It's bad enough that we have to suffer with many different sorts of pollution outdoors in our everyday life, but when this sort of contamination invades our homes, what we're often breathing can hardly be called fresh air any longer. Even though it may feel nice to stand in front of an air conditioner on a hot day, the indoor air you're breathing is probably not as refreshing as you might think. It's actually filled with indoor pollutants that may include radon, pet dander, dust mite allergens, tobacco smoke, mold spores and other particles. According to recent findings, indoor air is often more polluted than outdoor air.
So how do you get rid of these microbial nightmares and improve the quality of the air you breathe? The solution is simple: air purification technology.
For this NaturalNews review, I decided to take a look at high-end air purifiers currently on the market and the winner was above and beyond the HealthPro series by IQAir (www.iqair.com). Like other competing products, each model is advertised as ideal for those who suffer from allergies, asthma or who just want a more comfortable living environment. But built to last a lifetime as they claim? Now, I was getting a bit skeptical. So I bought one and tried it out to see.
By the way, as you probably already know, this is a truly independent product review. I have no financial relationship with the IQAir company, and I was not paid to write this article. I also earn nothing from the sale of IQAir products.
This is no mini air purifierAlthough the design looks nice and modern enough, it is still a big piece of sour eye candy that looms over a room like an out of place coffee table. The HealthPro series might be a little large for some rooms -- all the models are about the size of a mini-fridge. Even the HealthPro Compact unit takes up a good deal of space.
Designed for residential use, the HealthPro series of room air purifiers have a modular tower design and are available in several models including the HealthPro, the HealthPro Compact and the HealthPro Plus.
Here's how they work: The machine draws in air from below, at foot level, picking up airborne mites and dust in the process. It circulates the air inside the machine and filters particles and pollutants through a series of internal filters. The machine combines a total of four advanced filtration technologies to remove particles, pollutants, odors and allergens. Once purified, the air is released out of the top of the machine bringing clean air back into the room. Some HealthPro models don't have all four internal filters, so check the model details carefully in deciding which one might be right for you.
Six fan speeds are featured on every model in the series, which allows the user to choose the ideal performance level desired. Also included with each system is a remote control, a Programmable Control Panel and an Intelligent Filter Life Monitor. I really like the IQAir control panel because it gives you simple, accurate information about what the unit is doing while making it easy for you to control its operation. The LCD display tells you the cubic feet per minute (CFM) of air being drawn through the machine, and an LED light reminds you when to change the filter.
You can even set the unit to run on certain speeds at certain times of the day, so that, for example, it's running on a higher setting at night, but slows down during the day to reduce noise. (The fan in this IQAir unit is so strong that when you have it on the highest setting, it's really loud. Too loud to talk on the telephone nearby, actually.)
