@saggysack89 umm viruses are alive. They contain DNA. They just cant reproduce with out taking over a hosts cells. It is considered a single celled organism. So I am confused by your statement.
Does it make noise? I'm using Ionic Breeze, no noise, no filter but doesn't eliminate bacteria, fungus, etc., Wild Oil of Oregano P-73 does that. That song playing in your video drove me bonkers for several years, no kidding! I taped it on the way back from the beach. It took years to find the name of it "Are You Going With Me" by Pat Methany. A kid putting up posters at the 100th record store I visited to try find the name of the tune, gave me his copy because the store didn't have it.
hi i use incense all the time... i notice you said not to use plug ins and candles and fabreeze, so does incense also do something as well... just got mine in today, wanna make sure i use it right.
I could barely get through the whole video because of the musak playing in the back...very kitch/cheap...would be better without any music and a camera that can focus better...
But for the part about the actual product, it all sounds and looks good.
The machine has impressive specs. It makes me wonder though what modern societies do to the air we breathe, because what the machine does basically is convert air to what it should have been without too much harmful human intervention.
How can you say Ions are what give you energy? and refreshed ? I have dificulty breathing with an ionizer. I tried an ionizer and the next morning my chest felt like a cynder block,very heavy. My doctor said it was the ionizer.
Don't get me wrong, I would love to have your product and I believe it works but not every body gets refreshed from ions and I heard you say that. The machine I tried was just an ionizer so it may have been just to strong.
It wasn't the negative "ions" that caused the breathing problem, it was the "ozone" that some "ionizers" create.
DEFINITION: An "Ionizer" is an air purifier with washable plates that creates positive and negative ions. These plates often create Ozone (byproduct of the + charged plates).
DEFINITION: A "Negative ion generator" (no plates) produces negative ions only.
NEGATIVE IONS: Abundant in nature. Used for asthmatic babies via research done in Europe/Russia. Measure of healthy air.
@AliveAir This is an important remark you made: negative ions enhance the bodies ability to absorb oxygen. Negative ions can be produced by transducers vibrating at ultrasonic frequencies (such as in some types of pond foggers).
i think i might get one for my mother.. she's been having problems sleeping and always sick... so i should get her something nice... but she prolly wants jewellery with diamonds andstuff.. LOL yeah right = n=;;
To kill mold I would suggest borrowing someones Ozone machine (Ecoquest, etc.) or getting a good negative ionizer and UV (not as fast as ozone). To capture the drywall dust you're going to want a HEPA filter (because the particles are small). This machine (in the video) has UV, negative ions and a good-sized HEPA but if there is a lot of mold I don't "play around" - get Ozone. Crank it up. Get out of the room (ozone can irritate lungs. Air the room out after for 3-4 hours).
These units are fantastic, i use 2 in a old bedroom converted to a clean room. I have done open air transfers of cultures on agar with no contaminations so far... that means the spore count in the room, which is not completely sterilized, in house that is even dustier, is very low. If I had a meter i would measure this.
I realized shortly after plugging the unit in, that I had never smelled clean air before, it was invigorating.
One more question -- forgive me if it's already been answered in the string below... Does the Alive Air purifier produce even small amounts of ozone? I'm not clear on this.
All appliances, and air purifiers with Motors or electronics, produce some minute ozone (TV's, computers, refrigerators included). So the answer is next to zero, and completely safe. Some air purifiers hoever do use Ozone to clean, and produce a lot more ozone. This one doesn't (sorry if I "overexplained")
What's the best way to measure the square footage of a room, and what if the room we want to put the filter in is smaller than 700 or 800 square feet? Our grandson, who suffers from a, severe allergy to dust mites, and constant colds, sleeps in a bedroom that is very small, with not very good air circulation. His parents are thinking about getting one of these units. But is there a problem if the room is smaller than 700 sq. ft.?
Hi, and thanks for the question. There is no problem in a room smaller than 700 sq. ft. It will just clean the room more times, which is ideal for asthma problems like I used to have. You might run it on the slower speed (800 sq. ft. is at the high speed which is probably not ideal for sleeping) as the "quiet" mode in it is probably the best for the bedroom.., Blessings. and most important I hope he gets better.. MR
