Oreck Air Purifiers use a five-stage purification process to clean the air. The diagram below illustrates the various purification stages. The five-stage purification process which Oreck uses effectively filters 95% of particles as minute as 0.1 microns. First, a pre-filter captures large particles such as hair, lint etc. Electricity is used to positively charge smaller particles, which are then locked in by the alternately charged plates of the collector cell.

The inlet grill draws in dirty air. In most HEPA air purifiers, a washable pre-filter traps larger particles. By definition, a HEPA filter removes at least 99.97% of all particles as small as 0.3 microns. HEPA air purifiers were originally developed by the Atomic Energy Commission to capture radioactive dust particles. Allergens such as pollen, animal dander, mold spores, and dust get trapped in the filter.

Air purifiers remove airborne particulate from the air. Air is drawn through the filter and particles are trapped in the filter system. The filtered air is then re-circulated back through your home.

These machines release negatively charged ions into the air, which are attracted to positively charged allergens and pollutants. These neutral particles then fall harmlessly to the ground where they can be vacuumed or dusted from furniture.

Many air purifiers now include a UV stage whereby the air and its contaminants are exposed to ultraviolet light after the HEPA and Carbon filtration process. UV light in the range of 185 nm to 265 nm is extremely effective in killing microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses by disturbing the DNA of the organism at the molecular level. The at-risk elderly and very young are typically the population for which UV air purifiers are purchased.

Air purifiers take out a lot of the pollutants from our air which can irritate allergies and asthma. These pollutants include airborne particulate as small as 0.3 microns and includes pollen, dust, pet dander, mold spores and smoke.

The manufacturer's warranty varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. They range from one to ten years. Each manufacturer's warranty is clearly marked on each individual product page.

Microban is used in air purifiers because it is an Antimicrobial agent used to treat an air purifiers HEPA filter. The protection provided by the Microban product prevents development of mold, bacteria or mildew growth on the filters surface which can cause bad odors. The life expectancy of your filter is not affected by the Microban.

Only certain ionizer air purifiers have ionizers built in. Unless the air purifier specifically states that it is has an ionizer it is more likely to use a mechanical filter instead.

Biozone? air purifiers make about the same amount of noise as the average computer fan, much less than a micro-wave or air conditioner, and slightly more than a toaster. Our air purifiers use a very quiet 3 speed fan, similar to a computer fan, this pulls enough air through the air purification chamber at a rate that creates optimum levels of purifying plasma. If sound level is an issue, select a slightly more powerful air purifier and run it at a lower speed.

Some air purifiers, such as the Blueair units, are extremely quiet, while others can be quite loud when operating at high power. If possible, ask for a demonstration before you buy your air purifier. Also, please see our Air Purifier Noise Graph.

We offer a wide variety of air purifiers designed to treat a number of indoor air quality problems. There are many factors to consider when shopping for an air purifier, but the main factor to consider is the type of pollution which you're trying to eliminate. See our Air Purifier Buying Guide for more information about what you should consider before buying and air purifier, and see our Air Purifier Comparison Chart for an in-depth look at the differences in our air purifiers.

Because Ultra-Pure uses advanced multi-stage air purification technologies including washable prefilters, HEPA filters, activated carbon, ultraviolet light, negative ions, titanium dioxide germicidal sanitizers and optional (on-off) ozone generation, we're able to filter or destroy a whole range of harmful airborne particles that old fashioned single-stage, or even 2-, 3- or 4-stage air purifiers, just can't match.

Biozone? air purifiers can remove contaminates down to .01 microns, much smaller than even the best medical grade hepa filter! Biozone? air purifiers are capable of removing hazardous chemical fumes, viruses, bacteria, germs, allergens, pet dander, cigarette smoke and fumes and almost anything you can imagine, from the air. This is a pretty bold statement. Maybe as bold as our 90 day money back guarantee!

Blueair air purifiers are extremely quiet and efficient. The filter media allows air to pass through freely so that the fan doesn't have to work as hard. A less powerful fan translates to less noise. Even the housing of the Blueair air purifiers is designed with quiet operation in mind, replacing sound-sonant plastic with noise-muffling steel. Each Blueair air purifier comes with patented HEPASilent Filter Technology which offers near silent air cleaning for any area of your home or office.

Blueair is the system for people living with allergies, asthma, or other respiratory conditions, or for anyone who wants cleaner, more breathable air.
