Purification Performance

There are three variants of the HealthPro: the standard HealthPro, the HealthPro Plus, and the HealthPro Compact. We tested the HealthPro Plus in our studio.

For our purification test, we place the IQAir HealthPro Plus in a medium sized room (~14’x10’) in our office. We then take a baseline measurement of the air quality using the Temtop LKC-1000S+ professional air quality detector.

We then let the air purifier run for 1 hour at the highest fan speed. Next, we take an additional measurement of the air quality and compare the post-run data to the baseline to determine the performance of the IQAir HealthPro Plus.

Starting Baseline

PM2.5: 13.0

PM10: 23.4

Particles: 1919

AQI: 53

After 1 hour

PM2.5: 0.1

PM10: 0.1

Particles: 49

AQI: 1

During our tests, the HealthPro Plus proved its excellence by removing 97.4% of airborne particulates and enhancing the PM2.5 air quality by 99.2%.

Below, we’ve included information on the testing criteria and what defines good vs. bad air quality.

The Purifying Fan

The IQAir HealthPro has a unique method of accessing the filters.

Access filters

The IQAir HealthPro features a unique method for accessing the filters, consisting of a pre-filter for trapping larger airborne particulates, an activated carbon filter for VOCs, gases, and odors, and a HEPA filter as the main defense line for capturing airborne particulates as small as 0.3 microns.

Noise Test

Our results demonstrated that the noise range of the IQAir HealthPro Plus lies between 29 – 57 dB. While it does not have a dedicated sleep mode, it is quiet enough on the lowest power setting at 29.6 dB.

Our results showed the following decibel levels from each mode.

Level 1

29.6 dB

Level 4

46.3 dB

Level 6

56.2 dB

Common noise levels:

20 dB – rustling leaves
30 dB – whisper
40 dB – quiet library, babbling brook
50 dB – refrigerator, moderate rainfall
60 dB – normal conversation, dishwashers
70 dB – traffic, showers
80 dB – alarm clock, telephone dial tone

Usability Tests

The HealthPro offers robust controls and features that improve usability, including a remote for wireless control and menus that provide access to several settings and filter life.

Setup

It’s a journey of intuitive operation with the friendly navigator being a simple remote control.

Here’s what comes in the box:

Pre-filter (pre-installed)

Controls & App

As mentioned previously, there is no app connectivity with the HealthPro. However, there are still robust controls and key features that improve usability.

There are 4 buttons on top:

Power
Arrow
Menu
Enter

The power button will turn on/off the device and the arrow button can adjust the fan speed, while all of the buttons will be used in the menus.

These menus give you access to:

Remaining filter life
Setting timer
Setting day-of-week timer
Set fan speed while timer is on

Check model

In addition, it comes with a remote for wireless control.

Maintenance

Maintenance echoes the simplicity of operation, with an easy-to-replace filter system.

You will need to replace the filters, which is needed every 6-12 months for the HEPA and every 12 months for the carbon.

Of course the exact time depends on your environment and usage.

Luckily, there is an indicator light and menu options that show when the filter needs to be replaced.
