Everything you need to make the call - who each one is for, and who should skip it.
Go for it if you...
You or someone in your household has severe allergies, asthma, or needs protection from ultrafine particles including viruses
You want CARB-certified, ozone-free air cleaning with no ionizer compromise
You're placing this in a bedroom or smaller living area and won't rely on the 1125 sq ft marketing claim
The $650 purchase price and ~$650/year filter commitment fit your budget
Quiet overnight operation (25 dBA) is a priority
Fast particle clearance matters most — wildfire smoke, pet allergens, or dust — and you want it in a quiet, steel machine
You're placing this in a bedroom and quiet operation is a priority above all else
You want CARB-certified assurance on ozone safety with a high-CADR machine
You understand the chemical filtration limitations and have separate strategies for VOC control
The main thing to know
This is a best-in-class filter in an unverified-plastic housing — an uncomfortable combination for buyers who want complete transparency about what's running in their child's room.
At $398/year in filter replacements, total five-year ownership cost exceeds $3,100 — significantly more expensive than it appears at the $1,199 sticker price.
Skip this if you...
You need independently certified CADR — IQAir doesn't participate in AHAM Verifide testing
Housing material transparency is a non-negotiable (Austin Air's all-steel housing is the alternative)
Filter maintenance costs above $150/year are a dealbreaker
You need to cover a room larger than ~450 sq ft at AHAM-standard air change rates
Chemical sensitivities or VOC off-gassing is your primary concern — 1 lb of carbon is insufficient for heavy chemical loads
The $398/year filter cost is a budget strain — over five years this is a $3,100+ product
You need to cover more than 600-700 sq ft — the 1,600 sq ft coverage claim is not achievable at meaningful air-change rates
Neither of these quite what you're looking for?

Not necessarily. The overall score reflects how we weight those three pillars, but your priorities may differ. If you care most about safety, compare the safety scores directly.
