When it’s time to invest a significant amount of money in an air purifier unit like this IQair model, it’s certainly interesting and necessary to look into any testing and/or certification validating the quality of the product. Each unit IQair is in fact individually tested coming out of the factory to ensure that all strict specifications are met and is allocated a certificate of performance. If the unit does not prove to deliver 99, 97% cleaner or better air, it will not be shipped for sale.

Now, an air purifier might sometimes make a loud noise when activated, this is not the case with the IQair health pro 250. The design of the fan is so that is located between sound-attenuating filters in the unit limiting the noise without sacrificing the efficiently (32% quieter than other brands).
