STEP 3 is to rate air purifiers against each other, brand against brand. On this page you will find brands I-Z.
Each review shows an overall rating score from 0 low to 100 high. Here is the criteria I use to rate air purifiers. Go directly to my air purifier review top 10 page.
Brands I to Z
Ionic Pro:
Ionic Pro was formulated for the infomercial age. The Sylmark Group was founded in 1998. They have sold nearly 3 billion of products using the TV. Ionic Pro is mainly marketed through “long-form” infomercials. You know the ones; they tend to grab your attention. These infomercials appeal to a vast audience for one reason, they use a proven marketing strategy. The products vary from great to good to marginal. It doesn’t matter; they can all be sold if they fit and use the right marketing strategy. Ionic Pro is also sold on the Web and has landed at many big box retail stores. They are look-a-like versions of the popular Sharper Image and Oreck air purifiers. Priced right, but unfortunately marginal for cleaning the air, they serve the lower end of the air purifier market. Rate Air Purifiers. I currently have four reviews posted: Therapure 100 Germicidal Air Sanitizer, Purepro Professional, Ionic Pro, and the Ionic Pro Turbo.
IQAir:
The IQAir Company was founded about 40 years ago by two German brothers. Based in Switzerland, IQ does in-house research, development, manufacturing, and marketing. They offer residential and commercial solutions including larger custom commercial projects. I currently have four reviews posted: the HealthPro Plus, the HealthPro, the HealthPro Compact, and the GC MultiGas. IQ is high on quality and high on detail. They are a top Brand.
NQ
NQ Industries founded in 1993. They currently have a product line that is for hospitals and larger industries. They also have a residential/ small commercial line of products. Their focus is on commercial applications and the residential models they offer appear very “commercial” in nature. Very heavy duty. They are marketed online and through dealerships. Rate Air Purifiers. I currently have two reviews posted: NQ Clarifier with UV Sterilization and the NQ Clarifier Medical Air Defense System.
Oreck:
The Oreck Company got its start in Vacuum Cleaner sales in 1963. David Oreck still runs the company at 84 as I write this; an inspiration. Oreck seems to be everywhere on the TV, Radio, and Internet. Maybe it’s the market I’m in, but I hear/see their advertising often. They have sold several different purifiers for quite a few years. I currently have two reviews posted: the Oreck XL Tabletop Professional and the Oreck XL Tower Professional. Oreck is definitely high on marketing and making the transaction easy, but their purifiers are worth a look as well.
Panasonic<h/3>
Panasonic got its start in Japan in 1918 when founder Konosuke Matsushita invented a two-socket light fixture. Today Panasonic is one of the world’s leaders in consumer electronics. They appear to have stepped back from their air purification line as of late, but may or may not introduce new models as time goes on. Their current models are still available on the internet, but signs point to them being discontinued. They are basic purifiers with some electronic gadgetry. The electronics are nice, but a better air cleaning technology would be nicer. I currently have three reviews posted: F-P10HU1 HEPA, F-P15HU2 HEPA, and the F-P20HU1 HEPA.
Pionair
Pionair is a newcomer to the air purification industry having started business in 2004. They have a few endorsements including: The Townsend Letter, Health & Wellness Magizine, and The Healthy Living Magazine. In addition, the Pionair is recommended in the New York times best-selling book, The Maker’s Diet. Rate Air Purifiers. I currently have three reviews posted: 350/Smart Pointe 350, 750/Smart Pointe 750, and the 1500/Pionair Smart Pointe 1500.
Rabbit Air
All Rabbit Air Reviews
Rabbit Air started business in 2001. They have a partner ship with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. They have products of excellent quality and provide excellent technical information and support. You will find them at a few select electronic retailers in the USA as well as online direct and from a handful of authorized online retailers. I currently have three reviews posted: Minus A2 AP-1004, BioGS SPA-582A, and the BioGS SPA-421A.
Secure Air/Safe Air:
All Secure Air/Safe Air Reviews
Secure Air has been involved in the air purifier industry for just over three years. They are also marketed under the Safe Air Brand. They are an Ohio based company with manufacturing occurring in China. You can find their products at a few big box stores and online. Both models focus on killing and disabling microorganisms, but miss the mark on cleaning much else. They also offer scent cartridges in the larger model, which totally defeats the purpose of cleaning the air. Interestingly enough, the 1200 model is the first throw away model I have encountered that is not a plug-in. Rate Air Purifiers. I currently have two reviews posted: Secure Air 1200 and the Secure Air 3500.
Shaklee
Shaklee was started in 1956 as a nutrition company by Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee Sr. Shaklee currently has a full line of natural products including vitamins, minerals, diet products, cleaning products, and personal products. They are also in the air and water business, but I think it is one step away from their main focus. With that said, they did work with RGF Environmental Group to design their air purifiers. RGF is a leader in several forms of air and water purification mainly in the commercial and custom design arenas. Shaklee uses the network marketing business model and to get products you need to work with a distributor or become a distributor. Products may become available from time to time on eBay as well. Rate Air Purifiers. I currently have two reviews posted: AirSource 3000, and the AirSource Mobile.
Sharp:
Tokuji Hayakawa started Sharp at age 19 in the year 1912. He owned a small metal working shop that grew and changed over the years to one of the world ‘s largest manufacturers of consumer electronics. These models are available on the internet and from other Sharp partners. They are one of the few mainline purifiers that offer positive and negative ionization with their Plasmacluster technology. I currently have five reviews posted: KC-C150U, KC-C100U, Plasmacluster FP-P60CX and FP-P40CX, and the FP-P35CX.
Sharper Image:
The Sharper Image Company got its start as a specialty gadget catalog company in 1977. The company now has over 180 stores, the monthly catalog, website, as well as business to business incentive programs. Their air purifiers have remained a large part of their overall business even though they have had some ups and downs with them over the years. Rate Air Purifiers. I currently have six reviews posted: Hybrid GP Germicidal, Ionic Breeze GP Silent, Ionic Breeze Quadra Silent, Ionic Breeze Tabletop, Ionic Breeze Air Freshener 2.0, and the Ionic Breeze Air Freshener for Bathrooms.
Surround Air:
All Surround Air Reviews. The Surround Air Company is a division of Indoor Purification Systems, Inc. located in Layton, UT. They started business in 1998. They distribute mainly on the internet through their website. They appear to have a solid business in Mexico as well. They offer purifiers that have multiple technologies at affordable prices. They are a mid-level brand. Rate Air Purifiers. I currently have eight reviews posted: Multi-Tech S2000/S3000/S4000, Intelli-Pro XJ-3800, N-Lite 5000, XJ-2100UV, XJ-202 Plug-In, and XJ-800 for Vehicles.
