The IQAir HealthPro® Plus air purifier has been named the Best Air Purifier Overall by ConsumerSearch.com, adding to an already long list of first-place awards for the world’s most advanced air purifier.

ConsumerSearch.com based its award on the ability of the IQAir HealthPro Plus to provide high-performance air filtration for large rooms, for its superior odor and chemical removal and for effectively removing allergens.

The ConsumerSearch.com editors also rated the IQAir HealthPro Plus the best choice because, unlike many air purifiers, it does not emit ozone and is endorsed by medical groups.

“We take pride in being recognized again as the very best air purifier available,” said Glory Dolphin, CEO of IQAir North America. “This award continues to validate the simple idea that an air purifier should remove even the smallest airborne particles while doing no harm – such as adding ozone or ionization into the environment.”

The IQAir HealthPro Plus combines four advanced filtration technologies to effectively remove more than 99.5 percent of airborne particles, including especially harmful ultrafine particles down to 0.003 microns in diameter – the smallest particles that exist. Ultrafine particles are the easiest to inhale and are more quickly absorbed by the lungs than are larger particles. Studies have shown they increase the risk of heart attacks, strokes and respiratory problems.

In addition, the IQAir HealthPro Plus includes a granular activated-carbon adsorption and pelletized chemisorption cell to remove odors and eliminate toxic chemicals, providing effective gas, chemical and odor control for people with chemical sensitivities.

This combination of advanced filtration makes the IQAir HealthPro Plus a true medical-grade air purification system that has been used around the world in hospitals. Combined with an ultra-quiet “fan-in-center” design, intuitive user controls and a built-in intelligent filter life, the IQAir HealthPro Plus is the leading choice in air purification.
