Design and Usability
Like its award-winning design siblings, Airfree Onix 3000 derives straight from it. It has a very compact and lightweight body at 8.4 x 10.4 x 8.4 in and 3.3 lb weight. There are 2 side shells that I suppose it can assist you with the carrying? In any case, you will definitely have no problem carrying and placing it around the house. Air inlet is at the bottom air convection while air outlet is at top. Overall, the solid build quality would have no issue serving you for many years down the road.
Let’s talk about the one and only control. The adjustable anti-stress night light. Right between the 2 side shells, there is a light intensity touch sensor. You can easily adjust the night light brightness or turn it off during day time. Other than the anti-stress light, this air purifier is pretty much a plug and play unit.
Lastly, Let’s talk about passive features. All Airfree air purifiers are CARB certified for ozone-free. There is also thermal fuse, tilt sensor, varistor, current limiting fuse and Thermistor safety sensors.
Airflow, Coverage, And CADR
Like Iris 3000, Airfree Onix 3000 has a wide 650 sq. ft. purifying coverage. Great but the whole the sterilization process might take a while. The filter-free air purifier must be in continuous operation in order to be truly effective. You will only see the improvement gradually which could take up to 30 days. CADR is also equally impressive as the purifying coverage. Overall dust, pollen, and smoke have an outstanding 350 cfm figures. Significantly higher than most air purifiers CADR output within its segment. Based on the figures itself, 400S would have no problem handling heap of dust and allergens. Same goes with indoor smoke and odor pollutants.Recommended Read
Filters And Performance
Works similarly to boiling water where microorganisms are destroyed at high temperature. First, the inflow contaminants will be trap inside the TSS ceramic core. The mini-ducts inside the core would begin heating the air over 400°F (200°C). At this point, up to 99.99% of the contaminants are eliminated on the spot and left to cool down inside the machine. The clean air would then be release out without affecting the room temperature. The entire sterilization process is safe, no emissions, ions or new particles generated. In fact, Airfree Onix 3000 help reduces ozone by 26% as tested in Sweden's laboratories.

Noise And Energy Usage
Complete silent operation is one of the main highlight in this air purifier. The whole sterilization does not rely on a fan or any motor. Ideal for bedroom where you could leave the machine on 24x7. 52W Power consumption is not the lowest in Airfree lineup but is still on a low tier. The good thing is Onix 3000 will shut down its ceramic core and enter into energy-saving mode once it reaches a certain temperature.| Noise Type | Decibels |

Pricing And Maintainence Cost
We all know filter replacement is usually an air purifier Achilles heel. Airfree Onix 3000 base price is far from cheap, but the forever no recurring cost is what sweetens the deal. Plus, it is environmental-friendly because there is no filters or UV light lamp to toss away. Give yourself a big thumbs up for being an eco-warrior!Final Thoughts On Airfree Onix 3000
Love it or hate it. That's what most people thought of Airfree Onix 3000. 71% of the reviewers are happy with the outcome. They see their allergies disappear, along with all the symptoms.