To AliveAir: First of all, great reviews! Second, I live in a hot climate so my A/C window unit HAS to be on continuously in order for the room (250 sq feet) to cool down. Buying a purifier seems futile because allergens are continuously being pumped into the room when the A/C is on. I am thinking about buying the Airpod MT2, but how effective will a purifier be if I have an operating A/C window unit (which does not have a filter)? Thanks!
Good question.. . and I get your point about A/c's . The easiest way to keep allergens out with A/c on is to put a small cloth filter on the inside of the A/c cover (My a/c unit has one). I still use an airpurifier - even though the A/C may be letting more stuff in. A/C does another thing: It actually removes a lot of the healthy negative ions - So I use the smaller unit ( The MT2 is on sale less than $119 -- search for "alive air mini" as it's called that as well on another site).
Can you clean each of those 9 layers?, lis it washable??, if not.. how can you clean them if they are already covered in dirt that they have filtered???<??
2 filters are washeable and make the HEPA last longer. The negative ion, UV, and Tio2 do not get cleaned as they work to eradicate germs, viruses, etc.
@AliveAir thanks mann!, imma go buy one,.. do you know any with a huge discount?, and how much is it now?, i mean this year.. considering that you made this video 2 years ago..
I found good reviews for this air purifier on Amazon too.. although it cost $339 there than at their site where it's $299. has anyone else done a video about it?
I have a prem~i~air air purifier and it has a ioniser 8hour timer and 3speed setting
and fragance (optional) at night when i go to sleep i put it on yhe first speed ultra quiet and the ioniser to and since then my sleeps have been mutch better
Pretty sure we have mold in the room I sleep in. Was hoping a purifier with UV light might kill the spores until we can afford to repair to the basement to seal out moisture. I just read something though that might prove them ineffective when the air is passing so quickly over the light. Apparently, the gist of the review says they're useless unless the spores are exposed for a few minutes.
Good question, When it also has Tio2 UV has a better ability to kill spors, but ye - if it is on high there is less chance. The other factor is that HEPA will trap the mold spores as well. Also negative ions tend to kill mold. With all three I find it does a nice job.
We originally had four Oreck air purifiers and all of them have died within a few years (motors siezed up). We will never buy another Oreck again. This machine works great.. thanks for video advice
Pretty nice!.....and definately has advance filtration with all those components. But if course with more stuff....comes more maitenance. Is their anywhere locally to take this if i start having problems with it? And does it have a good enough warranty to cover the majority of those components in there?? I dont know....but it seems to me that my ORECK PROSHIELD PLUS IS BETTER THAN THAT! GREAT filtration with truman cell, oxygenator and UVA LIGHT. AND a 3year warr. w/lifetime cell.
Warranty = 5 years. The brushless motor will run for 10 yrs. Oreck = 320 sq.ft. AliveAir = 865. Oreck = no HEPA. HEPA is recognized as the best for dust and pollen. Alive Air =a better purifier/better price by not charging you for the expensive infomercial!! Most repairs (a rarity) can usually be fixed at home. After a few months Oreck will charge you to fix anything (because their guarantee is pro-rated).
Great technology..my only concern is price. The consumer is looking for a product that is affordable with premium quality. With this economy the way it is you must take measures into your own hands to udjust tyo the trends.
I just ordered an oreck xl proshield plus for like $425 w/ tax....I am thinking of returning it for this alive air, but I have not seen any non biased report.....what to do...the only difference I see is the Hepa/carbon filter...all the sensors on alive air are pointless if you leave your unit on 24/7...oreck says their uv light never needs to be replaced...why does this one need to be replaced every year??
Great questions!! thanks..Amazon has some independent reviews on it. Besides HEpa/carbon you also have UV/Tio2 to kill viruses/bacteria. Sensors 24/7- sensors work if the window is open and pollen comes in, you burn food, or food starts to smell, etc. Plus the motor is rated for 10 years (and will far outlive the oreck which has a "brush" motor). Every UV bulb will fail after 9-12 months - even orecks

