Hope you're staying safe, that virus is horrible especially for those of us with pre-existing respiratory conditions.
Laundry detergent was causing a lot of my eczema. What helped was washing clothes with Tide Free and then washing a second time with no detergent. This washes out the residual detergent. I never use fabric softener sheets in the dryer. Try this and see if it helps.
Thank you for sharing your life I myself am going through being allergic to something in the air that no one can figure out so I have a respirator and air purifiers and have been looking at this air purifier because of its higher grade. Ty
@@JeffreyLin have you ever purchased a different brand for replacement filters? I'm getting a foul scent coming from my V5 Cell filter. I had a set of OEM replacement filters sitting their boxes so I replaced all 3 and I'm still getting a foul smell coming from the V5 Cell filter. None of the filters needed replacement according to the hours left but I started to get almost a burning smell coming from my unit when I moved it to my bedroom. I did an isolation test per IQAir customer service and the smell is definitely coming from the V5 Cell filter. Also, removing the V5 Cell filter and only running a pre filter no smell. However when I added the hepa I was getting a plastic smell coming from the Hepa filter. I read a lot of reviews on this issue and found it could be due to the glue they used. Customer service rep said there is a shelf life of 2 years for the V5 but there is NO way of finding out if the V5 is expired as they only have a lot number on the all filters. Any help or advice would be great! I don't want to give up on this machine just yet. Thanks for your detailed review! You know your stuff! Hope to hear from you.
@@Nate_4545 Hi I recently purchased a HealthPro Plus and I am having bad reactions as well to something the unit is producing. I've already taken the v5 filter out. That helped because the v5 filter had a specific odor on its own that was causing me problems. The customer service person I spoke to said it could be the alumina within the v5 media and that they would send me a carbon-only v5 filter. I'm waiting on that to arrive. However, I'm still having issues and I can't tell whether it's from the Hepa or the pre-filter. It's giving me very bad headaches and a slightly sore throat. This is the first time I've come across anyone referencing a potential issue with a glue used in the Hepa filter. Can you link me to other sources where people have described this issue?? I would really appreciate it. And did you ever figure out anything further or resolve this issue for yourself? What was IQAir's response to all of this?
I bet his house is dust-free, squeaky clean. I want this as well. But, too much dust due to the popcorn ceiling. Currently, I am running a Levoit Core 300 and a Honeywell InSight Air Purifier HPA5300B in my small bedroom. Still not enough.
Great video! I use the airpura ... I have similar health issues -- I live in a old house and its absolutely terrible. People in my neighborhood smoke chemical /synthetic marijuana and vape....it goes straight through my house...It has two old chimneys and a bad roof/ and windows it’s a lot. I never thought I’d welcome cigarette smoke which they do too! I have three Airpuras and 3 Austin airs .. they help greatly I find the filters with lots of carbon help the most- all the best☀️
Something I can’t wrap my head around is how does a large unit filter 1’000 square foot area? How does it get the air from each end of a big open space instead of just recycling the air directly around it? Half my house is all open to each other from the entry, through the living room, dining room, and kitchen (100 year old bungalow) and 1 good unit would certainly be easier but I still feel like I need one for each main room.
I’ve used Honeywell for the past 3-4 years and they were working really well, but it’s seem to be temporary that was before I knew mold was in my vents. I moved but I’m looking into getting the Austin Air now that my new place needs to off gas the Honeywell not doing so well
Hi, i live in very polluted city with a lot of pollution from factories and traffic pollution also. I would like your opinion very much, is this HealthProtect good enough for that or do you think i need the GC Multigas ? Thank you very much
He listed one but another expert in the business mentioned the only accurate filters start at around $3000 and all the ones below don’t even the small particles that are most relevant to measure to see if the unit is even effective..
hey jeffrey, thanks for your review. I was about to buy an Alen Air 75i when I stumbled upon your review. You have any thoughts with that vs this health pro?
Hi a question about buying and placing the IQAIR at night in the corridor near the bedroom doors (3 berdrooms) these are 3 seperated rooms, what would you do in a situation like this and is there any way to imrove the circulation of air between the bedrooms and and IQAIR in the corridor?
I recently got the pro version you have. One strange anomaly is that it makes the air smell like peppermint. I thought the unit was supposed to remove smells, not add a scent of its own. What's up with that? I messaged the manufacturer but did not get a response. Perplexed...
I've had good luck with the Alen breathsmart purifiers I'd say the IQ air is superior but way more money for filters and stuff. But I'd put the Alen over Honeywell, Levoit and so on.
I've been watching you for so long trying to find answers for a friend who is going through so many similar health conditions as you. Have you ever tried or heard about FMT (fecal matter transplant) as an option for healing?
No I’ve never tried it. The science on that isn’t definitive so following my current treatment plan and making small adjustments is the better option for me right now. And I’m not sure FMT is relevant for my condition. It could be for other illnesses or root causes of illnesses, so it just depends on the situation.
also, how often do you check the air filter of your air conditioning unit? do you check it quarterly? I've seen really dramatic stories of air ducts packed with dust, pollen, etc.
@@jessicah3450 the weird thing is in my household we check it quarterly and the filter is fine but I can still sometimes see dust accumulation on the air vents in each room. It leads me to believe that even if the filter looks ok even up until the four month mark -- and you own no pets -- it doesn't mean that it will catch all dust all the time. It seems that professionals might have to finish the job every ten years or so -- maybe less, maybe more, I'm not sure.
Great video. Keep it up! Have you reviewed the medify, enviroklenz, and Aloair air scrubber? Maybe a head to head in your review would be a great video from your perspective
@@JeffreyLin Hi Mr. Lin I've replaced my IQ Air V5 Cell filter two times now both emit a bad smell. The second V5 I just replaced even though it still had plenty of life left and emits a strong almost smoke like smell. IQ Air had me do an isolation test after doing so it was most certainly the V5 Cell from IQ Air. Have you tried any other V5 off brands? Or had any similar experiences? Any help would be great! Thanks for the video!
@@JeffreyLinThank you for your informative videos🙏could you please make an update for best/high quality air purifiers in 2024? Thank you very much in advance 🙏
Hey Mike, again it comes down to the CADR rating of the air purifiers you own. For smaller rooms such as bedroom and home office, one Honeywell HPA300 or HPA600b is more than enough. The "game room" where I filmed this video is open space, so needed this large IQ Air that had a big enough fan to cover this square footage. With Honeywells, it might take 3x HPA 300's to cover this room
Jeez americans got lucky I'm from canada and cost me 1500. Hope it works good my allergies have become severe every year to the point where I feel like im dying so I was desperate I got a cheap one for 100 and it does nothing
While houseplants help on the margin, they’re nowhere near enough for the amount of pollution, my reaction severity, and houseplants also don’t clean all types of viruses, bacteria, and chemicals. They can help with certain types only

