check out the HEPA cost first
You'll change it every 6-9 months
Hint: Buy an extra one when you purchase
The air purifier so they can ship it in the
same box, or even offer a discount
#3 Fanless air purifiers won't move air
The Ionic and ionic breeze from TV was
an example - no fan which saves electricity
but doesn't clean that well
So avoid the purely Ionic air purifiers
They also produce ozone if there are too
many plates (hint: Oreck XL is one)
Make sure the fan motor is strong and yet
quiet when you want to sleep with it on
Brushless motors are the quietest ones
Sometimes the air purifier will offer specs
on volume - look for under 24 decibels for
a quiet volume for sleep
#4 It won't do the square footage on the box
First - square footage is based
on an empty room
so it's usually less than what's on the box
Changes per Hour - or CPH - is how many
times it cleans all the air in a room each hour
What you want is 3-4 times per hour -
especially if you have asthma or allergies
unfortunately on the box it doesn't say
I called the leading TV infomercial air purifier
company whose new tower says 1100 sq.ft.
But it only does it once per hour.
You have to ask
There is some cool new Japanese air
purifier sensors that detect pollen, odor,
and dust. Saves electricity and helps get
rid of allergies
You can see them at aliveair.com
It prevents allergy and asthma by detecting
and removing the allergens
#5 Avoid Infomercial Air Purifiers
Having worked on infomercials I know that the
Markup on infomercial products is very high
which means they have to skimp on the
filters they put into the machine
They often leave out UV (Hunter, Oreck)
Or leave out HEPA (Oreck)
So the air purifiers aren't complete
Look for 4-5 technologies starting with HEPA
also get UV and negative ions
A good prefilter, a quiet motor, and you can
even get all this for less than the ones on TV
The AliveAir.com model has 9 Technologies
and it's less than $300 - a great price
plus it has the new sensors and covers
over 800 square feet.
Only sold online it saves you money
It now has a 5 Year warranty - amazing
Hepa, pre-filters and negative ions are
great for allergies, asthma and some odors
Carbon, and charcoal is good for absorbing
odors, chemicals and protecting immunity
UV, Tio2 and plasma or electrostatic is
good for germs, viruses and immunity
Fortunately you can now get ones with all
all 9 technologies.
The one I like is the AliveAir purifier which
has hepa, UV, Tio2, Prefilter, Carbon
Negative ions, electrostatic and also has the
new pollen, odor and dust sensors
