In constant pursuit of pure living solutions, the Bionaire™ brand has developed advanced technology to help homeowners find a balance between air-tight construction and clean indoor air. With sleek, attractive designs and energy-efficient technology, Bionaire™ air purifiers can improve the air quality in your home.

Air purifiers (also known as air cleaners) remove odours and common airborne pollutants from the environment by drawing air through a filter system. Reducing airborne allergens and irritants such as pollen, mould, dust, pet dander and tobacco smoke can reduce symptoms of allergies and hay fever. Air purifiers also remove odours and chemicals from household cleaners and furnishings, helping home owners create a truly healthful and pure indoor living environment for their families.

Air Purifiers draw air into the unit using a fan. In some models, the air first passes through a washable pre-filter, which traps larger airborne particles. Then, the air passes through a high-efficiency True HEPA or HEPA-Type filter, which captures airborne particulates as small as 0.3 microns.

Bionaire™ air purifiers offer up to 99% (HEPA-Type) to up to 99.97% (True HEPA) particle filtration. Pure, filtered air is then quietly dispersed back out into the room by a powerful three-speed fan.

To enhance effectiveness, some air purifiers come equipped with an ioniser option. The ioniser setting releases negatively charged ions into the air, which join with small positively charged particles such as dust, dander and pollen to form larger particles that are more easily trapped by the HEPA filter.

With proper maintenance, regular use of an air purifier will help rid your home of airborne pollutants, resulting in better air quality and a more healthful home environment – enhancing personal comfort and well being.

The size of airborne particles that an air purifier can capture is measured in microns. A micron is approximately 1/25400th of an inch. Particles that are 10 microns or less are not visible to the naked eye.

Size Item
100 microns - The diameter of human hair
25 microns - Debris and other particles
10 microns - Heavy dust, spores from plants & pollen
5-10 microns - Skin flakes, moulds, pollen, average dust, pet dander
1-5 microns - Light atmospheric dust, dust mite debris
0.3 to 1 micron - Tobacco smoke, metallic fumes

It is important to choose the proper air purifier model that fits your specific room size and offers the best filter for the particular issue you wish to eliminate. Follow these simple steps to choose the best air purifiers for your home:

1. Identify the problem you want to solve (e.g. allergies, dust, pollen, etc.)

Air Purifier Filtration Options
HEPA/HEPA Type Filters
Originally developed for the atomic energy commission, HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters capture and remove even the tiniest airborne particles. HEPA-Type – 99% filtration capturing particles 2.0 microns or larger from air passing through the filter.
True HEPA
Up to 99.97% filtration capturing particles as little as 0.3 microns from air passing through the filter.
HEPA-Type
Up to 99% filtration capturing particles 2.0 microns or larger from air passing through the filter.
Permanent Air Purifier Filters
The makers of Bionaire™ brands offers permanent filters that need not be replaced. The filter must be vacuumed every three months or as needed for your environment.
ioniser
The ioniser setting releases negatively-charged ions into the air. These join with small positively-charged particles such as dust, and pollen to form larger particles that are more easily trapped by the HEPA filter.

2. Determine the required Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) of the air purifier based on the size of the room and select a certified air purifier.
A Note about CADR:CADR is the amount of clean air measured in cubic feet per minute that an air cleaner delivers to a room. It is tested on its ability to remove smoke, dust and pollen.

Select the Right Unit (CADR stands for Clean Air Delivery Rate):

Small Rooms
10 x 11 71 CADR
12 x 12 95 CADR

Medium Rooms
14 x 16 145 CADR
16 x 17 175 CADR
17 x 18 200 CADR

Large Rooms
18 x 19 220 CADR
16 x 17 175 CADR
20 x 20 260 CADR

3. Decide where you will place the air purifier unit.
4. If the unit will be used in a bedroom, near silent technology will be critical.
5. Select either permanent or replaceable filters, based on your needs and preferences.
6. Choose a reputable brand. The Bionaire™ brand is a pioneer in the field of indoor air purification, and an excellent choice for those who demand pure quality, innovative design and advanced solutions.

Additional Features
Quiet Operation: Many air purifiers utilize a specially-designed airflow system that includes a blade, motor and filter to help the unit operate quietly at any speed, achieving a very high level of filtration with minimal noise.

Filter-Service Reminder: These indicators let you know when it’s time to clean your filter or get a new filter, taking the guesswork out of filter replacement and ensuring optimal air quality in your home at all times.

Modern Design: With refined style and sophisticated design, Bionaire™ air purifiers are versatile, slim and compact, easily fitting in with the décor of your home.

Endorsements & Certifications: In Europe, most Bionaire™ air purifiers are endorsed
