 Industry Leading Warranty
When using any air purifiers, customers are always advised to clean the pre-filters regularly to extend the life of their HEPA filters, but when it comes to warranties for HEPA filters, no other company in the air purification industry can top the 5-year limited warranty Austin offers. For those people who are sensitive towards the use of chemicals in the air, Austin air purifiers from the ‘Plus’ line comes equipped with permafilt pre-filters and activated carbon and zeolite units, all aimed to help remove airborne chemicals, including dangerous and odorless ammonia and formaldehyde. The lighter weight models also contains the same filter but is made of woven cloth, hence not adding any extra weight to the unit.

The distinct advantage offered from these brands vary between the design of their products, technology, features, noise level, mobility, affordability and functionality.
Top Air Purifiers
- Products by IQAir like the Cleanroom Series and the HealthPro and Plus are developed with many features and functions like increased filter life, increased air delivery with lower noise, ideal for air purification in big spaces, equipped with a LCD panel for better handling and comes with a 5 years warranty. These purifiers are nonetheless expensive as they are high end purifiers. However, they are still a good buy to be used to keep the area safe from allergens and bacteria. Apart from that, they are also able to cover a huge area thanks to its sheer power.
- BlueAir‘s 402, 501 and 601 models are extremely quiet while in operation and all of them comes with a ten year warranty. These models are award-winning Swedish designs and will fit into any household with style. Built for extremely low energy consumption levels, they are also environmental friendly and do not hike your electricity bill up as well. The difference between IQAir and BlueAir is the huge gap in the costs. While IQAir’s products are aimed at the high end and heavy duty target, BlueAir is focused on affordability with style, mobility and the leisure of silence. Both products have their own merits and are aimed at different consumer needs.
Many other models of air purifiers are similar and bear the same if not less amount of features. When looking for air purifiers, the filtration system should be evaluated, in which long term replacement costs can be high as they need to be replaced periodically. Also, certain models do not require any external filters replacements, with only a wash with a hose required from time to time. Long term costs are important to consider as it may rack up a large amount of money in the long run, as opposed to its initial purchase.
