Thanks for explaining all 9 technologies. So since Oreeck is just electrostatic plates, and ecoquest is ozone, how does IQair and austin air measure up?

AliveAir January 17, 2009 at 12:45 pm

The IQAir and Austin are primarily HEPA air purifiers/ They are well made, but very expensive ($600-1200) for HEPA alone (plus expensive replacements). I’d look at the aliveair for $349 which has 3 times more technology and includes a large HEPA.

What do you think of the IQ machines?? They’re $900 and this one I see is $299 on sale

As an engineer in the field for industrial/commercial applications.

Other than # of technologies in a unit, you need to look at the interactions between them and the performance of each one.

For example, UV lamp will need a well designed reflector in order to work effectively (Exposure period + intensity). HEPA filter will need to have a good seals around the filter to prevent the bypass (Although 99.9% rated for the filter but it will be useless if 20% of the air bypasses the filter)

I watched all your videos.. thanks for the help

Thanks for watching

Thanks for the info.. The use of Tio2 magnifies the effect and exposure of UV light – up to 1,000 times. The whole bypass idea around HEPA (“the “leaking seal conspiracy”) is something that in my 30 years is more of a marketing ploy than anything. I haven’t seen even the cheap units “leak”.

and greetings Thailand! I was just there last year before going to China where I looked at air products and manufacturing

AliveAir July 14, 2009 at 2:02 pm

Thanks back at ya

AliveAir July 14, 2009 at 2:04 pm

Very well -made, a bit pricey ($800-1200) for a HEPA and Carbon Canister machine, and no UV or germ killing ability. That’s why I took on this unit…

So many air purifiers around, so many choices.. this video helped alot.. Thanks

i just bought a oreck xl proshield. is that model any good. it was hella expensive. did i just throw away money? ALiveAir guy please give me a suggestion. should i return it and get a different one?

AliveAir January 24, 2010 at 6:37 pm

The factory in China that makes the Oreck revelaed that they charge Oreck $37 for making it. The marketing on the oreck is well done, and very expensive. I personally don’t endorse it for the money, and no HEPA for dust…sorry!!!!!!

texasgogetter04 March 24, 2010 at 5:46 am

I have found myself doing al hell of alot more dusting in my apartment than ever. I got dust build up everyday in my house and im a neat clean freak. I hate it. Will this machine help me breath better and clear up the dust in my apartment? Please help i have mt best friend living with me (american bulldog) and he does alot of moving around and playing but im fed up with the dust.

AliveAir March 25, 2010 at 6:23 pm

Thanks for the question. .. If you run a good HEPA air purifier (like this one) on high you’ll see a good reduction in dust. However the dog running around might actually help, since he’s stirring up the dust on the floor into the air. This might help the purifier fan draw it in ( p.s. please let the dog know he can send me a check for that comment.. wink-wink!)
