RabbitAir MinusA2 Ultra Quiet HEPA Air Purifier - Stylish, Efficient and Energy Star (SPA-780A, White, Toxin Absorber)

Product Information

Design:While it has one button to control everything, this air purifier still has plenty of settings. There are three fan speeds, the lowest of which acts as a night mode and a separate auto setting. There’s a light on the front to indicate the quality of the air and the button on top also acts as a filter replacement indicator. The only thing that’s really missing is a timer, so you can't set it and leave it, but otherwise you have everything you need. Inside, you will find a HEPASilent and carbon filter to deodorize. Multi-Function Air Purifiers: Some air purifiers double as humidifiers, fans, or even heaters, helping to replace multiple devices in a single appliance. To filter gasses, choose a portable air cleaner with an activated carbon filter or other filter designed to remove gasses," says Tim Carroll, EPA spokesperson. "Note that there are no widely used performance rating systems for portable air cleaners or filters designed to remove gasses. Activated carbon filters can be effective, provided that there is a large amount of material used in the filter." How often do I need to change my air purifier filter? People spend more than 90 percent of their time indoors, and indoor air can be two to five times more polluted than outdoor air,” says Kenneth Mendez, CEO and president of the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA). “Indoor air is made up of tiny particles—including animal dander, pollen, mold, dust mites, and fumes released by cooking, burning fuel, or cleaning products—that can trigger asthma and allergies. Air purifiers can improve your home’s indoor air quality by reducing indoor air pollution or removing airborne allergens.”

We love this air purifier for eliminating odors, especially after it left a damp, musty basement smelling fresh for the first time in a while. Leave it running on auto mode, and the particle and odor sensors will detect the pollutants in your air and adjust the fan speed accordingly. The RabbitAir BioGs 2.0 comes with four levels of filtration: a pre-filter that traps large particles; an activated carbon filter that effectively reduces smoke, odors, and VOCs; a BioGS HEPA filter that traps fine particles and prevents them from growing over time; and a negative ion generator that latches onto airborne particles where they can either be trapped in the filters or settle on the floor to be vacuumed. Yes. I would recommend this air purifier to anyone hoping to remove dust, pollen, and other irritants from one or two rooms. What alternatives are there? The Dyson stood up incredibly well over six months of testing at home. Despite running it 24/7 for months, we had no issues with it and it continued to perform as if it were brand new. It made such a difference in our old, drafty house that we didn't notice our allergies acting up anymore after using it for several months. The air purifier cut down on pet dander in the air, while the humidifier kept the air moist enough to decrease dry skin.The effectiveness of an air purifier can be measured by the CADR (Clean air delivery rate). This number reveals its performance depending on a particular room size. The higher the number, the better it is at clearing airborne particles and the more effective it is at cleaning a larger space too. According to Energy Star, the Dyson Purifier Cool works best in rooms around 125 square feet, which is about the size of the average bedroom. This means it's less suitable for larger areas of your home, like your living room or kitchen. We’re both enjoy[ing] much better sleep and the allergies are quite manageable now,” the review stated. Some modern air purifiers, such as the Blueair Health Protect 7470i, can be connected to the Wi-Fi and linked to an app on your smartphone. In doing this, you can control the air purifier remotely, including changing the fan speed or setting a schedule. For some air purifiers, the app will also breakdown the quality of the air and let you monitor it more precisely.

I liked that the RabbitAir purifier is incredibly quiet. To test how loud it is, I held a sound meter four feet from the unit and measured the ambient sound to get a good baseline. It was 38 decibels. Then, I tested the sound levels with the fan speed on low, and again, my sound meter registered 38 decibels, which makes the purifiervirtually silent. On low mode, we found that the Bissell Air400 Professional air purifier is whisper-quiet at just 40 decibels, though it can be a bit noisy when run on high (80 decibels). However, even on the low mode, it drastically reduced PM 2.5 levels in a room in under 10 minutes. Activated Carbon Filters: Activated carbon (or charcoal) filters are pieces of carbon treated to be very porous, which makes them ideal for filtering smoke or odors. They can absorb many contaminants in the air that HEPA filters cannot, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs). “Activated carbon filters remove odors and volatile organic compounds from the air, but do not have any specific particle removal efficacy,” says Melanie Carver, chief mission officer for the AAFA. According to Carver, everyday sources of VOCs include building materials such as paints, solvents, and varnishes, as well “electronic equipment, cleaning products, scented products (essential oils, air fresheners, candles, fragranced products), furniture, cooking and combustion (stoves, fryers, grills, fireplaces), and many other household products.” Oftentimes, activated carbon filters are used in conjunction with HEPA filters to trap both allergens and unwanted odors or contaminants. In general, you’ll want to replace activated carbon filters every three to six months. When allergy season arrives, the Rabbit Air A3 Ultra Quiet Air Purifier can help reduce symptoms in spades. This air purifier comes with a robust five-layer filter, including an activated carbon filter and a BioGS HEPA filter, to eliminate dust, dander, pollen, odors, and VOCs. You can even customize the filter you choose based on what your biggest concern is (Germ Defense, Pet Allergy, Toxin Absorber, or Odor Remover). This is a good option for living rooms, bedrooms, and office spaces up to 1,070 square feet.Many of us aren’t aware of the added costs when running an air purifier. Firstly, you should consider the cost of replacement filters, then there’s the energy needed to power the appliance on a regular basis. In terms of the filter replacement, some models are fitted with filters which can last for years, but can be very expensive to replace. Whereas others can be cheaper, but a replacement is needed much more often. To calculate the actual cost, you need to balance out the frequency of changing the filter with the cost per filter. OneLife’s new air purifier never needs its filter replaced if you really want to save! The Honeywell HPA300 might not be the prettiest to look at, but it’s straightforward to operate and will get the job done. Just keep in mind there’s no auto mode, and it’s not ideal in terms of noise or energy consumption. In general, you'll want to look for a purifier that uses a true high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter. During testing, we found that it was extremely effective against particles, VOCs (harmful gasses), and smoke in the air when running on both its low and high settings. When running for just 10 minutes at a time, we found that the Levoit Core 400S Air Purifier not only detected poor air quality levels but also made the air even cleaner than it had been prior to the test. Smoke, dust and pollen all represent alternate particle sizes and can help assess where the air purifier may excel or struggle. Smoke represents the smaller particles, accounting for 0.09-1.0 microns, while dust sits in the middle, from 0.5-3.0 microns. And pollen has a larger particle size of 0.5-11.0 microns.
