Whether you have a smoker in the home or you’re getting second hand smoke from a neighbor, if you don’t smoke, it’s no fun. Smoke particles, odors, and chemicals in the air from the smoke often cause allergies, asthma, and respiratory problems for non-smokers, and the other dangers of second hand smoke are well-documented. Finding a good air purifier to remove the smoke, particles, and odors effectively, however, can be difficult. There are a lot of air cleaners on the market and some that say ‘smoke eater’ or ‘for smoke’, but you really have to read the fine print and look at the filters and other details of the air cleaner to determine how effective it will be.
To effectively remove and control smoke particles, odor and the chemicals from smoke requires a portable air scrubber or filtration system with both a medical grade HEPA filter and a carbon filter with a substantial amount of properly activated carbon. Electronic air cleaners that only have charged electric plates that attract particles generally only remove about 85% of particles, and that number decreases as the plate becomes saturated, causing you to have to clean it constantly to get any kind good filtration. Thin sheet or foam carbon filters don’t work very well, either, for removing smoke odors or chemicals. There isn’t enough carbon there and it’s usually not the strongly activated type found in top-rated air purifiers.
Three portable smoke air cleaners that do remove smoke odors, chemicals and particles very well in homes and offices, however, are 1) The Aller Air 5000 DX Vocarb, 2) The Austin HealthMate Plus, and 3) The Blueair 650E, in that order. All three have the right type of strongly activated carbon, medical grade HEPA filtration, removing over 99% of particles down to 0.1 microns (better than most HEPA filters), and all three are relatively inexpensive (from $650 to $1000). That might sound like a lot, but there are a lot of more expensive home air scrubbers that either don’t filter the air as well or just cost too much, so we recommend these three, based on customer air purifier reviews and ratings.
The Aller Air 5000 DX Vocarb air cleaner has 27 pounds of industrial strength carbon, so we recommend this unit for heavy smoke or hard to remove smoke odors, and filters last 3-5 years, not 3-5 months, and this unit can cover 1500 square feet with one unit. The Austin Healthmate Plus air scrubber is similar, featuring 15 pounds of strongly activated carbon, with filters that last 2-4 years, and covers up to 1500 square feet as well. The Blueair 650E with the SmokeStop Filter has roughly 9 pounds of powerful smoke and odor removing carbon, has a remote, automatic pollutant sensors, but only covers about 700 square feet and filters last about 8 months.
The Blueair 650E is a very quiet smoke air purifier, so it’s a great choice if keeping quiet is important. If you stick with one of these three units, you’ll enjoy very clean air, and you’ll have an air purifier that will last, not break down within a year as most cheap air scrubbers do. Cheap air purifiers also usually do not have a strong enough output and won’t be able to remove the smoke or odors before they reach your nose, which makes them a waste of time and money.
