All IQAir air purifiers are manufactured in Switzerland and southern Germany, which makes IQAir stand out against its competitors, who mainly produce devices in China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hammes family still owns the company and is now a significant player in the air purifier markets across the U.S. and China. You can even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cagRuiyAsio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">watch Frank Hammes step into a smoke chamber<\/a> with only the IQAir HealthPro Plus to protect him!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This particular model that I am reviewing is the <a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/KQ2Oj35\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">IQAir HealthPro Plus 250<\/a>, which is priced at $899 and is at the higher end of the budget for most home users. That is why I will try to uncover whether the HealthPro Plus is worth its significant price tag \u2014 I don\u2019t want anybody to buy this expensive air purifier and then regret it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with all the <a href=\"https:\/\/housefresh.com\/air-purifiers\/reviews\/\">air purifiers we review<\/a> here at HouseFresh, we bought the IQAir HealthPro Plus with our money to test its performance, noise levels generated and electricity consumption. We don&#8217;t run ads on our site or accept freebies, so all our reviews are impartial, and we have no issues saying when a <a href=\"https:\/\/housefresh.com\/rainbow-rainmate-air-purifier-review\/\">product sucks<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/housefresh.com\/puroair-hepa-14-240-review\/\">doesn&#8217;t provide value<\/a>. We do all this to compare different air purifiers side by side.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-03ea89ff cta-video shadow-xl-to-2xl\"><a class=\"gb-container-link\" href=\"https:\/\/housefresh.com\/how-we-test-air-purifiers\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a>\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-16fa78ab cta-video__video\">\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"567\" src=\"https:\/\/housefresh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/how-we-test-1024x567.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29311\" srcset=\"https:\/\/housefresh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/how-we-test-1024x567.png 1024w, https:\/\/housefresh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/how-we-test-300x166.png 300w, https:\/\/housefresh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/how-we-test-768x425.png 768w, https:\/\/housefresh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/how-we-test-1536x850.png 1536w, https:\/\/housefresh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/how-we-test-2048x1134.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-49a35108 cta-video__text\">\n\n<div class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-0f49bbb4 gb-headline-text headline--h1 cta-video__text__heading\">How we test air purifiers<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-87ce0401 gb-headline-text cta-video__text__p\">Read our full testing methodology.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to running all these experiments in our test room, I have been using the unit in my home since 2022, so I can share my impressions of having an IQAir HealthPro Plus in real-life situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-text toc-include\" data-name=\"The pros and cons\" class=\"gb-text toc-include\" data-name=\"The pros and cons\" id=\"the-lowdown-on-the-iqair-healthpro-plus-1h2\"><strong>The lowdown on the IQAir Healthpro Plus<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-8bb7aa12\">\n\n<h3 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-9f6eebb9 gb-headline-text\" class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-9f6eebb9 gb-headline-text\" id=\"-1h3\"><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-df296625\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-df296625\" src=\"https:\/\/housefresh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/danny-900px.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"danny-900px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/housefresh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/danny-900px.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/housefresh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/danny-900px-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/housefresh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/danny-900px-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\">\n<figcaption class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-5afe5fe6 gb-headline-text\"><\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-70435194 gb-headline-text\">\u201cThe IQAir HealthPro plus is one of the best pure HEPA + Activated charcoal air purifiers on the market, BUT its outstanding performance doesn\u2019t come cheap.

The team at IQAir is not a fan of CADR as they believe it is biased in favor of hybrid units (those that use ionizer and HEPA). You can read more about their argument on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iqair.com\/us\/blog\/air-cleaning-technology\/air-purifier-ratings\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">IQAir&#8217;s blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In simple terms, IQAir doesn\u2019t use any ionizer technology compared to others in this space (Blueair and Alen) due to health concerns and efficiency decreases from particle charging. While hybrid technology could clean the air quicker, if you have similar <a href=\"https:\/\/housefresh.com\/do-ionizer-air-purifiers-work\/\">concerns about ozone or ionizers<\/a>, you should look

This is something that IQAir could improve in future versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the wheels were on, I could move the IQAir HealthPro Plus around the house to test its portability and closely

It doesn\u2019t come cheap at $1,399, but we are excited to test and review it before the end of this year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, the controls on the IQAir HealthPro Plus do include a timer button to program a routine for the air purifier to switch itself off at night or when you leave the house, for example. However, you have to set this manually daily, setting hours for the air purifier to turn on and off. Not ideal by any stretch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing that would be nice to have is a child lock. My youngest loves buttons, so it is not uncommon to find him turning the IQAir HealthPro Plus on and off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the plus side, the IQAir HealthPro Plus comes with a remote control that is a portable version of the control panel embedded at the top of the unit.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/housefresh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IQAir-HealthPro-Plus_Remote.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/housefresh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IQAir-HealthPro-Plus_Remote.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/housefresh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IQAir-HealthPro-Plus_Remote-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/housefresh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IQAir-HealthPro-Plus_Remote-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/housefresh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IQAir-HealthPro-Plus_Remote-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/housefresh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IQAir-HealthPro-Plus_Remote-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/housefresh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IQAir-HealthPro-Plus_Remote-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a super simple remote, with buttons for all six fan speeds and to set the timer.

(cleaning the air from pollutants emitted by a powerful incense stick) under the same conditions in the same test room of 728 cubic feet and tracking PM1, PM2.5 and PM10 using two <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.purpleair.com\/products\/list\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">PurpleAir air quality sensors<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We do this because it allows us to compare different air purifiers like-for-like and calculate estimates of CADR even when manufacturers don\u2019t provide it, which is the case with IQAir.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The IQAir HealthPro Plus took 28 minutes to return the room to a reading of zero PM1 when tracked using the PurpleAir indoor sensor and <strong>28 minutes <\/strong>to achieve PM1 zero with our newer Purple Zen sensor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"flourish-embed flourish-chart\" data-src=\"visualisation\/17194121\"><script

especially when we consider the high-grade HEPA and large amounts of activated carbon used.