I have seen an imitation model of your air purifier called the "
"Surround Air Multi-Tech Intelli-Pro" it has all the sensors, and all the filters that yours has, but i looked at its specifications and it doesn't cover as much square feet as yours, it emits ozone, im pretty sure it doesnt have a 5 year warranty, and im also pretty sure that its fan motor is not as high quality as yours isBut it is my only choice left to buy if I cannot purchase yours
I Think your Air Pufier is the best on the market!! i really do!!, and i would love to buy one!!!, But on your website, you don't ship them internationally!! WHAT A SHAME!!! You could have so many more potential happy customers if you did, including me..
5/5 stars*****I received mine on 4/21/10. It is a great air purifier. My room use to stink of paint fumes and dirty laundry ---now there are no detectable odor even if I close the doors and windows all day ---this air purifier took care of it.

Im sold on the product it is great but I also have a question. Please tell me the name of the music playing in the background. It is a very familiar song that I can not remember the name
I just ordered 3 of these. Customer service has been great so far. Much better than any other company I have dealt with. I will post again when I have received the units and used them for a week or two.
My wife and I have had this in our home for a week now. The difference is amazing. There always has been some old house smell that was minimized somewhat by a rug cleaning, but has always remained. I remember my amazement when, after only a few hours of run time, I returned to the house from running errands, walked in the front door, and took a deep breath of clean air. This machine moves a lot of air, even on the low setting and it's so quiet. I'm very pleased.
Unfortunately air circulates in a circle, and hence does not pass through doorways (unless they are very wide). I suggest getting one s for the rooms that you spend the most time in (bedroom definitely). Thanks for your question!
I bought the A;ive Air Machine because of this video and I couldn't be happier with how well it cleans and the price . Itwas $299 and free shipping.. I run it in the bedroom at night and it is quiet.. Thanks for the vid!
Almost all electrical appliances create some ozone but for most it is very miniscule. Regular negative ionizers (- charge only) fall in this category. Air purifiers with charged "plates" ( both + and -) such as the oreck and ionic breeze do create more ozone if they have enough surface area.The charged "grid" type (a metal screen rather than plates) creates a very small amount.
Funny watching these kind of air purifiers monitor the air though. I sware my vacuum spews out more dust then it sucks up. When i use it i start coughing. So when i had the air purifier on it went on to maximum speed near instantly and showing the air is full of dust haha. neat stuff.
I had a unit sort of like this but it had 3 stages, prefilter,hepa and carbon.
i've been suffering from allergies and bought it, it helped quite a bit for about month and it started to seem get noticibly less effective, then i got the flu, after that had cleared up everytime i turned it on i just kept sneezing like mad and felt groggy. but i was fine when it was off.
Do you think the hepa filter just got really dirty quickly or something? it said in the manual they last ages though.
It sounds more as though the air purifier, by increasing air flow, was stirring up things in the room. MOst hepas won't clog that fast. However hepa and carbon won't do a thing for germs, viruses, or bacteria which is why I like the Alive Air machine rather than the HEPA alone machines like IQAir, etc.
OK.. I bought one of these 2 weeks ago,.. shipping was fast, machine works great, and I can breathe..WooHoo! Helpful people from aliveair.. THNX.. Mary
Great questions. When I had asthma and allergies I used everything I could - HEPA, UV, Carbon, Negative Ion (for health benefits more than cleaning) and more because each technology helps something. So while UV and Tio2 is a must to kill germs, bacteria, viruses, mold, etc. you also want HEPA to make the air clean. Everything in the air (except air itself) stresses the immune system...
I'll assume you mean AliveAir over Austin? The Alive air machine costs less ($299 vs. $499) yet had 9 technologies instead of just 2-3. It's a more current design - with a brushless motor (quieter and uses less electrivity) and UV, Tio2, Electrostatic and Neg. Ion along with the HEPA and Carbon of the Austin.. Did that help?
Sorry if I drone on.... I have offered Austin and IQAir to my patients in the past but I wanted something with more technology and that was less expensive.....both are good, just too much money (my opinion only)
Well made (and probably the very last U.S. made) air purifier. It only uses HEPA and Carbon/Zeolite ( no help with viruses, germs, mold, etc.) . The model hasn't changed in 25 years. So my opinion is it's a bit pricey for essentially a big HEPA and Carbon filter.
Hepa is the one to start with (to remove dust, dirt, hair, pollen) but I would also get UV because HEPA won't get rid of viruses, germs, bacteria, odors, or kill mold/mildew. UV and Tio2 does most of the rest...p.s. HEPA is often over-priced so getitng HEPA and UV should not copst more than $3-400.00
Great question....Ozone is great to "treat" a room, but you wouldn't want to be in the room as it will irritate the lungs. Ozone is 03, basically oxygen with a very unstable extra molecule which does kill odor, germs, mold, etc. It doesn't help with dust or pollen however. The Machine in the video does not use Ozone but UV which does the same thing without the health risk.. thanks for asking.
I still want one .... even after all the problems I have been through.... what guarantee do I have I will like this one... and where can I see it for myself???
I had the oreck - and it was noisy and broke twice...... Then bought an IQAIR (took out a second mortgage to do so) and didn't work well on odor....bought a Rabbit air and couldn't get it repaired....so excuse my skepticism....
You should have bought an IQAir that has special odor controls. They are about 200 more than the healthpro series, but are incredibly well suited for cleanroom environments
I used to have an IQAIR unit - which is a HEPA and Carbon only (no sensors). It is well made, overpriced at $850, and effective if one has extreme conditions like lung disease, etc. It has no effect on viruses, bacteria, etc. and we don't recommend it for most people for these reasons.
The idea of it using all the tech available - HEPA, UV, Carbon, etc. sounds good. And price seems affordable. But how long will it last?? .or.... how well made is it???
Alive air Machine is 20db (decibels.. very quiet) using a brushless motor. The honeywell (and oreck as well) still use the old brush motors which are louder, and get louder as the brushes wear.
IQair makes a very good 2 stage unit, which it should be for $800-$1200. It is made in Germany which is why it is more expensive as it is hard to compete against ones made in China (about 98% of the air purifiers are from China). It is primarily HEPA so a bit over-priced. Is it 3x better than a hepa costing $300? I don't think soi. they sell to the top end of the market, with lots of markeitng money
I haven't seen them. I think that's how they keep the price so low.. by only selling online. it lists for $479 but is $299 and free shipping on their site
Hard to know what's good with the hundreds of air purifiers all competing against each other with slick marketing... I would never buy one off of TV again
My friend spent some time in China at the factory that makes oreck and the oreck design hasn't changed in 25 years (per their factory) and their cost was $32.00
Where do I get it?