By far the best on the market. Especially for larger spaces, high ceilings, etc. I'm 4 years into mine and its fantastic!

Why did you go with the HealthPro Plus instead of the GC Multigas?
Thank you so much for helping others with your expertise and advice. Sending you thoughts of strength and continued healing.
Thanks so much!

You got the right of it.
How to get 1000 square foot area filtered? Air conditioning and air flows built for the task.
Have you seen the iqair car purifier? It’s like the one for the house but is a small circle shape that straps to the back of the seat.
I’ve used Honeywell for the past 3-4 years and they were working really well, but it’s seem to be temporary that was before I knew mold was in my vents. I moved but I’m looking into getting the Austin Air now that my new place needs to off gas the Honeywell not doing so well
Trying to avoid aluminum/ metal dust, why would they put aluminum in the filter????
I have the honeywell 600 and like the metal housing a lot. It's very easy to change filters.

Just place it in the corridor.

also, how often do you check the air filter of your air conditioning unit? do you check it quarterly? I've seen really dramatic stories of air ducts packed with dust, pollen, etc.
3 months is the standard, but if you have pets or live in a place with poor air quality, it's a good idea to check them monthly.
@@jessicah3450 yeah i know quarterly is standard but not everyone follows basic protocol in my experience.

Yes

This is awesome; can you please review Sky Atmosphere Air Purifier?
Hi Jeffrey, i like your videos, especially the ones regarding techical stuff regararding air purifier and masks.
Bear in mind that even coarse air filters capture very small particles through compacting and molecular extraction. At a high percentage.
What’s it’s energy rating?
Good content
I want send video to you
What is the sound column ?
Thanks for this awesome review
Jeez americans got lucky I'm from canada and cost me 1500. Hope it works good my allergies have become severe every year to the point where I feel like im dying so I was desperate I got a cheap one for 100 and it does nothing
It works well, iam from Canada and I think I paid 1200 for it.
do houseplants help you at all? they're pretty good at cleaning the air.
While houseplants help on the margin, they’re nowhere near enough for the amount of pollution, my reaction severity, and houseplants also don’t clean all types of viruses, bacteria, and chemicals. They can help with certain types only
also, how often do you check the air filter of your air conditioning unit? do you check it quarterly? I've seen really dramatic stories of air ducts packed with dust, pollen, etc.
Yeah about quarterly...my air quality monitor will notice bad air when I turn on the AC or heat and air is pulled through a dirty filter.
great vid.
Does this have a uvc light?
No
Get rid of every piece of fabric in your home, all your carpet then all your allergies will go away. I am just like you but I manage it no problem.
Do you wat to be healthy buddy? easy change your diet; please go to Anthony William medical medium and watch his videos.
