AirFanta 3Pro vs IQAir HealthPro Plus

“It depends on needs. The Airfanta 3 Pro is a cool idea because it’s simple and highly effective, but it doesn’t come with features or a carbon filter stock. This is basically a mini CR box that does an excellent job on particulate matter in the air. Blueair makes a number of nice units if you’re okay with the ionizer. With their sale prices, they offer a combination of high performance with well tuned noise and efficiency. Clean Air Kits offer great particulate filter options for people seeking low sound levels, decent performance, and cheap maintenance costs. Winix and Coway make feature rich air purifiers that are mostly reliable and well designed, they also include carbon filters for VOCs. Levoit makes nice air purifiers at certain price points. The Vital 200S is under $200 and offers decent performance and energy efficiency.”

“It really depends on what you're looking for. There is a review here: [https://housefresh.com/iqair-healthpro-plus-review/](https://housefresh.com/iqair-healthpro-plus-review/) The IQAir units focus on meeting a higher air purification standard, so their filters are excellent -- but expensive, and the thing is huge. Paying attention to the filter efficiency is only one part of how purification of a space; but it's the only part that's universally measurable. If you need \*the cleanest\* air and have \*all the money\* and have enough space for it, then the IQAir is a great choice for you. More recent work in room cleaning has shown that using lower-efficiency filters paired with higher volume air circulation is better for cleaning most rooms. It's also the case that several units that are smaller but placed around the room clean a space better than one large unit, when the cadrs are the same. For one IQAir, you could buy 5 purifiers from winix, levoit, blueair, or coway. One thing I notice about the IQAirs, is that the baffle on the top prevents air from shooting upwards. The housefresh test doesn't show it cleaning their test room any faster than the much cheaper, also hepa units. I think it's less effective at whole-room circulation.”
