AllerAir 5000 Air Purifiers Product Reviews

Probably more than I needed. Reviewed by: J.T. from Crystal River, FL I don't want to say the only reason I bought the Allerair was because I'm a slight hypochondriac, but I am fairly concerned about my health. I don't really have any issues and part of me wants to keep it that way. I had always heard that carbon was the best at filtering, and this had the most. The air is definitely fresher in the house. That faint musty smell is completely gonesince the house is REALLY old and there is noticeably less dust. I'm happy with it so far! I do wish it weren't so heavy though.

Aller Air 5000 Reviewed by: Dabbling in the Arts from Destin, FL This machine is not very pretty, but it has worked great for me. I do some painting in my shop and that leads to a lot of odors. This Aller Air has lots of carbon that traps the odors. It is heavy but moves well on its wheels on my concrete floors.

Rugged Air Purifier Reviewed by: M. Jenkins from Marietta, GA My wife makes me smoke my cigars only in my woodworking shop. I usually like to keep the doors closed, because of the noise. I needed a rugged, high performance man's air purifier.

The AllerAir 5000 series is the most popular model AllerAir offers. Rated for up to 1500 sq. ft., the 5000 series offers HEPA and activated carbon filtration with an optional UV light. Ideal for someone with multiple chemical sensitivities or persistent allergies, the 5000 series offers some of the best filtration in the business.

What I like about the AllerAir 5000

The 5000 series can cover 1500 sq. ft., but at the recommended six air changes per hour, they are more suited for a total area of 500 sq. ft. They would work well in a smaller commercial office or the largest room in just about any home. These units are durable. With a steel housing and enamel finish, the AllerAir 5000 does not off-gas, nor does it emit any ozone.

With a full 18 lbs. of carbon these air purifiers offer robust filtration of allergens, and other particulates. As with all AllerAir models, the 5000 series offers specific blends of activated carbon. These specific blends can be customized for customers with sensitivities to specific types of carbon.

Each unit offers 4 stage filtration, including true HEPA filtration as well as a pre-filter (which can be vacuumed), carbon filter and anti-microbial filter. Combined, these filters work well in reducing most VOCs, bacteria, dust, smoke, pollen and other allergens commonly found in the home.

What I did not like about the AllerAir 5000

Like other AllerAir models, the 5000 units are heavy. Once unpacked, each weighs around 45lbs. Casters help in moving them around, but getting them up and down steps is not a task for elderly or infirmed. AllerAir units are not particularly quiet machines. Running on low, they offer something akin to white noise while trying to sleep.

AllerAir falls more in line with manufacturers that offer little in the way of electronics or accessories. Instead they choose to focus on performance and delivering maximum filtration for your money. So with the 5000 series, the units do not come with a filter life monitor, but you can expect to replace the HEPA filter every 3-5 years, the carbon every 1-3 years and pre-filter each year (you can vacuum this to extend its life).

In summary, the AllerAir 5000 series of air purifiers deliver excellent results. With a very functional design, these units are workhorses when it comes to air filtration. Durable and long lasting, the 5000 series will keep the air in your house free of allergens at a price comparable to the best in the business.
