ALLERAIR Airmed 3 Supreme Vocarb UV Air Purifier (ATAST2032231)

Product Review:

Overview

The AllerAir AirMed 3 Supreme Vocarb UV air purifier is a powerful and compact device designed for heavy-duty air filtration. It's well-suited for removing chemicals, VOCs (volatile organic compounds), odors, and particulates from the air. Some key features of this model include:

1. Filtration System: It uses a three-stage filtration system—a pre-filter, a Super-HEPA filter, and a carbon filter. The Super-HEPA filter is highly efficient, removing 99.99% of particles as small as 0.1 microns. The Vocarb filter is particularly effective at targeting VOCs and strong odors, making it ideal for people sensitive to chemicals.

2. UV Germicidal Lamp: There's an optional UV-C light feature that adds another layer of protection by neutralizing airborne pathogens like bacteria and viruses. However, it's worth noting that if you suffer from multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS), the UV feature might not be recommended due to its potential to emit trace amounts of ozone.

3. Coverage: This air purifier is suitable for spaces up to 640 sq. ft. at 2 air changes per hour (ACH) or smaller rooms at 4 ACH. It’s lightweight (about 25 lbs), making it portable for small areas like bedrooms, kitchens, or even RVs.

4. Durability and Costs: The carbon filter can last up to 5 years, while the HEPA filter may last up to 2 years. However, replacement costs for the filters can be high—between $53 and $219 depending on the model and filter type.

5. Noise and Power Consumption: It operates relatively quietly at lower speeds (around 40 dB), but the noise can increase to 60 dB at higher settings, which may be intrusive in quiet environments. The power consumption is also quite low, at 34 watts, translating to about $12 annually if run for 8 hours a day.

Overall, the AirMed 3 Supreme is an excellent choice if you need robust chemical and odor filtration in a compact, portable design, with the option for UV protection for added safety. However, it may be too noisy at high speeds and lacks smart features like a filter replacement indicator or timer.
