Product Overview

Are you looking for an air purifier that can help relieve your allergy, asthma, and/or MCS symptoms with ease – and do it with as little impact to the environment as possible? Now, you can look no further than the Airpura R600 Air Purifier. Manufactured by Canada-based Airpura Industries, the Airpura R600 is a marvel of green design, strategically developed to filter out harmful impurities from your air while leaving the smallest environmental footprint possible. This unit not only protects you by purifying the air you breathe; it protects our planet, too.

Four Stages of Filtration

The R600 all-purpose air cleaner is the perfect air-purifying solution for anyone who suffers from allergies, asthma, or multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS). Using powerful multi-stage filtration, this Airpura air purifier treats spaces as large as 2,000 sq. ft. It will remove:

  • Particles – Including pet dander, dust, dust mites, pollen, mold spores, and asbestos.
  • Airborne Chemicals – Including formaldehyde, ammonia, benzene, radon, glues, pesticides, methylene chloride, mold mycotoxins, and perchloroethylene.
  • Smoke – Including tobacco smoke and smoke odors.

To ensure top-notch cleanliness, air that flows into the R600 passes through four different filtration stages before it is released as clean, purified air. These stages include:

  • Pre-Filtration – The unit's 570-sq.-in. pre-filter removes large particles and helps to extend the life of the HEPA and carbon filters. This filter should be changed every 12 months.
  • Carbon Filtration – The unit uses 18 lbs. of activated carbon to collect and absorb a variety of chemical pollutants, odors, and tobacco smoke from the air. This filter typically lasts up to 2 years, depending on usage.
  • Micro-Suppress Filtration – These two filters, located on each side of the carbon bed, help to kill viruses, bacteria, and other microorganisms that may collect on them.
  • HEPA Filtration
    • The R600 is also equipped with 40 sq. ft. of True HEPA filter material. This filter removes up to 99.97% of airborne particles that are as small as 0.3 microns in diameter. It lasts approximately 5 years under regular use.
    • The R614 is also equipped with 40 sq. ft. of Super HEPA filter material. This filter removes up to 99.99% of airborne particles that are as small as 0.3 microns in diameter. It lasts approximately 5 years under regular use.

A Greener Design

The Airpura R600 air cleaner was created with eco-awareness in mind. The unit includes a host of environmentally friendly construction features that make it less impactful to the earth than off-the-shelf units of lesser quality. Some of these features include:

  • Lightweight, Motorized Impeller – This backward-curved, 560-CFM impeller weighs less than half of the typical motor, shaft, or blower wheel configurations used in conventional air purifiers. Moreover, it delivers greater airflow at the exact same power consumption.
  • PCB-Free Capacitors – All capacitors used in the R600 are free of polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs. These substances are known to be toxic to humans, animals, and the environment.
  • Zero Off-Gassing – This unit is free of any plastic, rubber, silicone, adhesives, or bonding agents (other than a small number of materials required to meet UL, ETL, CE, and CSA safety guidelines). The absence of these materials helps to reduce any off-gassing of chemical vapors, both within the clean air stream and in the unit's end-of-life phase.
  • All-Metal Housing – With 100% metal housing, the R600 air cleaner is a more ecologically sound product, and it's 93% recyclable. In addition, the metal housing prevents plastic off-gassing, which is common with many conventional units.
  • Vacuum-able Pre-Filters – To lengthen lifespan, improve the unit's energy efficiency, and reduce waste, all Airpura pre-filters can be easily vacuumed clean from the exterior of the unit.

The R600's off-gassing prevention measures are particularly beneficial if you suffer from MCS. Along with all-metal housing and a sealed fan motor, this unit has felt gaskets and a contained electrical parts chamber. Felt gaskets help to seal the unit's filter chamber and maximize air filtration while producing none of the rubber off-gassing that is so common with other filters. By maintaining a separate electrical parts chamber, the unit also prevents any off-gassing that may stem from capacitors, condensers, or switches.

