Rabbit Air’s CERTIFIED asthma & allergy friendly® air purifier ranks as one of the best air purifiers in The Strategist’s category of best quiet air purifier
The Rabbit combines comparatively high coverage range with an ultraquiet noise level. This purifier has a six-stage HEPA filtration system, including filters that remove odors and a charcoal-based activated-carbon filter. Built-in odor and particle sensors activate the machine to operate at higher speed only when it senses the air needs purifying. And when it does, a specialized motor design keeps the unit quiet. We like that you can mount the purifier on the wall easily, but can also stand it up in a corner, so it’s suitable for most types of homes.Single HEPA-filter replacements start at $45. Carver points out that the Rabbit is one of those certified as asthma- and allergy-friendly by the AAFA and Allergy Standards Limited (ASL), the latter of which rigorously tests air purifiers for certification. If you want to have more control over when and how its purification is triggered, spend an extra $20 on top of the $599.99 price for the Wi-Fi-enabled version, which allows you to schedule sessions through an associated app so your home is purified for when you return from work.
Many allergens, including pet dander and dust mite allergen, are prone to become airborne. Effective air purifiers are part of a multi-faceted approach to allergen reduction in the home. In order for an air cleaner to earn the asthma & allergy friendly® Certification, strict standards for appropriate levels must be met when:
- Reducing allergens from the air
- Monitoring allergen levels after use to ensure reduction of allergens is a result of removal, not just redistribution
- Monitoring ozone levels to ensure they remain within the Code of Federal Regulations Guidelines.
