The house smells of itself, and it has done since the week the work finished.

New cabinets, fresh paint, a new mattress, a new build, or one chemical nobody else notices. You opened the windows and it came back, because it is coming out of the material itself. That is a gas, and a gas needs carbon.

How to choose on this shelf

  • Name the chemical if you can. Airpura F600 is built around formaldehyde. Airpura C600 is the general chemical blend. Austin Air Immunity Machine runs an eight phase filter for VOCs and formaldehyde.
  • Carbon weight sets how long it lasts, not whether it works. 12 lb in an Airpura 400, 26 lb in a 600 or 700, and AllerAir fills its Pro 5 and Pro 6 with Vocarb and Exec blends.
  • If you react to machines, go to the odor free carbon. The Airpura G line and the AllerAir AirMedic Pro 5 MCS exist for that, and AllerAir sells a carbon sample kit so you can test six blends at home first.

Not for: a guarantee on your chemical. A buyer said it best: no VOC filter handles every VOC, they do well with some and partly control others.

Name the chemical and we will name the blend. Chat with an expert or email sales@purifierhaven.com.

How to choose in four steps

  • 1. Room size

    Measure the room, then match the sq ft

    Length times width. Match that to the sq ft in the product name. Go one size up for open plan rooms or high ceilings.

    Under 400 sq ft: bedroom or office. 400 to 999: living room. 1000 plus: a whole floor.

  • 2. The concern

    Match the filter to the problem

    Allergies, dust and pet dander call for HEPA. Smoke, cooking and chemical smells call for a real bed of activated carbon. For mold and mildew, look at the HEPA air scrubbers, some add UV on top.

    Use the What it is for filter to narrow the list.

  • 3. Noise

    Bedrooms want under 25 dB on low

    The lowest speed is the one that runs all night. The quietest unit here starts at 16.5 dB on its lowest speed. Air scrubbers built for job sites run over 60 dB on high and belong in a basement or garage.

    The Noise filter uses the lowest speed figure the maker publishes, or its only published figure where that is all it gives.

  • 4. Running cost

    Check the filter price and how often it changes

    A cheaper unit with a filter every 6 months can cost more over 3 years than a pricier one changed once a year.

    Where the maker publishes them, the product page shows the filter price and change interval.