Additional Features

Other top features of the R600 air purifier include:

  • Variable Speed Motor – Choose from two filtration levels.
  • Quiet Purification – The unit's backward-curved impeller helps eliminate vibrations and noise associated with conventional air purifier motors.
  • Zero Air Leakage – The unit's unique pressure seal on the filter chamber ensures that all of the contaminated air passes through the filters. This helps to maintain a True HEPA filtration rating.
  • Perforated Steel Exterior – This type of exterior allows for 360-degree air intake and re-distribution. It also creates a softer appearance.
  • Individual Replacement Filters - The HEPA and carbon filters can be changed separately to help you save on operating costs. You'll only change the filters that need to be changed.

Start creating cleaner air in your home, office – and planet – with the Airpura R600.

    Comments about Airpura R600 Air Purifier:

    I love this air purifier. I also have an Austin Healthmate (which is good too), but I like the Airpura better. It is quieter & does a better job at taking odors out of the air. I like the fact that you can adjust the fan speed by turning the knob, rather than the typical presets: low, medium, & high. This way I can control how strong/noisy the machine is. I think it's perfect for the bedroom because it's very quiet. You can easily turn it up when you leave the room without that loud blasting fan noise (unless you turn it up to max). I keep it running 24 hrs/day on a low setting.

    Solid unit, could use some sound insulation

    Comments about Airpura R600 Air Purifier:

    I just bought the R600 in black from Sylvane. no shipping or tax (Michigan).

    This is a solidly built purifier. It's not super quiet on the low setting, but quiet enough to keep in the other room. The air coming out smells really fresh. Must be all the activated carbon washing the air. On high it really shoots out some air. I like the simplicity of this machine. It's really well built, there's no vibration at any speed. The castors are really nice - I can move it around on my low pile carpet. Not much difference in noise between the low and medium setting, so I keep it around the medium setting most of the time.

    With the lights out, I shined a flashlight next to where the air draws into the side, and I could see tiny dust particles getting sucked into the perforated metal. My apartment is filled with tiny dust particles, which I'm guessing is cat dander but don't really know. Before buying the purifier, I made a point of vacuuming out my heat vents, getting a good furnace filter, and cleaning in general. I also put in vent filters for the 5 air vents in my apt. For 6 years in my apt I never payed attention to the furnace filter, but the ones they had been putting in were undersized and cheap as they get. Dust and stuff from my cat has been shooting through the air for years and lately (last year or so) I've had allergies and headaches, pressure behind my eyes. I never had allergies in my life (41 now).

    Anyway.... short of cleaning out the ducts, I've done everything I can, including buying a Miele hepa vacuum. I'll up date as many months go by - been only 4 days so far and I feel better but too soon to tell if I've fixed the issue.

    It's a solid, powerful, large machine. The air definitely feels fresher. For my 700 sq ft apt it's pretty sufficient I think. I am however thinking about getting the Winix 9500 for my bedroom, thinking it will be a better white noise machine. Reviews talk about how the winix is quiet it is on low. I did have a Rabbit Air BioGS for awhile but it had a pitchy, undulating noise on all settings that I couldn't get used to. The R600 has a nice solid hum. You can hear the motor but it's not too loud and you can also hear the air rushing out.

    The Amazon product description says "near silent operation" on low. Wrong, guys. It's a low hum but not near silent. If you put it in another room from where you are, then yes, near silent. But if it's right next to you, no way it's near silent. Ideally I'd just like to hear the rushing air and nothing else, but with a huge HEPA filter and 18 pds of carbon, I can see how it needs a decent sized motor to draw the air through it. Also if you listen close a few feet from the unit there is a slight buzzing noise coming from the on/off switch. I'm told a power bar might eliminate it. I'm used to it now though and don't notice. Like anything, you notice all the subtleties at first, and then it begins to all blend together as other ambient sounds come and go from around the apt.

    Lastly, I'm told there is an optional accessory called a neg-air collar (comes in all three colors) that wraps around the top of the unit, acting as a sound surpressor. The air is directed out through a tubular port, instead of coming out from all around the top. I'm told a new batch is on order.

    I'm liking this machine more each day.

    Must say cust service was great. Emailed Airpura directly inquiring about the sound issue and they took the time to answer with detailed explanations about product development, etc. Will be looking into the neg-air collar. Sound insulation is what this machine could benefit from. It's a 4 right now, and a little quieter and it gets a 5 star
    Power consumption seems normal for such a capable machine. Will check my electric bill next month.
