Our best selling model for General Odors: We strongly believe that the best available technology to remove general household odors is activated carbon. To learn more about activated carbon, click here. While almost all of our Austin Air and Airpura air purifiers contain activated carbon filters, certain models are better suited to odor reduction. The greatest factor in odor removal effectiveness is the volume of activated carbon present in the filter and the air processing rate of the system's fan. Since most of these systems will perform very well for general odor reduction, strong consideration should be given to models that perform best at removing secondary contaminants of concern. Of course, consideration should also be given to your budget, the size of room you wish to treat (air processing rate), the removal of other contaminants, and filter life. Our top choices are the Airpura C600 for general household odors and the Airpura T600 if odors due to tobacco smoke are also present.

Air passes through a 4-stage HEPA/carbon combination filter and is blown back out into your room using the Clean Air Pocket vent. This extensive filtration system cleans your air faster and more efficiently than conventional air purifiers, which means quicker relief from your symptoms. The HealthMate Plus and Plus Jr. Air Cleaner 4-stage combination filter includes: PERMAFILT Pre-Filter - During stage 1, air passes through a cotton PERMAFILT pre-filter, which captures particles easily seen by the naked eye, such as large dust and pet dander particles. Medium Particle Filter - Next, a medium particle filter traps small- to medium-size allergens, such as mold, pollen, and dust mites. Carbon Blend Filter – Next, air moves through a 15-pound activated carbon filter infused with natural zeolite and potassium iodide where heavy odors, chemicals, gases, fumes, and VOCs are absorbed and locked away.

Medical-Grade HEPA Filter - Lastly, air glides through 60 square feet of true medical-grade HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) material where it is scrubbed free of harmful bacteria and viruses as well as smaller pollen, mold, pet dander, dust, and ragweed particles. Overall, this long-lasting combination filter eliminates 99.97% of airborne pollutants that are 0.3 microns and larger, 95% of particles that measure 0.1 micron and smaller, and more than 3,000 types of toxic gases and odors.
