RabbitAir Company Info
RabbitAir entered the air purifier industry in 2004 and is headquartered in Los Angeles, California. The company focuses on high quality HEPA based purifiers and also offers a product in partnership with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
Unique Air Purifier Approach
RabbitAir indoor air quality products are the only purifiers designed to either to be mounted on a floor stand that is included with the unit or they can be hung on the wall using a wall bracket that cost an additional $9.95. The inlet valve draws the indoor air through a series of five filters from 360° around the front panel. The outlet valve is located on the back of the unit where clean air is expelled upward into the room.
Rabbit Air Purifier Technology
RabbitAir products come with a 5-year warranty and 24/7 technical phone support. Free shipping is offered by the manufacturer and a remote control complete with batteries is included. All products feature the BioGS HEPA filter which is considered superior to standard HEPA filters because they do not lose efficiency over time. RabbitAir room air filters trap airborne contaminants and allergens down to 0.3 microns with an efficiency of 99.97 percent.
RabbitAir units can be customized by adding a combination of filters to address particular circumstances. The five stage filtration process includes a pre-filter, a medium filter, a BioGS HEPA filter and a custom filter of your choice. Customized filters can be selected that provide defense against germs, target pet allergens, absorb toxins or remove odors. An activated carbon filter is also included in each unit.
Coverage Area and Noise Levels
Coverage area for normal residential use ranges from 700 square feet to 815 square feet, with a smaller radius for allergy sufferers of 300 to 408 square feet. Noise levels have been measured between 25.6 decibels on low speed to 51.3 decibels on maximum speed. The Brushless Direct Current Motor offers 5 different settings.
Criticisms of RabbitAir include the fact that the warranty is dependent on regular filter changes and that the carbon filter is too lightweight to remove odors from large areas. Overall, customer reviews are favorable, usually giving it a rating of 8 out of 10. RabbitAir products are considered the most decorative indoor air quality units available.
