ALORAIRAir Scrubber | UV-C Light | Professional 3-Stage Filtration Negative Machine Air Purifier | HEPA Scrubber up to 750 CFM | Water Damage Restoration for Air Cleaner | PureAiro HEPA Pro 970

While I have had my share of air cleaners/air purifiers before, this Alorair air scrubber is the first one that made me truly impressed at its power vs its size.So what is an air scrubber? It is basically a really aggressive air purifier, typically used by disaster recovery companies after fires/floods or mold infestations to make air safer to work in or even just walk through.When we had a pipe burst at our office building and ServiceMaster came out to deal with it, they set up commercial dehumidifier like the Storm Pro I recently reviewed https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0863Y61KN/they should have also added a few of these air scrubbers to help improve the air quality and reduce mold growth but they didn't and mold took over because they skipped using these. It is one thing to take water out of the air like a dehumidifier does, but you also need to collect and kill the bad stuff in the air as well.Now you are likely thinking "but my dehumidifier has an air filter so I don't need this".That would be incorrect. While the nicer dehumidifiers do have some air filtration, they aren't HEPA quality which means they capture some of the bad stuff but pass through a lot of it along with mold and viruses.Here is a tip: If you don't have a UV-C light, you aren't killing mold and viruses so they can continue to not only exist but grow (including on your HEPA filter).If you don't have a HEPA level filter, a lot of stuff sneaks through the air purifier.And improve the quality of your room's air, you need the air purifier to really move the air around. Most people have air purifiers in their homes and offices that are simply too small to handle the space they are used in. That means they help improve the air quality but not as much as they should be.While having an UV-C light (which kills mold and viruses) is always important (I will not purchase another unit without it) right now with CO-VID 19, even the best HEPA filters don't stop it. HEPA filters grab items as small as 0.3 microns while CO-VID 19 are 0.125 microns or smaller. Without a UV-C light, you are doing nothing to viruses.This unit is heavy, it is loud at its highest setting and it is expensive but it is all of those things for very good reasons. When you turn it on it sounds more like an HVAC air handler than a fan or an air purifier. That speaks to the quality of the unit. It has a dial that allows you to adjust the air volume to your needs--using this in an empty building, turn it on high. If you are using this in your home, you can turn it on low which is a lot quieter.With the volume of air this unit filters and moves, you would expect the case to shake or vibrate but it is solid as a rock and just sits there doing its thing.While you do have to purchase replacement filters and bulbs during its lifespan, they are cheaper than many of the small residential filters because Alorair doesn't seem to be keen on ripping you off but instead keeping you happy and coming back for other needs.I have commeiral purifiers that are louder than this unit but they move a lot less air through so you aren't get the cleaning power or reach of a unit like this.I highly recommend anyone running a business or office right now to think about investing in some of these to reduce the flu, CO-VID 19 and your legal liability compared to doing nothing. When one of your employee's or customers gets sick, you want to be able to say you did everything you could to prevent that from happening or you could be on the hook for millions in damages if they end up dying or giving it to someone who ends up dying.So stock up on hand sanitizer, face masks and a few of these units to save lives and reduce the chance of having people get sick from YOUR dirty air.

We live in a multi dog household of 12 Golden Retrievers and after buying many different kinds of air purifiers, we realized we needed industrial grade. This works great! Helps clean the air of that musty dog smell and danders. The only thing is, it is a bit loud. So we have it on low when we are home and turn it on high when we leave the house, otherwise we’d give it 5 stars. Finally, money well spent!

First impressions are very good. I am a general contractor and have worked in the water/fire damage industry for several years. Well built and engineered. I wish I would have ordered 6 instead of 1 on prime business day.

I use it as a primary HEPA for my bedroom. It cleans the air during the day and I turn it off at night. It has helped my sleep by reducing the allergens in the air. Sure, there are cheaper options but this is like the pro level and I can actually notice a difference. The cheaper "home" use models at the local box store are just pretend HEPA filters in comparison. Note: the wind movement is louder than you expect so be prepared.

Much cheaper than renting (same unit). While we will be working with a mold remediation company to finish the rather extensive work necessary, this got us started and allowed us to stay in our home safely. The mold remediation company was so impressed they asked if we would sell them to them when we are done.

works well. enclosure seems rugged. in general, seems like a good design. the fan is a bit loud on high, but that is to be expected. also, watch out for qc issues. our unit is missing a screw on the control panel. also, the hour meter does not work. if you look at the attached photo you will see it was not hooked up. the wire wasn't lose; it doesn’t exist (there is no wire to provide power).

This now is part of the room and is functioning daily for a heavy allergic person in the house. It makes a huge difference when on or not.
