Bodhisattva,David, Sorry you were alarmed. As I said at the beginning, " A little research tells me that Blueair is one of the best air filters..." I just Googled the info as I am thinking about replacing an old Honeywell filter that I haven't used in years. Actually, I was a bit alarmed myself when I stumbled onto the info that ozonation was used. I thought that had fallen out of favor with the medical community.
Thanks everyone for the understanding replies - I'm a retired postal employee who would still be working if not for an inheritance, without which, I probably wouldn't have any McIntosh... This talk about ozone and McIntosh just made me think about the 148 rubber driver surrounds in my Mcspeakers ! Those speakers have to last me forever!! - my forever not being as long as it used to be though. Thanks, John

What I've found is that it's very confusing comparing units because they rank them in different ways. Unfortunately the IQ Air was not ranked by Consumer Reports but I've not been able to find anyone say anything negative about it. It's the Ferrari of purifiers and it's priced as such. |

I misread, the IQAir is 99.97%, not 99.7%.

Thanks for your feedback & clarification Derek. At their respective price points, both brands offer very effective and high quality products. Which one is right for you will depend on the size of the room, level of pollution or particulates in the air & other factors like whether anyone suffers acute allergies etc.

I ended up going with the IQ Air New Series HealthCare pro. It's has overwhelmingly good stats and there is almost no negative feedback. They also hold a very high resale value. Expecting delivery next week and then I'll update if it actually worked, how quiet it was etc.

"...how quiet it was etc." See, all that money spent on an audio hobby was worth it if it means you have an SPL meter on hand when you need it ! John
