The Good

  • AirDoctor Unit
  • Financing Available Through Affirm
  • Electricity Usage
  • More Effective Than Ordinary HEPA Filters
  • Relieve Short-Term Symptoms

AirDoctor Unit

AirDoctor combines an UltraHEPA™ filter with a proprietary dual-action Carbon/Gas Trap/VOC filter to remove or substantially reduce virtually all the particles, toxic ozone, volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) and gases from the air in your home.

Additionally, AirDoctor features WhisperJet fans, which are 30 percent quieter than other air purifiers. The purifier also offers features such as a built-in air quality monitor, which informs homeowners of their home's current air quality and automatically adjusts filtration level based on the air quality in the room.

Financing Available Through Affirm

Purchasing everything you need for an AirDoctor purifier may be a bit expensive upfront. The company has partnered with Affirm to allow customers to buy their system with low monthly payments. However, monthly payments are only available if your order includes an AirDoctor unit. 

Electricity Usage

The AirDoctor consumes about 11 watts on the low setting and 95 watts on the highest setting. While how often the purifier is used and the speed settings will vary by customer, AirDoctor claims that it should only cost about $30 to $40 per year (running on auto-mode 24/7).

More Effective Than Ordinary HEPA Filters

AirDoctor uses the exclusive UltraHEPA™ filter. While conventional HEPA systems claim to remove 99.97 percent of particles down to .3 microns. AirDoctor's UltraHEPA has been independently tested to remove 100 percent of airborne particles at 0.003 microns in size, 100 times smaller than the HEPA standard.

Relive Short-Term Symptoms

A variety of health conditions may show up days, months, or years after exposure to harmful pollutants. AirDoctor may help relieve short-term symptoms such as sneezing, wheezing, itchy throat or nose, watery eyes, itchy skin, hives, nasal congestion, coughing, fatigue, irritability, runny nose, and stomach aches.

The Bad

  • Cost of a Unit + Shipping and Processing Fees

Cost of a Unit + Shipping and Processing Fees

AirDoctor units cost $629 with a shipping and processing fee of $29.95, which is not the cheapest option we've found but also not the most expensive. 

However, consumers will need to keep in mind that an AirDoctor UltraHEPA filter should last about one year (depending on usage). Still, a replacement filter costs $59.95 plus a shipping and processing fee of $9.95. There is a pre-filter, but this can be hand-washed and reused, but if you need a replacement, it will cost $19.95 (plus the shipping and processing fee of $9.95).

The Bottom Line

Unfortunately, the air inside our homes can be up to 100 times more polluted than outdoor air. Indoor air pollution is caused by a number of particles like pollen, dust, bacteria, viruses, pet dander, mold spores, and more. The AirDoctor combines the power of its UltraHEPA filter with the dual-action Carbon/Gas Trap/ VOC filter to remove dangerous and harmful pollutants. While the AirDoctor isn't the most expensive unit, the $629 price tag doesn't include pricey shipping and processing fees and consumers will need to tack on the price of replacement filters.

My husband bought me the big air purifier from Air Dr. It is amazing to hear it turn to a higher speed when scents or chemicals are brought into our family room. The unit was not cheap, but I love knowing that chemicals and allergens are not just lurking in our air.

Our Air Doctor has prevented so many sicknesses in our house, I'm sure of it. Also, whenever I cook, it gets the smell of the food out so quick, it's amazing! Very expensive, but I'm so glad I bought one.

Multiple people in my family have allergies and asthma, and our AirDoctor has been a life saver! It keeps the air clean and fresh.

With the winter inversion and the summer fires, our air quality is bad. We bought two air doctors and i can't believe the difference it makes. We literally breath easier!

We have an AirDoctor that my dad got and it works nonstop. I love that when ever I see it, it reminds me of the clean air in house. I wish it was a little more quiet though.

I think AirDoctor air purifiers improved the air quality in my home greatly (even in my larger rooms).