Warranty = 5 years. The brushless motor will run for 10 yrs. Oreck = 320 sq.ft. AliveAir = 865. Oreck = no HEPA. HEPA is recognized as the best for dust and pollen. Alive Air =a better purifier/better price by not charging you for the expensive infomercial!! Most repairs (a rarity) can usually be fixed at home. After a few months Oreck will charge you to fix anything (because their guarantee is pro-rated).

I just ordered an oreck xl proshield plus for like $425 w/ tax....I am thinking of returning it for this alive air, but I have not seen any non biased report.....what to do...the only difference I see is the Hepa/carbon filter...all the sensors on alive air are pointless if you leave your unit on 24/7...oreck says their uv light never needs to be replaced...why does this one need to be replaced every year??

Great questions!! thanks..Amazon has some independent reviews on it. Besides HEpa/carbon you also have UV/Tio2 to kill viruses/bacteria. Sensors 24/7- sensors work if the window is open and pollen comes in, you burn food, or food starts to smell, etc. Plus the motor is rated for 10 years (and will far outlive the oreck which has a "brush" motor). Every UV bulb will fail after 9-12 months - even orecks

I have seen an imitation model of your air purifier called the "
"Surround Air Multi-Tech Intelli-Pro" it has all the sensors, and all the filters that yours has, but i looked at its specifications and it doesn't cover as much square feet as yours, it emits ozone, im pretty sure it doesnt have a 5 year warranty, and im also pretty sure that its fan motor is not as high quality as yours isBut it is my only choice left to buy if I cannot purchase yours

My wife and I have had this in our home for a week now. The difference is amazing. There always has been some old house smell that was minimized somewhat by a rug cleaning, but has always remained. I remember my amazement when, after only a few hours of run time, I returned to the house from running errands, walked in the front door, and took a deep breath of clean air. This machine moves a lot of air, even on the low setting and it's so quiet. I'm very pleased.

LTF85199 2 years ago
Unfortunately air circulates in a circle, and hence does not pass through doorways (unless they are very wide). I suggest getting one s for the rooms that you spend the most time in (bedroom definitely). Thanks for your question!

How can you tell if a ionizer creates ozone or not? Or do they all produce ozone, just some more than others, if so how do you know how much?
thanks!
Peter
pjc5vadim1 2 years ago
Hi Peter,, good question.
Almost all electrical appliances create some ozone but for most it is very miniscule. Regular negative ionizers (- charge only) fall in this category. Air purifiers with charged "plates" ( both + and -) such as the oreck and ionic breeze do create more ozone if they have enough surface area.The charged "grid" type (a metal screen rather than plates) creates a very small amount.
AliveAir 2 years ago
Funny watching these kind of air purifiers monitor the air though. I sware my vacuum spews out more dust then it sucks up. When i use it i start coughing. So when i had the air purifier on it went on to maximum speed near instantly and showing the air is full of dust haha. neat stuff.
xcloudx01 2 years ago
I had a unit sort of like this but it had 3 stages, prefilter,hepa and carbon.
i've been suffering from allergies and bought it, it helped quite a bit for about month and it started to seem get noticibly less effective, then i got the flu, after that had cleared up everytime i turned it on i just kept sneezing like mad and felt groggy. but i was fine when it was off.
Do you think the hepa filter just got really dirty quickly or something? it said in the manual they last ages though.
xcloudx01 2 years ago
It sounds more as though the air purifier, by increasing air flow, was stirring up things in the room. MOst hepas won't clog that fast. However hepa and carbon won't do a thing for germs, viruses, or bacteria which is why I like the Alive Air machine rather than the HEPA alone machines like IQAir, etc.

