Product review: iqair HealthPro air purifier is a robust, high-end air filter for home or office Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

For this NewsTarget 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.

With prices currently ranging from $689 to $835, the iqair units are certainly not cheap. If you're willing to spend the money and care enough about the air you breathe, however, this system seems well worth the price of admission. Of course, you have to be able to afford the unit in the first place. It is more like an investment in your future than an everyday appliance you can take for granted. But what if you don't believe that the HealthPro series is worth its price tag?

In the future, I hope to find and review other air filter products that may be cheaper and still effective, but in the mean time, this high-end iqair unit earns my recommendation.

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.

I also earn nothing from the sale of iqair products. This is no mini air purifier Although 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.

Use house plants as a natural air purifier. According to NASA, the plants that are most effective in removing formaldehyde, benzene, and carbon monoxide from the air are: bamboo palm, Chinese evergreen, English ivy, gerbera daisy, Janet Craig, mar-ginata, mass cane/corn plant, mother-in-law's tongue, pot mum, peace lily, and Warneckii. ¦ Try to avoid wall-to-wall carpeting, as this collects dust, lint, mold, and other environmental toxins brought from the outside by shoes. Area rugs, preferably organic, that can be easily laundered, are the best. ¦ Avoid the use of pesticides.