AliveAir 2 years ago
sorry for all the questions ( and thanks for answering)....what shoud I use for someone who gets sick alot?
SusanLeeman 2 years ago
Great questions. When I had asthma and allergies I used everything I could - HEPA, UV, Carbon, Negative Ion (for health benefits more than cleaning) and more because each technology helps something. So while UV and Tio2 is a must to kill germs, bacteria, viruses, mold, etc. you also want HEPA to make the air clean. Everything in the air (except air itself) stresses the immune system...
AliveAir 2 years ago
I heard it is good.. How is this one better?
SusanLeeman 2 years ago
I'll assume you mean AliveAir over Austin? The Alive air machine costs less ($299 vs. $499) yet had 9 technologies instead of just 2-3. It's a more current design - with a brushless motor (quieter and uses less electrivity) and UV, Tio2, Electrostatic and Neg. Ion along with the HEPA and Carbon of the Austin.. Did that help?
AliveAir 2 years ago
Sorry if I drone on.... I have offered Austin and IQAir to my patients in the past but I wanted something with more technology and that was less expensive.....both are good, just too much money (my opinion only)
AliveAir 2 years ago
What do you think of the Austin Air?
SusanLeeman 2 years ago
Well made (and probably the very last U.S. made) air purifier. It only uses HEPA and Carbon/Zeolite ( no help with viruses, germs, mold, etc.) . The model hasn't changed in 25 years. So my opinion is it's a bit pricey for essentially a big HEPA and Carbon filter.
AliveAir 2 years ago
I watched your other videos. Are you saying that I should get more than HEPA? Thanks for your help
arialtomika 2 years ago
Hepa is the one to start with (to remove dust, dirt, hair, pollen) but I would also get UV because HEPA won't get rid of viruses, germs, bacteria, odors, or kill mold/mildew. UV and Tio2 does most of the rest...p.s. HEPA is often over-priced so getitng HEPA and UV should not copst more than $3-400.00

what about Ozone?
ABAZABA1979 2 years ago
What about Ozone?
ABAZABA1979 2 years ago
Great question....Ozone is great to "treat" a room, but you wouldn't want to be in the room as it will irritate the lungs. Ozone is 03, basically oxygen with a very unstable extra molecule which does kill odor, germs, mold, etc. It doesn't help with dust or pollen however. The Machine in the video does not use Ozone but UV which does the same thing without the health risk.. thanks for asking.
AliveAir 2 years ago
Ozone is great for removing odor and mold, but too much can hurt your lungs. Does nothing for pollen and dust.

You should have bought an IQAir that has special odor controls. They are about 200 more than the healthpro series, but are incredibly well suited for cleanroom environments
charleshoskinson 2 years ago
I used to have an IQAIR unit - which is a HEPA and Carbon only (no sensors). It is well made, overpriced at $850, and effective if one has extreme conditions like lung disease, etc. It has no effect on viruses, bacteria, etc. and we don't recommend it for most people for these reasons.

The idea of it using all the tech available - HEPA, UV, Carbon, etc. sounds good. And price seems affordable. But how long will it last?? .or.... how well made is it???

Alive air Machine is 20db (decibels.. very quiet) using a brushless motor. The honeywell (and oreck as well) still use the old brush motors which are louder, and get louder as the brushes wear.

What do you think of the IQAIRe compared to this one? They;'re expensive but look good
arialtomika 2 years ago 2
IQair makes a very good 2 stage unit, which it should be for $800-$1200. It is made in Germany which is why it is more expensive as it is hard to compete against ones made in China (about 98% of the air purifiers are from China). It is primarily HEPA so a bit over-priced. Is it 3x better than a hepa costing $300? I don't think soi. they sell to the top end of the market, with lots of markeitng money
